There is no new or old way to teach Pilates. There is a RIGHT way. Pilates is a movement “system” involving any and all apparatus for safe progression to more advanced exercises including rolling and inversions. Pilates is ideal for addressing issues like back pain, you will be challenged and it’s fun!  At Performance Pilates we offer Classical Pilates classes with and without the fascial approach. With a goal and purpose for every exercise, equipment classes may include work on any combination of Reformer, Mat, Cadillac, Chair or Barrels. Equipment classes are limited to 5 people…not 12, so that each client gets the personal attention they need.

Keeping our connective tissue healthy, elastic and pliable is where Pilates movement comes in.

Michelle and I hold comprehensive certifications through PEAK Pilates. Our additional certification through the Centre for Spatial Medicine, enables us to teach through a myofascial lens. Fascia is our connective tissue. Healthy connective tissue can keep you free from injury and improve mobility. Tom Brady of the New England Patriots trains with the same ideas calling it “Pliability Training”.   He’s spent an unheard of 19 years in the NFL.  He’s 41, and still playing!  Fascia surrounds every bone, muscle, organ, cell and nerve.  Keeping it healthy, elastic and pliable is where Pilates movement comes in.

“Providing top notch service in a safe environment with stellar results for YOU is our ultimate goal. Quality over quantity!”

There are a lot of choices when looking for a Pilates studio. Educate yourself.  Look for quality teachers who are certified through a hands on, 450+ hour course, not online training…It’s like a doctor getting his or her degree primarily online.  You want teachers like myself, my business partner, and our colleagues because we continue to further expand and grow our knowledge, and support each other in this pursuit. You want entrepreneurs like us who have opened our own studios to provide superior service and education to our clients at a very high standard. For those who don’t truly understand what Pilates can offer, a cheaper price tag might be attractive…so is Wal-mart sometimes for some things. Providing top notch service in a safe environment with stellar results for YOU is our ultimate goal. Quality over quantity!
