I was looking to try something different from my usual routine of elliptical machines, spinning and circuit training at the gym that seemed to have my physique in a standstill. My perfectly toned hairstylist casually told me she stayed in shape with pilates and credited her long lean muscles to Katia at the Pilates Room whom she met with in a class of 6 only once a week. I was amazed at the results and had to check it out. That was May of 2006 and I have been devoted to the Pilates Room and Katia?s expertise ever since. The classes are small enough for the trainers? personal attention to each individuals form and ability: adjusting the springs and weights, correcting arching backs and preventing possible muscle aches and injuries due to incorrect form, lack of endured strength or fatigued muscles. In the more than two years I have been attending class with Katia, I have never once known her to have a bad day?if she did we never noticed. She is always upbeat, motivating, and pushing you to ?not cheat yourself? from a less than completely satisfying workout. Katia is always inventing new classes, researching better ways to burn off the weekends' toll on your body and has the best ever expanding collection of music?with beats paired to match each routine. I used to teach swimming, so I really appreciate the time and effort Katia takes to prepare for each class choreographing every move. She is knowledgeable, charming and living proof that pilates can do wonders for your body!
Pros: Two Thumbs way up for talented staff, great equipment, unique space and parking out front or trolley stop in back!
