This will sound like a cliché but ProPilates is for everyone because our programs balance the autonomic nervous system which helps you to:
• Manage physical, mental & emotional stress effectively.
• Properly regulate your muscle tone which makes you more flexible and allows you to use your muscles more efficiently when working out or simply getting things done during your day.
• Helps your digestion which aids in weight loss.
• Improves your sleep so you can restore and repair your body after your daily activities.
• Improves your focus and concentration
• Optimizes you vision and hearing

Very often our body will create compensatory movements to avoid pain after an injury or to facilitate recovery after a surgery. Compensatory movements are inefficient and unreliable substitute for the natural movement patterns we are born with. Compensatory movement patterns are emergency mechanisms to help you cope with an issue short term. If used for long time they can cause injuries, pain, muscle over use and weight gain, which makes eliminating them a priority. At ProPilates we determine the dysfunctional movements first, restore your natural movements next and strengthen your body using Pilates, Gyrotonic and Acupuncture so you can enjoy happy and pain free life.

YES! We start by balancing your base of support (your feet) to improve the stability and proper alignment of the hips and pelvis. Once the base of your spine is properly supported our next mission is to restore the movement of your spine and lastly to start challenging the back muscles with Basic Pilates exercises. Just remember you can’t challenge what doesn’t work well and expect a good outcome. That’s why proper balancing of your body is necessary first.

We are born with 7 very basic, primary movements that are encoded in our DNA and their main purpose is to ensure our survival during the first year of our life. They help our nervous system mature and to develop neurological circuits for more complex movements and skills. As we get older these primary movements get disrupted due to injuries, surgeries, trauma and stress and that not only makes your movement inefficient but it affects your cognitive ability such as attention, memory, and executive functions like reasoning, planning, problem solving, and multitasking. All ProPilates programs are based on restoring and using the 7 primary movement patterns which will help you avoid: • Poor posture. • Inability to sculpt and shape your body. • Weight gain. • Poor memory and focus.

Please bring water, socks and a towel. During your first session at ProPilates you will fill up a medical history form along with a wellness waver. Your ProPilates Instructor will go over any injuries, surgeries and medical conditions you might have to better understand safety considerations and to design the most effective and safe program for you. Please communicate any discomfort you might experience during your session so a proper modification of the exercise can be made to avoid it.
After your session - You might experience some mild soreness usually 24 to 48 hours after your session. Don’t be alarmed, you used muscles you haven’t used long time ago and they are responding to the workout.

Group classes are FUN and very social at ProPilates! You will meet a lot of wonderful people and make new friends. Group classes are also easy to fit in everyone’s budget because we offer many class series options.
Important: During ProPilates Group classes the instructor’s attention is divided between all class participants so it is important to stay focused on your body movement and the Pilates equipment in use to ensure safety and optimal results.
Please bring socks, water and a towel to class.

During Private ProPilates sessions you master your Pilates technique, while during the group ProPilates classes you test your Pilates technique and efficiency. The outcome of your ProPilates training is only as good as your Pilates technique. We recommend that you add a Private ProPilates session at least once a month to keep improving your Pilates skills.

That depends on you! How often do you practice, how is your nutrition, how many hours do you sleep, what is your stress level? Usually, 8 weeks is a sufficient amount of time for you to see a change. The sooner you start, the sooner you will start transforming!

Ideally EVERY DAY but we know that is too much to ask for. For you to see permanent changes in your body composition, to feel better, to improve your posture, strength and flexibility as well as to sleep better, manage stress more productively and for better quality of life we recommend 3 times a week.

We understand that life sometimes is a struggle and it’s difficult to keep up with monthly expenses. This is why we created different programs to fit your budget. Your HEALTH is your only WEALTH.
