Progression

A Logical Progression

An Original Approach To Pilates Classes

Pilates North classes work with a leveled system, so if you are new to the studio you will start at an Introductory level and progress, as your skills and strength increase, to an Essential and then Intermediate levels. Our classes are small and progressive so clients see results because they are constantly moving forward and being challenged to go further with the exercises. We offer over 40 Pilates inspired classes a week to continually challenge all ranges of fitness levels. Pilates Classes combine core work with resistance training on Pilates Reformer & Chairs. Taught by certified instructors, the Pilates North philosophy is to provide personalized attention to our clients ensuring their fitness goals are being met in a safe, welcoming and fun environment.

Where do I Fit?

Where do I fit?

i am a newbie

If you are new to Pilates and are free from injury the best place to start is with one of our introductory Pilates classes. These classes start from basic principles and work progressively to prepare clients for more intermediate movements. You will leave the session with a good understanding of our verbal cuing, your body positioning and the introductory repertoire of Pilates exercises

i have done pilates

Great! The studio offers many intermediate level classes, and we would love you to join one. Before we can place you we will book you in for an assessment. This is a one on one session with an instructor where you will be led through an intermediate level workout. The instructor is looking for your ability to follow cuing and correction. After the assessment we will look for a class that fits your ability and challenge level.

i have injuries

Pilates is a great tool for re-balancing the body. If you have a “back issue” or are recovering from an injury we suggest taking an assessment session prior to joining a class. During the assessment you will be able to feel the movements and discuss your specific requirements.
A trainer can work on your specific goals and together you can decide if our classes make sense.

Victoria Marchisello Travel Addict I’ve been taking classes at Pilates North for over a year now and I couldn’t recommend it enough! The introduction class pack gave me a foundational understanding of how to properly move and breathe. People may think Pilates is easy but it requires an immense amount of both physical and mental strength. No matter what type of day I had - but especially on stressful days, I can always look forward to coming in to do intentional movement that makes me look and feel stronger and helps calm my mind... Likey Segal 50+ Translator/Medical Copy editor Pilates makes me feel energized. As my energy levels go up, my waist gets smaller and clothes fit better. I love how my body is increasingly challenged physically as well as the mind-body connection such challenges demand. Class sizes are ideal, and I enjoy the company of the instructors and my fellow Pilates enthusiasts. An extra bonus–I get quality “mummy & me” time with my university-aged daughter, who now, too, has embraced Pilates. Ariel Lando Pilates North has done so much for me since I began classes in the summer of 2007. At the time I was living an incredibly unhealthy lifestyle, with a focus on calorie counting instead of strengthening my body. Since classes began, I have felt my core muscles strengthen to an invariable degree, which helped me achieve new goals in both my equestrian and acrobatic endeavours. There is also an overwhelming sense of calm from the time I walk into the door and leave, for everyone is so welcoming and the classes always give me a few chuckles. ... Susan M Senior Legal Assistant I LOVE my Pilates class. I look forward to the class every week. I am often tired and stressed when I get to the class after working all day and I feel absolutely wonderful when I have finished. Lisa is an amazing instructor and I can really feel how much stronger I have become. I like being challenged and Lisa’s class does that. The studio itself is spotless and I can really see how much pride is taken with the studio as everything has a place. I like seeing all the updated equipment as well as all the extra classes offered. So once again …. I LOVE PILATES NORTH.. Stephanie Belmore I starting going to Pilates North back in 2010. I have tried different workouts and wasn't able to stick to any with conviction. I like that at Pilates North you sign up for a class at a specific day and time so that it becomes part of your routine. I also enjoy the attention the instructor gives each client with the smaller class sizes. The instructors really focus on form and movement so you know you are doing the exercises properly. Pilates North is a community and one that I truly enjoy being apart of. I recommend it to all my friends!
