Pilates is a method of exercise that has been the secret of athletes and dancers for years. It is a gentle impact system of movements designed to: improve muscle and joint flexibility, correct posture problems, relieve back pain, and add strength without bulk. Pilates lengthens muscles to give you a sleeker look. It is a great way to achieve the mind/body connection we know to be essential in good health.

Imagine a focused workout, a little yoga and a massage rolled into one: that is what a session of Pilates feels like. After doing Pilates, you will feel energized and refreshed.

PowerFlex

According to leading health experts, we shouldn't focus our attention just on losing weight. The more lean muscle we have, the more calories we burn—even at rest. The metabolic increase makes strength training the most effective way to burn fat.

With this type of exercise routine, one can improve body shape and tone, improve muscular strength and endurance, and increase bone density. The increased bone density created by strength training workouts can lower the risk of developing osteoporosis.

PowerFlex is a barbell workout set to music designed to provide an effective total body workout offering all the benefits of strength training. Classes are modified to suit all fitness levels.

PowerFlex Plus

Powerflex with intervals mixed in to give you both sculpting and bursts of cardio.
