Our extensively trained instructors will tailor a workout designed specifically for your needs. Whether you are rehabilitating an injury, simply looking for an exercise you enjoy, or training for a specific sport or event.

To truly gain all of the benefits of Pilates, it is important to set a good foundation in the technique. To help you do this we offer an introductory special that includes 3 private sessions for $99.00.

“In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference and in 30 you’ll have a whole new body.” - Joseph Pilates

We offer both private and semi-private sessions in the studio.
