Personal Trainers with Pilates Allegro Reformer

Pilates is a body condition routine that seeks to strengthen the body’s core (torso), usually through a series of mat exercises. Pilates strengthens and tones muscles as well as increases flexibility.


We use and recommend Pilates equipment by Balanced Body.
Our personal trainers provide the guidance needed to ensure your Pilates Allegro reformer workouts fit your individual needs and fitness goals. This additional level of support from trained professionals provides you with immediate, specific feedback to make optimal use of the time you invest in personal wellness.

A reformer is a special apparatus that allows for full range of motion with increasing levels of difficulty. You will be guided through a series of controlled exercises that are specifically tailored to your level of ability.
Options
Choose from individual training sessions or small group training.
Classes
Introductory
This class is designed to provide an understanding of the fundamentals of Pilates Reformer work. It also serves as a great addition to an existing fitness program. The 4-session series covers body mechanics and alignment, core strength, breath work and economy of movement. This dynamic method is challenging, and facilitates core strength, correct posture and flexibility.

Intermediate
The 4 to 12 classes per session Intermediate class is for those who have completed the Introductory Series and are ready for greater challenge. Basic skills will be progressed to increase strength, flexibility and balance. Participants will be able to focus more deeply and receive more personalized hands-on instruction.

Advanced
In the 4 session Advanced class, the skills and abilities gained in the Introductory and Intermediate Series are built upon to further challenge the core muscles of the abdomen, gluteus and back. Strength and balance are emphasized with new and intense postures. Participants leave each session feeling energized and empowered by the movements.
