 Curious about Pilates?
There's a whole lot more to Pilates than a DVD or videotape...
it's more than simple regimented mat or equipment exercises.
Pilates is a holistic approach to fitness with potentially life changing effects.
Give us a call or an email and let's schedule our first meeting.

We provide a complementary assessment where we can discuss your health & fitness goals and current and/or former health issues... and plan an initial course of action for your first six or twelve sessions.

Each workout is tailored specifically to your current physical condition and geared to help you achieve your personal fitness goals.

 

We have clients who are recovering from injuries, have chronic physical conditions they've learned to live with, athletes in training, and other people who just want to stay healthy and be in shape to live life to the fullest.

 

Whatever your goals are, we can tailor a program that will work for you!

 

Here at Apex Pilates Studio, we feature  a warm and inviting atmosphere for you to get away from work pressures and allow you to focus on yourself!

 

There are several mirrors enabling you to watch as you work out ensuring proper form, but our clients say the studio looks like a Spa and not a gym. (thank you!)
