Classes

Reformer

Classic Pilates at its best. This is the most popular piece of equipment for a reason. Its unique resistance properties, coupled with the gliding fluidity of the movements enable you to tone, align, balance… to REFORM your body. The fundamentals of form and breath are always addressed, but the choreography is always changing so the classes are never repetitive or boring. Leave each class feeling longer, taller and more centered than you ever imagined possible.

For those new to Pilates, a prerequisite for the Reformer Class is either private sessions or the Fundamentals Class which is an introductory class designed to ease you into the basic building blocks and vocabulary of Pilates.

Tower

Based on Joseph Pilates` earliest experiments with developing equipment, the Tower provides a versatile and challenging workout that intensifies the resistance principles used in the Reformer apparatus. Try this unique class for a different twist on a traditional Pilates session.

Circuit

Spend twenty minutes on each of three pieces of equipment that you rarely get to experience outside of a private session. The Chair, the Ladder Barrel and the Trapeze Table are fun and challenging apparatuses that allow you to put your Pilates practices into a completely different context, leading to better balance and integration

CoreAlign

One of the newest classes at Studio U, CoreAlign is designed to improve posture, balance and functional movement patterns by stimulating the core stability muscles to fire in perfect timing while performing challenging exercises, very deep stretches and core controlled aerobic training. This method of fitness is used for musculoskeletal rehabilitation, performance enhancement and as a basis for an overall strong body and healthy lifestyle.

Aerialates

For something completely different, Aerialates (created by one of StudioU`s former instructors) offers a new dimension to fitness, strength and body control by expanding upon standard Pilates exercises, challenging participants in ways previously unavailable. Thru the use of both trapeze and silk apparatus, Aerialates takes core strength training to a whole new high flying level

Jumpboard

Not for the faint of heart, or the weak of knee (seriously, this is a vigorous, aerobic workout that is not knee-friendly if you have any issues). But if you`re still reading this and want a fantastic workout that`s unlike any other (think cardio lying down…) give this class a whirl and you won`t be disappointed

Dealers Choice

As the name suggests, this is an anything goes, grab bag of a class. Reformer, Tower, Small Props, Cirque-It and Jumpboard are all potential elements of a Dealer`s Choice class. Round and round she goes and where she stops, nobody knows…
