Helpful Tips and Strategies
This program provides helpful tips and strategies to incorporate nutrition and physical activity into your lifestyle, while also addressing motivation, obstacles and pitfalls that make losing weight, and keeping it off, such a challenge.
Your Support Network
A weekly, group-based one-hour meeting provides a supportive network of others working on similar goals to help when the going gets tough and to celebrate successes along the way.
Pilates Reformer
Reformer Pilates is done using the Pilates reformer machine and is generally more intense and more dynamic than mat based Pilates as it adds resistance to the Pilates exercises via the use of the springs which form part of the machine.
The reformer offers all the benefits of Pilates including overall strength, flexibility, coordination and balance. These things, in turn, lead to daily life improvements like better posture, graceful and efficient movement, and for many, relief from pain associated with physical imbalances such as back pain.
