Pilates is exercise – When a person exercises he or she burns calories and this can aid in weight loss.Pilates is goal based exercise and a person who has the goal of weight loss needs to communicate this to the instructor so that his/her workout can be modified to increase calorie output.It is important to remember that exercise has to happen everyday and a person committed to using Pilates as exercise for weight loss should commit to a strenuous home program as well as 1-2/week in the studio.2.

Smiles & Success: Client Reviews That Say It All:

This year I started going to the The Pilates Studio on a regular basis using the 10-20-30 package, focusing on the reformer and it has really been a fantastic experience on many levels.  First - my body: after every session I feel more connected to my body, more control over my muscles, and overall just better.  Second - the company: all of the teachers are fantastic.  Not only are they super knowledgeable and dedicated to helping each individual, but they are fun to be around. I look forward to every session!  Third - the people:  I didn't come here to make friends, but I have found connection with several individuals that attend the classes with me, and that helps me stay motivated and gives me even more reason to look forward to coming.  TPS is a great studio.  I recommend it hands-down.

I took the Beginner Reformer series with Katrina and it is 5 Stars! The class was full - 8 beginners - but she did not have a slightest problem running around and paying attention to every one of us.  A super neat thing about these series is that if you miss a class then there is make up/bonus class, which, if you signed up for the series you can also purchase as a bonus for a discount. That came handy to me given that I could not attend one Tuesday - but I loved this series so much that I would buy the 7nd class anyway :) Katrina is very knowledgeable and experienced in all things Pilates, and I'll definitely try to take another series at this Studio - and they usually fill up fast so if you are thinking about some of the series then don't overthink it, they're a great idea and you will love it!
