Joseph Pilates developed his method back in the early 1900's and called it "the Art of Contrology" - using the mind to control the muscles. The exercises focus on developing the "core" muscle groups of the abdomen, back and buttocks - the powerhouse. Some of the main benefits of doing Pilates exercises are that you will become stronger, longer, leaner and able to do anything with more grace and ease.

I had my first pilates experience yesterday. I felt welcomed the moment I walked into the studio by Carmela. It was pretty easy to pick me out because I was the only guy but at no stage did I feel that way. Quite honestly, I was also so busy with the routine that the time flew by.
Carmela took me thru the basics and helped me understand what I needed to do for each exercise. For those who have never tried pilates, please try it. Some of the exercises identified some areas of my body that need some serious work! That being said, she was clear on making sure that my form was correct and when I

Leslie is amazing! She takes the time to make sure that I am comfortable not in pain and learning some thing. I real appreciate the step-by-step and thoughtful way she approaches instruction. The facility has lots of space and plenty of machines and room to keep us safe social distance.
Highly recommend for the beginner or expert!

I am so impressed by this studio! The instructors are wonderful and incredibly knowledgable. The studio is beautiful, clean and has top of the line Gratz equipment. Leslie, the owner, is a sweetheart and has done a wonderful job with the studio. If you are looking for traditional classical Pilates with professional and highly educated instructors, then I recommend you try out Mercer Island Pilates.
