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. |

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 our scheduled mat classes in the mind/body
schedule. |
 |
| 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.
Fees for these classes are $5.00 per class, or you can purchase a
card to attend ten classes for $30.00. Non-members must pay a guest
fee in addition to the class fee. |
 |
| 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. Our current Reformer class schedule
is listed below. We are adding classes as our schedule and instructor
schedule permits. |
