Though time is taken to discuss proper execution of the exercises, even the most experienced practitioners will find this class informative and challenging. The more knowledge you have, the more focused and intense your workouts will be. Improve posture and increase muscular strength and endurance.

Fitness Circle®

Challenge coordination, strength and endurance as you move fluidly through the entire Essential mat repertoire of 35+ exercises in a 1-hour class. It is suggested that participants have a minimum of 3 private sessions or 10 mat classes under their belt before attempting this class, as basic principles and terminology will not be covered.

BCB - Ball, Circle, Band

“BCB” offers a well-rounded and challenging workout that incorporates small apparatus to provide increased intensity and biofeedback. Though the flow of the class may be somewhat staccato, as compared to a standard Pilates mat class, you are assured a complete workout that will build core endurance, peripheral strength, 3-dimensional flexibility and spinal stability.

Refomer Fundamentals

Learn proper set-up and safety guidelines for the Universal Reformer in addition to STOTT PILATES basic principles. We will cover proper execution of Essential exercises, as well as jumping technique for those interested in the Cardio Reformer classes. This is great introductory class for those with no prior experience, and is a prerequisite for participation in any Group Reformer class unless you have prior experience with STOTT PILATES, or instructor approval.

Reformer Essential Flow

Not just core conditioning; In this resistance-based workout we will touch on improved flexibility and strength for every one of your muscles, right down to your toes. Participants are required to complete 3 private training sessions, or 6 Fundamental Reformer classes, or have prior experience before joining this class.

Cardio Reformer

Pilates itsself is not enough, unless you add our "Cardio Reformer" class to your workout regime. Get your heart rate up for optimal fat burning, while you simultaneously build long lean muscle, improve posture, and challenge your mind.

Open Gym

Anyone who has completed a minimum of 5 private training sessions, at our studio or elsewhere, may choose to participate in our Open Gym sessions. The Open Gym program provides a venue for self-directed practice, and an opportunity to improve upon the workout program that has been developed by your private session instructor.

Open Gym Sessions are NOT a substitute for private instruction. It is suggested that practitioners continue to participate in a minimum of four private sessions/month with their regular instructor, in order to evaluate their progress, set new goals and add to their repertoire of exercises.
