Swan Dive is a community that promotes the evolution and growth of the body, mind, and spirit through Pilates education and caring service. Pilates is a method of exercise that helps you consistently move better and feel better in your life by emphasizing proper postural alignment, strengthening your core, and improving your balance.
Pilates is named for its creator, Joseph Pilates, who developed the method in the 1920s. Within a Pilates routine, you will be doing exercises that will stretch you, increase your flexibility as well as promote core strength and stability, muscle control, and endurance. Pilates is instrumental in pre- or post-surgery and most definitely in physical rehabilitation.

I’ve been working with Wendy for 7 years. She helped me build strength, balance, and proper movement. My plantar fasciitis left me for good! Then my chronic neck pain got much better. Also, she does a great job explaining as much as I want to understand and is a delight to work with. I highly recommend Swan Dive Pilates.

Fantastic studio and instructor. I had never tried Pilates before but found Swan Dive online and decided to try private lessons since it was near my home. Susie was amazing - she was very clear in teaching me the foundations of Pilates and the purpose of each move, and each session has gotten progressively more challenging. At this point I’m absolutely addicted and go twice a week!

Swan Dive is one of my HAPPY PLACES! The staff is friendly, the trainers are knowledgeable, & the workouts strengthen and are thorough. I had 2 back surgeries previously, and their Pilates sessions have improved my balance, my core strength, and made me more aware of the impact of muscle & body alignment on my overall health.

Wonderful experience at the studio. I worked with Kristin. She was great! Very attentive took time to understand my needs and goals. My hip pain was gone after one session! The studio itself is well laid out and has all the equipment you need . Do not hesitate to stop in and give it a try no matter what you fitness level!

I found Swan Dive a little over a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Each instructor will take the time to get to know you, to customize exercises and workouts to fit your needs...even in the classes! They listen, care and are so knowledgeable. They work at your level to help you gain strength, flexibility and whatever other fitness goals you might have. Give it a try, you’ll see.

Swan Dive offers a warm and inviting atmosphere while educating you on the benefits of Pilates and exercise in general. I opted for shared lessons with a girlfriend. Julie was our instructor. While teaching our bodies to stretch and tone, we had fun and the time passed enjoyably. I highly recommend Swan Dive to anyone looking to improve their flexibility, tone and well being!!

I have been working with the team at Swan Dive since they opened. As an injury-prone runner, I appreciate their willing to listen and customize my workouts to help keep my core strong and the injuries away! These ladies are so knowledgeable about Pilates, wellness and beyond. They want to get you and your body to a happy, balanced and strong place.
