Why Pilates at ALTA?
Pilates is a method of exercise and controlled movement designed to stretch, strengthen and balance the body. Joseph H. Pilates, a German-born athlete, developed his innovative approach that combines Eastern and Western philosophies of mental and physical harmony.
How Pilates is Different
The Pilates Studio at ALTA is owned and operated by licensed physical therapists- medical professionals who are recognized movement and exercise specialists. Our employees are physical therapists trained in both fitness and rehabilitative Pilates. Our private sessions and classes are open to everyone in the community.
For physical therapy patients, ALTA has a team approach to treatment, and it is a key to our success. For example, if a patient is receiving physical therapy treatment sessions, he/she can benefit by doing Pilates concurrently to speed the healing process. After physical therapy is no longer needed, Pilates helps maintain one’s goals.
How can Pilates Help?
When practiced faithfully, Pilates yields numerous benefits. The focused breathing alone helps increase lung capacity and improve circulation. You will naturally develop a deeper appreciation for the way your body was designed to move. You will be stronger, with better balance and posture. As posture improves, so does confidence.
How do I get Started?
You can sign up for our Fundamental Class, Mondays at noon, to get accustomed to the Pilates Reformer. These classes are usually smaller, so you can receive more individualized instruction as you learn exercises. Once you master the Fundamentals class, our instructor can recommend a great next step for you to continue your Pilates journey.
Sometimes, people feel that a few individual Pilates lessons are helpful in learning the basic principles of Pilates. Your Pilates PT may also prescribe you a home exercise program that will complement the Pilates Reformer to help you continue independently. You may join a number of Pilates class once you master the basics, which we offer at different levels.
