PILATES PROGRAMS
 

What’s the difference between Pilates on the mat and Pilates on and machines?
Spring loaded Pilates machines assist when you are exercising. In a Pilates Mat class you use your own core strength to do the exercises, which can be more challenging than working on the machines.

If I’ve never been on a Pilates machine is it required that I take private session before joining a group class?
Private sessions are recommended but not required.  

What should I wear when I do Pilates?
Dress as you would for a yoga class or gym workout. Grip sock sto keep your from slipping and for sanitary purposes are recommended.

Can I do Pilates when I’m pregnant?
Yes. Pilates is a safe, strengthening exercise program appropriate to practice during pregnancy.

Can I do Pilates as physical therapy?
Pilates is an excellent rehabilitation method and therapeutic for many chronic physical ailments and conditions.  We do not accept health insurance as payment.

Will I lose weight doing Pilates?
Pilates exercises tone and sculpt the body, but you may not lose weight. You may actually gain a couple of pounds, because muscle is denser and therefore heavier in weight than fat. 

Is Pilates a cardio exercise?
The only truly cardio Pilates workout incorporates exercises using the Pilates jump board. Jump boards are available some locations when you train with Tannis.

Does Pilates build bone density?
Yes, the exercises are weight baring and do build bone density.

Does Pilates help with back and joint pain?
Yes, Pilates helps with both of these by mobilizing the spine and all the joints.  Better alignment and core strength helps alleviate spine and joint issues.
