The Pilates (Puh-LAH-Teez) Method of Body Conditioning was developed by German born Joseph Pilates (1880-1967). Joseph was a sickly child suffering from rickets, asthma and rheumatic fever, who sought to regain his health through exercise and nutrition. Developing what he termed "The Art of Contrology", Joseph devised a system of movement geared towards improving strength, flexibility and muscular control.
He brought this unique method to New York and opened his first studio in 1926. There he worked with dancers, gymnasts and yes.the average person interested in improving their posture, balance and coordination while improving their overall health. There are countless benefits to using the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning.

Really like the place. Brand new, clean and well organized. You can easily book your sessions online. I've taken 3 months private course there mostly with Meghan, she's super nice and professional! I feel great after I finished each session. I've recommended the Pilates Loft to all my friends in town.

I am a big fan of the Pilates Loft. I had been looking for a place to do pilates in Orlando and noticed that there were not many. I was really happy that I found the Pilates Loft. It is a very nice and clean studio and the classes are small, usually around 5 or 6 people and no more than 8. The utilize both the tower and the mat. With the classes being small, the instructors can watch and make sure that you are doing all of the moves correctly. Although you are paying more than you would at a gym, it is completely worth it as the quality of instruction is that much better. You get a better deal

I have going to this Pilates Loft Studio for 3 and half yrs. i go twice a week for private lessons with Jen Omara the owner. This will reshape and whip your body into shape in the best way possible if you work hard,focus and are consistent. This is not a mere easy stretching session - this is an intense session of creating the best CORE and body you will ever have! Jen and her staff are highly educated and go through the Joseph Pilates training.

I've taken 2 private lessons and one group class at this studio and was thoroughly whipped each time. The Pilates Loft is a nice open and clean space with all of the spring-loaded torture machines for the pilates purists. The group classes are mostly focused around mat and tower work and last the full scheduled hour. If you can afford it, schedule a few private sessions before taking a group class to acclimate yourself to the workout. You're able to sign up online for the space-limited classes, which is a great perk.
The only drawback is the price; each class is $20 (less if you buy
