Pilates
Bring Your Body Into Balance.

Experience one of the fastest growing exercise methods in the world.

Pilates improves your core strength and stability, while providing better posture and flexibility, no matter what your age or mobility. It’s a great way to enhance the connection of mind, body and spirit.

A certified and highly experienced Healthplex instructor will teach you the six principles of Joseph Pilate’s innovative and effective method: centering, concentration, control, precision, breathing and flow. You’ll even learn how to reduce stress, just as in meditation.   Starting with an assessment of your needs, you can work through the basic, intermediate and advanced levels, or find a comfortable level that gives you the tools you need to improve yourself.

In addition to Group Pilates Instruction, The Healthplex offers one-on-one Private Instruction or in smaller groups of two or three, which will help you focus on your own technique, accelerate your learning and allow you to customize your routine for your own particular needs.

Group Classes, Private and Semi-Private Instruction (groups of 2 or 3) are available to Healthplex members only.

Pilates Reformers

For a more rigorous workout, you can challenge yourself on our Pilates Reformer equipment, which offers more resistance and support than exercising on a mat. With one-on-one private instruction in a separate studio, you can achieve life-changing results, safely and effectively.

Suzanne Vertin Power Pilates Certified, Suzanne has trained classically under Joseph Pilates trainers who have continued Joseph's pure classical approach. The progressions of movements are Joseph's, and no movement is introduced until the student's body is ready to accept it. Each and every moment is initiated from the core or "Powerhouse". Every person can benefit from this approach. Come and experience the movement (movement heals) of Joseph Pilates.
