The Memorial Athletic Club for Women has two fully equipped Pilates studios.
 
We are dedicated to bringing the best Pilates training and instructors to Houston. All of our Pilates Instructors are trained through Stott. With an emphasis on breath, core conditioning and body awareness, Pilates is a safe and highly effective way to stretch, strengthen and streamline your body without bulking up or stressing your joints. Performed on a mat or specialized equipment, Pilates is a fitness regime for a lifetime and a perfect compliment to cardiovascular exercise, sport, or rehabilitation.

Whether you're recovering from injury or already in great shape, Pilates is a stress relieving way to achieve and maintain optimal fitness and well-being. Exercises are modified to suit your needs and abilities. So, regardless of your age, gender or fitness level, Pilates will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalized and moving with ease.
 • Increased muscle strength/tone

Four private sessions to learn the fundamentals of Pilates and some beginner exercises on mat and equipment. Each session is 45 minutes in duration and the cost is $200.00
These classes are available the third Saturday of every month. Once you have participated in an introductory class you can be placed in a Reformer class with others of comparable skill level.
All reformer classes are $25.00 each. Classes must be paid for in advance by the 25th of the month prior to class.
Mat pilates is the most difficult form of Pilates. We recommend you take an Introduction Package before attending any Pilates classes. Mat based classes include: Basic Principles, Essential, Intermediate, Ball and Band, Power and Osteopilates. These classes are all offered free to members. See Carrie Gimmestad about any Group Mat classes for yoga or pilates.
Enhance your Pilates experience by adding specialized equipment to your mat class, which will increase the intensity of your workout and add new dimensions to your routine. In this class we use arc barrels, foam rollers, fitness circles, bands, and balls.
Increase the challenge to your core strength and stability with added resistance and flowing movement. Our Reformer classes have a maximum of five individuals, so the instructor is able to give attention to proper form and technique. See Sue Donahoe for questions concerning reformer classes. >>class schedule
