What should I wear to my session?

Please wear the most form-fitting clothes that are comfortable for you.  Men -  you may want to wear bike shorts or sweat with a fitted T-shirt.  Woman - stretch pants or biker shorts with a fitted tee will be fine. The need to see your alignment and the movement of the muscles is essential to the proper teaching of the work. 

How many times a week should I take Pilates, and when will I notice a change in my body?

Pilates should be practiced at least two to three times a week. Since no exercise program has a "quick fix" it is recommended that a student participate in at least thirty sessions for optimum results.

Can I take Pilates if I am overweight or have a weak back, hip, or knees?

Yes, Pilates is suited for all body types; however, we do not claim to be physical therapists or medical doctors. The Pilates system, taught in its pure form, has been known to be an effective rehabilitation tool. During your private session, the instructor will modify the exercises appropriately.

Will I lose weight with Pilates?

Pilates will help to lengthen and tone muscles, and with consistent workouts, provide a more streamlined look. Remember a successful weight loss program is a combination of proper diet and cardio exercise.
