We’ll be closed Wednesday November 25 and will re-open Monday November 30. Meantime, enjoy the holiday.

Take lots of long walks.
Enjoy some soothing tea.
Drink water.
And be grateful.

I understand. When you’re ready to work out, or try something new, you want to get started before all that good gumption goes away. I love that energy. Let’s save it for the cardio workout, or that long weekend hike at Owls Roost.

Meantime, before you get started with pilates or personal training, let’s talk. The reason? I want to know more about what your body needs to get where it’s going with grace and ease. That’s why I offer a consultation to my clients before we begin training. One 15 minute conversation can prevent the frustration or injury that often leads to people giving up on their goals, or stopping a new exercise plan. And that truly is a tragic waste of all that good energy people have at the beginning.

Remember that piece of advice the magazines always suggest? Talk to your doctor before beginning a new exercise. It’s still a good piece of advice. Mostly because your doctor will suggest something that best suits your body and ability.

This consultation doesn’t replace a talk with your doctor. I do, however, take a similar approach: To help you find a class that fits your body and your ability so you stay motivated.

The consultation isn’t meant to slow down all that energy you might have for getting started again, or trying something new. In my experience, clients who participate with the consultation are more consistent, and in the end, achieve their goals, as well as discover new ones.

I look forward to talking with you some more about it.

For consultations, the first 15 minutes are free. That’s plenty of time to discover what pilates class might work for you. Beyond that time, however, if you find that you’d like to discuss more options or learn more about the variety of approaches here–such as Muscle Activation Techniques or personal training–the consultation cost is $25 for 30 minutes.
