New door!!!! (and update)

The Pilates Club entrance

We finally started construction on our new front porch!!  Up until now, we've been sharing the front door with the upstairs business, but when the porch is complete, we'll have our own side door right into the studio!

Training is going very well.  We've both passed the 200 hour mark!!!  We're a third of the way there!!  Our original training was only 200 hours ...  the Power Pilates program is much more comprehensive.  We're far enough into the program now that we're apprenticing at the training studio (Body Mind Balance) in addition to teaching at The Pilates Club.

We have learned so much about movement, the body, Joseph Pilates' original work, various apparatus, special needs, etc.  We're excited to be able to bring to you all that we've learned at your level, and taking into account your needs and goals.  We do not have a cookie-cutter approach like most group reformer classes do.  We work you at your own personal level.  So if you're advanced, we can offer you a challenging workout.  If you're a new beginner with some kind of special need (injury, etc.), we can offer you a challenging workout at your level taking your special need into consideration.  It's all about personal attention.  That's what sets us apart.

For the month of January we have a SPECIAL!!!  Refer a friend who purchases an initial consulation package and we'll give you a free session.

Studio pets

Practiced on my boyfriend and brought my little pocket parrot along. The little guy gets mad at me when I'm not around, so I stopped by my place and picked him up on the way to The Pilates Club. He sat so still and just watched quite contently. You could barely see him perched on the shelves.

The only thing that would have made it better was if I could dress him up in Halloween costumes and fall sweaters like Julie does for her studio pugs, Rosie and Mogley!

New studio!! More training!!

It's a very exciting time for us right now. Morgan and I are opening a new studio THIS WEEK!! What a journey it has been the past few months! There's a lot more to setting up a business than we thought, but now, we're ready to go!!  We are located in old downtown Mason, Ohio in a beautiful victorian house right in the middle of everything!

We have been teaching for a couple years now at a studio that provides group reformer classes and have thoroughly enjoyed it.  What we have learned by teaching there is that we both really prefer to teach one or two people at a time instead of groups so we can guide a person into a deeper workout.  With only one or two people we can really help them improve their form so they can exceed their own goals.  It's amazing how strong a body is able to become.  We are both stronger from personal pilates training than we ever thought we'd be.

In addition to opening our studio this week, we also begin comprehensive classical training with Power Pilates here in Cincinnati.  We both already have a 200 hour certification in contemporary pilates but have developed a passion for Joseph Pilates original vision and are looking forward to learning more.

It's a really exciting time for us and we're happy to be sharing it with you.  We look forward to sharing updates in our training and the progress in our business with you!  Thank you for visiting our blog!
