Pilates is a physical fitness system
designed in the early 20th century by
German-born Joseph Hubertus Pilates.
It is a method of exercise and physical
improvement designed to stretch,
strengthen and balance the body.
Many people turn to Pilates not just as
a form of exercise, but as a next step
after rehabilitation when recovering
from an injury.
Pilates Plus offers several different
styles of Pilates such as classical,
contemporary and clinical. In
addition, Pilates Plus also offers
training sessions with Real Ryder
Cycling bikes, TRX, Piloxing (a
creative mix between Pilates and
boxing), barre training and Yoga.
Nutritional counseling and massage
are also available.
Here is what some of the customers
are saying about Pilates Plus:
“I went to my first class today at
Pilates Plus and the studio is beautiful,
instructor was classically trained and
excellent. I took a regular Pilates
equipment class but they seem to have
an array of interesting classes. I will
definitely go back. Lastly, the owner
was super nice and accommodating.”
“My wife suggested I start Pilates with
her about six months ago as a way to
increase my flexibility and core
strength. Although I was hesitant, I
agreed and we chose Pilates Plus for its
location. We were fortunate to have
Kristie as our first instructor and have
continued to schedule her classes.”
There are six instructors teaching at
Pilates Plus. Each one of these
instructors brings their unique style,
personality and background to each
session:
Melissa Peda is PMA certified. She
enjoys working with people who have
suffered injuries and helping them to
see the results with regular practice.
Melissa has a background as a singer
and teaches vocal lessons to ages 11
and up, performance skills and
beginner piano lessons at the studio as
well.
Kristie Frazier discovered Pilates while
trying to recover from a hip injury she
suffered serving in the U.S. Navy.
“The minute I found Pilates, my life
changed forever.” What she truly loves
about Pilates is that everyone can do
it, regardless of their age, gender or
fitness level. Her mission is to share
