Evolve Pilates

I'm finishing my fourth month as a member at Club Pilates Belmar. My goal is three classes a week, sometimes I fit in four. As yet, I've only done one private class, but I plan to start adding a private lesson once a month starting in August. The trainers are fantastic... they are all patient and positive and work very hard to help us learn the Pilates fundamentals. Each class simply flies by, and each class is different and challenging. My trainers have been Samantha, Mel, Jenn, Kory, Carly, Shelly, Shelley, Carly and Sara. They are all great. And...as a senior...I was really apprehensive on whether or not I'd be able to even do Pilates. No worries...it all happened magically and with time I'm improving and enjoying Pilates more with every class.

I'm through the first month of my 8week package and I already feel stronger! I had a clavical injury in November 2016 and I didn't quite have full range of motion. I can now lift my arm straight up and even cross it behind my head a bit. The proof is right there.... I can't wait to continue to get stronger! I can't believe it took me this long to find a workout I love and truly works.

I started doing private lessons with Chandra as a supplement to the PT I was doing for a shoulder injury. Chandra has been great to work with and I have learned so much about proper form. She has worked with me from when I could barely do a thing with my arm to now, when I actually can do a Flow 1 class. Getting ready to move up to Flow 1.5 in the next couple weeks. Club Pilates is a great place!

Club Pilates is the best gift I have given myself this year. Stronger core, better posture, improved leg strength and no more back problems are just a few of the reasons this form of exercise rocks! And, as for my home club, every person who works there is just awesome. Always a smile and hello from Allie or Melissa at the desk and every instructor (Kory, Melissa, Shelly H, Shelly D, Cristi and manager Samantha) excels in teaching and guiding you to get the most from your workout.
