Classes
The Pilates-based method of conditioning may seem
different than other forms of exercise, with an increased
emphasis on breathing AND body awareness. To establish a
strong foundation to build upon, we recommend that clients
begin with individual training sessions. The instructor will
evaluate your needs through postural analysis and muscle
testing, introduce principles of movement and stability
which are the heart of the method, and teach beginning
exercises in a private environment.
Individual sessions allow the exerciser to gain a deeper
understanding of the system, and provides an opportunity for
the trainer to personalize the routine, creating
modifications that keep the exercise safe and challenging.
After completing the introductory lessons, some prefer to
continue with one-on-one training while others find great
success in a group setting. Some clients enjoy participating
in both formats.
INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
(SOUTH WINDSOR, GLASTONBURY & HARTFORD)
Working individually with a trainer is the quickest way to
reach your health and fitness goals. In private lessons,
clients have access to all of the Pilates apparatus, and
their instructor can create a routine, tailored to your
needs. Lessons are 55 minutes, and can be scheduled around
your availability. Half hour and 1 1/2 hour sessions are
also available.
SEMI PRIVATE SESSIONS (SOUTH
WINDSOR & GLASTONBURY)
Semi-private lessons are a more economical way to train,
while still receiving plenty of personal attention from your
instructor. Working out with a friend (or two!) is a
great way to bond and help support each other while working
towards your fitness goals. Couples and families
looking to spend more quality time together may also enjoy
semi-private lessons. Duet (2 clients, 1 trainer) and
Trio (3 clients, 1 trainer) may be scheduled by calling
860.644.4455 (South Windsor) or 860.899.9242 (Glastonbury).
55 minute lesson.
GROUP REFORMER (SOUTH WINDSOR)
Class consists of a mat-based warm-up and a fitness workout
on the reformer to provide a balanced, full-body workout.
Class size is limited to 6 to
ensure safety on the equipment. Reformer classes are geared
towards fitness rather than rehabilitation. If you are
returning from injury, we request that you schedule
individual training sessions to meet your specific needs. 50
minute class
GROUP EQUIPMENT (GLASTONBURY)
Our equipment group classes accommodate a maximum of 4
participants, to provide an experience closer to a private
lesson than a group. Classes will incorporate training on
the reformer, chair, barrel, and mat work incorporating
small props to provide variety and challenge in workouts and
to maximize our clients’ understanding of Pilates.
GROUP MAT (SOUTH WINDSOR)
Build a strong foundation in Pilates, enhance your knowledge
and expand your repertoire. Keep track of how far you’ve
come by increasing your challenge. Core training class will
increase your muscular endurance, flexibility, and energy
level, while reducing pain and stiffness in muscles. If you
have a history of back pain, please speak with an instructor
about individual training to prepare you for group classes.
50 minute class
GROUP CHAIR (SOUTH WINDSOR)
**NEW**
Put a new spin on your Pilates knowledge with the stability
chair workout. The chair can be the most challenging piece
of equipment to master because it provides a much smaller
base of support while working out. Our intermediate classes
are great for building functional core strength, athletic
conditioning, and improving balance and coordination.
Appropriate for clients with previous experience on the
reformer. Instructor approval required before joining.
