FEEL THE BALANCE
V2 Max Plus Reformers
Now booking private and semi-private sessions. The V2 Max reformer is a pilates machine suitable for everyone including athletes, regular fitness enthusiasts, active aging and rehab recipients. The unique spring resistance of this machine helps generate smooth muscular contractions that develop strength without bulk.
Step-Petal Stability Chairs
The Stability Chair helps rebalance muscles and provides a full-body workout. It also facilitates high-performance exercises for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, as well as rehab clients.
While Stability Chair workouts typically focus on the legs and torso, this multi-function Pilates machine can also be adjusted to train almost all muscle groups. This sturdy piece of equipment helps the exerciser achieve upper- and lower-body strength and conditioning, enhance stability and improve body control. The smaller base of support and dual pedals allow for bilateral, unilateral and reciprocal movements to increase intensity and overall balance.
TRX Suspension Trainer
The TRX Suspension Training unit is a portable, industrial-strength, nylon webbing system with handles, foot cradles and anchoring attachments. TRX stands for Total Body Resistance Exercise
The TRX unit uses your own body weight against gravity to increase strength, stability and endurance. As it's suspended, rather than fixed like traditional weight training equipment, it requires a great deal of core work to stabilize your movements against the forces of gravity.
If you already like working out with stability balls, foam rollers and elastic resistance equipment, you'll probably enjoy the challenge. It doesn't look as macho as pushing weights, but once you try it, I'm sure you'll be convinced otherwise. Because the TRX system is suspended, it creates a dynamic environment, making the neuromuscular system work to co-ordinate movement. Athletes will love this right away. In fact, the professional NHL and NFL teams and many elite level athletes are using it.
BOSU:
Both Sides Utilized. The BOSU is the perfect conditoning tool to improve cardiovascular fitness, muscle endurance, postural alignment, core conditioning, overall fitness and balance. The BOSU challenges all abilities from beginner to advanced athlete. Studies determine efficiency of the BOSU to improve balance and abdominal strength by 31% with a 4 week program in adults of various ages. Incorporating the BOSU in your pilates routine will show remarkable results in terms of muscle tone and strength, balance, coordination and cardiovascular benefits.
Gliding Discs
Gliding exercises can be used to transform and enhance exisiting exercises. Pilates programs benefit greatly from the sliding discs, allowing for traditional pilates exercises to be performed for a deeper, longer range of motion and improve core stabiltiy and balance.
