The Real Routine II
This is an advanced level class geared more towards a seasoned Pilates student.

Modifications will be given for those with injuries, but you are expected to know the basics and have a comfortable understanding of the reformer. Magic circles, jumping boards, therabands and other props are often incorporated.
Back Fit
Back Fit is a class designed to focus on core and back muscle strengthening for those with prior back pain and those who would like to prevent it! In this 55 min class the instructor will teach you exercises aimed at stabilizing the areas of your spine that are most prone to weakness and structural injury or problems. We want the students to gain and understanding of the primary exercises that we teach to our chiropractic and chronic back pain patients. We hope that you will take what you learn from the class and apply it to your own regimen of strengthening and stretching.
Jump Board Fusion
Looking for a Pilates reformer class that will get your heart rate up, burn calories and also sculpt long lean muscles? This fun class uses the Pilates reformer and incorporates the use of the jump board, circuiting between classic reformer exercises and jumping sections. Jumping allows the unique use of gravity to help strengthen and tone the whole body that builds bone density in a way that most workouts are not able to achieve. This is an upbeat class that will keep you moving while maintaining good form!

Designed to balance strength and alignment while also incorporating various stretching techniques, using the reformer, jump board and accessories. This class will deliver high intensity core conditioning with classical Pilates work while targeting all postural muscle groups.
