Let me just say I love my Pilates practice with Club Pilates. I am in my early 50's and I can't…read moreemphasize enough how important it is to work on our mobility...especially as we age. I never knew I had any athletic bone in my body (my parents pushed academics in high school) until my early 20's when I started going to the gym. I became the biggest gym rat spending 2-3 hours a day doing weights and various group exercise classes. I've participated in all the trending hits throughout the years (TKD, Tae-bo, kickboxing, step aerobics, regular aerobics, running, spinning/cycling, ashtanga yoga, Zumba, Orange Theory, HOTWORX, functional fit, HIIT, CrossFit and all the variety of Les Mills programming) and after having done ALL of that, I have found Pilates to be truly my thing right now. My body has been through a lot. Pilates gives me the chance to still get an amazing, challenging workout at a different level. Anyone who says Pilates is too easy, means they really have not embraced a true Pilates workout. I say this because even the lower level classes can still be challenging...it all depends on the person...how slow you take the movement, hold the pose and breathe. Classes go from level 1 to 2.5 with a variety of disciplines like reformer flow, suspend (TRX use), control, cardio sculpt or center & balance. You learn how to really engage the muscles very differently and I always appreciate the corrections from the instructors. I strive to have correct form and posture to make the most of every workout. So many of my other activities have improved because of my incorporated Pilates practice....walking, stepping, weights, spinning...and best of all, skiing! I even got my girl tribe introduced into Pilates and now they love it as well! I literally go through Pilates withdrawals and even vacation with the girl tribe fitting in a destination Pilates (CP preferred, wink-wink) class if possible. I love my practice of Pilates. I love how strong my body has changed and how I can execute strength & flexibility moves that I used to admire in others that I can also now do. I love the compliments I get, "like your pike looks great" or "you got it"! I love my teachers and my studios. I totally recommend anyone to try and incorporate Pilates into their fitness routine. Mobility is everything.
