Personal Trainer Overview
We are a fully-equipped, friendly, classical Pilates studio in West Ashley offering sessions by appointment or small group classes on a weekly schedule. Personalized attention, focus on form, alignment and technique
Training Philosophy
I believe trainers should insure that all clients are successful and safe. Fitness is for ANY body, but the same program won't work for EVERY body. Trainers need to not only assess, but prescribe, adapt and modify to best support their clients. I also believe trainers should instruct (as in teach) their clients about health, wellness, safety, body alignment, proper form, breathing, etc. Clients who are looking for a trainer to count their reps or who want to mentally "check out" during a work out will be disappointed. Clients looking for a positive, supportive, intelligent, and safe trainer to help achieve their goals will be thrilled.
