Pilates Studio

The Pilates Studio at Franco's

Tiger Woods, Martina Navratilova, Madonna, Danny Glover, the San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals and Oprah...what do all these folks have in common?
They all do Pilates!

All too often we hear people say, "Pilates is stretching" or "If I hurt myself, I'll try Pilates". Both are positive, correct statements. But there is so much more to the workout that some people may not know. Pilates exercise is a program designed to stretch, strengthen and balance the body. Instead of isolating muscles, the whole body is trained as a unit, integrating the upper and lower extremities through a solid core, to create a whole, strong and lean body. This intelligent method of training rewards you with flatter abdominals, healthy posture and strength from the inside out. Many students claim that a Pilates workout leaves them feeling refreshed and rejuvenated - is your current workout doing that for you?

Now is the perfect time to discover, or rediscover, what the Pilates Method of training can offer you in our studio. Come experience reformer training, our small apparatus, knowledgeable instructors and personalized programming for yourself!
