PHILOSOPHY

Pilates uses over 500 different exercises executed with a minimum number of repetitions and a high degree of precision in order to achieve a balance of strength, stretch and control. Pilates For Life implements the “Art of Contrology”, as named by Joseph H. Pilates, which works several muscle groups concurrently resulting in a method where the mind and body work in tandem to produce total body fitness.

Pilates For Life is distinctive in its dedication to the authentic teachings of Joseph H. Pilates. This method has stood the test of time and produces long lasting and life-changing results. By focusing in on the “Powerhouse”, (abdominal muscles, lower back and buttocks), individuals stabilize the core muscle groups of the torso, create good posture, better balance and a stronger more flexible spine.

Everyone benefits from the study of Pilates…men, women, young, sedentary and athletes. At Pilates For Life individuals work at their own level and progress in a manner based on fitness goals, prior injuries and age while using specialized apparatus and mats in 50-55 minute sessions. Each instructor is trained to develop an appropriate session for each individual with safety as a focus at all times. The staff at Pilates For Life is dedicated to the teaching of Joseph H. Pilates and have all completed a 700 hour training and extensive testing program under Romana Kryzanowska, master instructor and protégé of Joseph Pilates.

Pilates directly affects all aspects of your life resulting in a method of control that facilitates and supports work, play and other forms of exercise. The quality of an instructor is very important in choosing a Pilates studio. At Pilates For Life you can expect quality, dedication and a commitment to experience the best.
