"Physical Fitness is the first requisite of happiness."  
-Joseph H. Pilates
Labor Day 2017, here we come.  The fall is a great time to renew your goals and refresh your schedule.  Check our September special below and a few events that we will be a part of.  Also take a look at our schedule of classes and the MELT Introductory Workshops.  Sharon Michels continues to offer massage in our Jenkintown studio by appointment.  Remember we also have Romana's Pilates apprentices that you can schedule with to have that extra Pilates session. 

We pause to remember our mentor, Romana Kryzanowska , on the anniversary of her passing 8/30/2013.  Her spirit still guides us as we share Pilates with you.  

Izzy Barish
Client of the Month
Izzy Barish
has been studying Pilates with June Hines since 1998. Izzy has moved all his life practicing yoga, martial arts, biking, Indian clubs, kettle bells, and on and on. Here is what Izzy had to say about Pilates. 

What brought you to Pilates?

My wife, Susie, brought me to Pilates. She said, "You must try this.  I think you would like it.  It's more difficult than it looks."  So I tried it, thinking that I was in great shape and it would be no problem.  Boy was I surprised at the difficulty of what I was being asked to do. I could not control the muscles necessary to move how I was being asked to. The control that's needed to move properly takes a lot of mental work. Coming from a Martial Arts background with the "Mind/Body" being one concept, I found it was a perfect fit. It didn't take long for me to get hooked.

How has Pilates helped you?
(L-R): June Hudson, Greg, Matthew, and Izzy

Pilates helped me to learn about my body and it's many imbalances. Pilates realigns me so that I move better in daily life with less aches and pains due to the proper posture learned and the proper way to move with control and balance. With more freedom of movement, I can do more and enjoy what I do more.
Plus, I actually play with the Grandchildren and not just sit and watch.
I do a lot (I mean really a lot) of other kinds of physical strenuous exercises and Pilates keeps me safe by strengthening my weakness and bringing more balance to my body. I used to get injuries due to imbalances, misalignments, and improper movement. With Pilates, I am somewhat injury free except for my own prat falls.
I get a great sense of wellbeing from doing Pilates. Seeing the improvements over time is really satisfying and I just feel really good from doing Pilates. It satisfies my need to be challenged and improve with its progressive nature.
It's taught me that with patient perseverance and persistence you can improve your movement and imbalances in your body. The same lesson can also be extrapolated to anything in life.
I could go on forever...
What can I say. "I LOVE PILATES"

Tower units in Jenkintown
New Tower Units in our Jenkintown Studio.
We are excited to announce the addition of new Gratz tower units in our Jenkintown studio.  The tower units are very much like a cadillac which everyone loves.  Our apparatus classes have been enhanced giving us the option to offer leg springs, arm springs and a variety of exercises that Joseph Pilates created.  The stretching and elongated strengthening work makes the tower units a favorite.  See our schedule below and sign up to experience a class and enjoy!
