The Fitness Secret of Athletes, Dancers & Celebrities
Pilates is a unique system of exercise that strengthens and lengthens your body fast. This makes it especially appealing for those who make a living from their physical performance and beauty. Now Sportsplex brings all the power of Pilates to you. Lets start with the basics.

Private or Duet Sessions
Experience all of the Pilates apparatus that you have seen and wondered  how to use! These 55 minute workouts utilize the reformer/tower combo, Wunda Chair combo, barrel, and various small Pilates apparatus. This classical approach is integrated (use a number of different apparatus), and systematic (following an order for the ultimate mind/body connection) to ensure a fun, challenging and never boring workout. Reservation required.

Tower Single or Duet Classes
Add “bells and whistles” to your Mat workout. The tower works with  springs and bar attachments for a total body workout. The resistance and tension of the springs help with many exercises to locate that “Powerhouse” connection. They also add an additional challenge.  This 45 minute workout requires a reservation.

Introductory Package
Consists of two private sessions and one tower class. Packages must be  used within 30 days.

The front desk is prepared to answer all Pilates questions.

Pilates FAQs
Q. What is Pilates?
A. Pilates is a system of exercises designed to strengthen and stretch the body. It works the body through focus, concentration, flexibility and the breath. Exercises are initiated through what we refer to as the “PowerHouse” which is beyond just the abdominals.

Q. What is the difference between the mat classes I have been taking and the apparatus/equipment?
A. Our apparatus sessions and tower classes have a maximum of three participants. This maintains the group dynamic while allowing for more individual attention. With the apparatus, the springs work as resistance to add challenge to the workout and simultaneously help to stabilize.

Q. What are the qualifications of the Instructors?
A. All of the Instructors are certified by internationally recognized Pilates educators. They further their education with continuing education workshops.

Q. How do I start?
A. The best way is with a private session. We also offer a great Intro package consisting of two privates and a tower class.

Q. How long before I see results and how often should I do this?
A. We absolutely encourage cross training, but for best results Pilates should be practiced at least twice a week. That could be in any combination: tower, mat, and/or apparatus. the result of a wonderful sense of well being is felt immediately after a session or class.

Q. Who benefits from Pilates?
A. Everyone even though everybody’s goals are different. Pilates can enhance athletic performance by working overly tight muscles, strengthening weak muscles and balancing the body. People who have never exercised before like the method for its systematic approach and non competitive nature. For long time exercisers, it is a new challenge.
