OUR MISSION is to provide the best quality service and instruction possible. We are committed to fun, challenging and safe workouts combining flexibility with strength.

Our staff continually updates their knowledge with educational workshops to keep them on top of the latest research in exercise.

We have dedicated our careers to reaching the zenith of exercise proficiency in order to design the appropriate workout for the right person.

As optimal movement teachers, our goal is to help our clients reeducate the proper muscles to work at the proper time, with the proper effort. We work to re-pattern the sequence in which muscles fire.

It would be much easier to give clients a swiss ball program or have them do a bunch of abs. It's more challenging to invite clients to learn how to recruit muscles in the most efficient order. We show clients different strategies to reactivate stability muscles, the muscles that protect joint-neutral.

For example, in the lumbar spine, we use the transversus abdominus, multifidus and the posterior fasciculi of psoas. Muscles that control joint-neutral are trained prior to adding a load. Strengthening is not appropriate until you have reactivated those stabilizing muscles.

As efficient movement teachers, we must be able to differentiate stability from strength. We must not assume a client is weak because of an inability perform an exercise.

For the lumbar spine, we should train spinal stability muscles first. When appropriate, progress the client to Gyrotonic®/Pilates strengthening exercises. Gyrotonic® and Bodyscapes Pilates require knowledge of muscle anatomy and muscle function.

Remember design your Gyrotonic®/Pilates program for the individual client. All things are difficult before they are easy.
