WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your abdominals, obliques, lower back, inner and outer thighs, booty, and more. Everyone can benefit from Pilates, as it improves strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, and posture.
A pilates workout is one of the best ways to firm and shape the body with exercises that create long, lean, toned muscles. These results are created by using “core-based” movements to build strength and increase endurance. There are so many exercise variations and progressions, you will have a hard time getting bored. Plus, you will be motivated by how effective the workout is.
Experience the life/body changing movements of a traditional Pilates workout but infused with high vibe music and an energized pace. Pilates is extremely effective for creating full body tone and strength. Everyone needs pilates in their life and Pilates fusion is a fun way to do it.
This is a great class for beginners and advanced alike, as we focus on the more traditional basic principles of Pilates. This does NOT mean EASY. The movements are done slower which is extremely effective for building core strength and truly understanding the essence of each exercise. Using techniques from the world renowned Stott pilates method, you will take your body awareness to the next level, making all your other workouts much better as you learn to activate deep core, back, glutes, and inner/outer thigh muscles.

Get ready to gain strength from the your deepest core muscles and those arms a hyper focused burn.

WHAT IS BARRE?
It is never too late to reap all the benefits of a ballet based workout. You do not have to be a dancer (no grace required) to see the benefits of a barre conditioning workout. This class tightens and tones your butt and thighs and is also lower impact. We make sure the music and energy is on pointe to make this workout so fun, you will forget how hard you are working.
BARRE WITH BEATS:
This is a full body workout that will have you not only sweating but bopping your head to the beat. If you like a challenging workout set to a killer playlist, then this workout is for YOU. Barre with beats is just as much about the beats (of the music) then the Barre (a ballet based training structure).
FULL BODY BARRE:
Full Body Barre is challenging both mentally and physically as we take you through a full body workout using not only just the ballet barre but a variety of props (balls, bands, circles and light weight) to create a full body toning and conditioning workout.
