Focusing First on the Body’s Center, or Core
CenterFocus combines the most up-to-date fitness principles and research with exercises created more than 90 years ago by Joseph H. Pilates. This is the best method of total body conditioning!
Pilates focuses on the body’s center, or core: deep abdominal and back muscles. Emphasis is placed on muscle symmetry and proper body alignment from head to toe. It maintains a balance between strength and flexibility, and trains the whole body rather than isolating small parts. Pilates is not only a functional way to train, but very time-effective.
Many exercises are used to optimize a balanced training effect. With countless variations, based on your individual needs, you will never get bored. The key to this method is quality rather than quantity, so form and precision will not be compromised. You will achieve greater muscle control. Muscles are neither over-trained nor under-trained, and the results are gratifying!
Benefits of Pilates Training
- Abdominals will be flatter and your posture will improve, creating a longer, healthier and leaner look, even without shedding a pound! You will firm your upper and lower body as well.
- An aligned, more evenly trained body will hold less muscle tension, have better balance and coordination. You will feel lighter on your feet.
- Normal daily and recreational activities will be performed with greater ease.
- Greater muscle control and movement awareness can dramatically improve your athletic performance.
- With stronger abdominals supporting your spine and better body mechanics, back pain and injury risk can be reduced.
- By improving spinal stability and spinal flexibility you can age more gracefully! Our emphasis is on longevity.
- Both muscle strength and length will make you look better, feel better and function better!
Your First Session
On your first appointment, we will discuss your health history and fitness goals, and you will undergo a complete postural evaluation. Then you will begin by learning the proper breathing techniques and the core fundamentals—introductory exercises necessary to grasp the method.
Next, we will tailor your program to your specific needs. As you improve over time, more challenging exercises will be added. You will work faster (but still safely), accomplishing much more in your one-hour session. 2-3 one-hour sessions per week are recommended.
You will leave each session more in tune with your body and revitalized!
