Chicago Pilates Classes and more
"A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortions." --Joseph Pilates
Correctly executed and mastered to the point of subconscious reaction, these exercises will reflect grace and balance in your routine activities.”
Joseph H. Pilates, 1945
“ Return to Life Through Contrology"

pilates reformer repertoire with the energy of a group setting. This unique apparatus,
as well as the cadillac and wunda chair, will develop your body

Boot Camp Fitness
Boot camp workouts are efficient because you work your entire body-- heart and muscles--by going from one exercise to another. It is varied, fun and challenging. Up to 600 calories can be burned during a boot camp session, which is obviously going to facilitate weight loss. The workouts involve calisthenics like push-ups, jumping jacks, weights, Pilates abdominal work and other body weight exercises. The difference lies in the intensity; in boot camp, your challenge is to take your body to its limit. You work, you sweat and, best of all, you burn calories like crazy.
