THE TRX WORKOUT ! 

SUMMERS ONLY

This workout will be available for single person privates or for duets.  Duets will split the hourly fee-- $30 per person. Duets will do a circuit -so while one person is on the TRX, the other will be doing something equally as challenging.  This workout will be outside so you should dress accordingly. TRX training will end Sept 30 for the winter months.
 You will need shoes, a towel and a strong determination. All workouts will be adapted to your fitness level -of course.  The schedule for MAY privates will be out next week.

WHAT IS TRX?

It requires the use of the TRX® Suspension Trainer™, a highly portable performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user’s body weight to enable hundreds of exercises for every fitness goal.

    The STABILITY CHAIR

     STOTT PILATES Stability Chair  

    Expand your Pilates workout options with the multifunction Stott Pilates split-pedal stability chair. Ideal for clients who need to stay in a seated or upright position, the stability chair helps rebalance your muscles while providing a full-body workout. It also facilitates high-performance exercise for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and rehab clients.

    While stability chair workouts typically focus on the legs and torso, the split-pedal chair is adjustable to train other muscle groups as well, including arms, back, chest, and more. As a result, users can achieve upper- and lower-body strength and conditioning during every Pilates workout. Plus, the chair's smaller base of support and dual pedals allow for bilateral, unilateral, and reciprocal movements, helping improve stability and overall balance.

    NOT SEEING RESULTS IN CLASS?   YOU SHOULD BE......

      If any of you are NOT seeing results in class, or are unsure if you are "getting" the Pilates connections--Please come see me privately for an intense look at what you are doing and how you are performing your Pilates moves. You are paying money to get results and I want you to get results so lets work together !!!

    Reformer dates are available but limited due to high demand.   Anyone wishing to try the reformer just drop me an email to schedule a time. I will do my best to accommodate you. Private reformer and chairs sessions are offered in my home.

     Also those of you looking for a Cardio plus Pilates workout you can try out the Reformer Jumpboard or Cardio Tramp workout. This interval training will increase your heart rate and also give you those rock hard abs. It's a challenging workout with LOW impact. Feel like a kid again and JUMP !
