Private Classes

The instructor will customize the workout to meet your unique needs.

We recommend clients start with private classes before moving on to duets, trios or classes so that you can learn how to modify exercises – making them more accessible to you or more challenging – so that you can get the most out of your workout.

Duet Classes

2 people, one instructor. The instructor designs a workout to accommodate the needs of both you and your partner.

We recommend that you find a partner; however, occasionally we have been able to match clients. If interested in finding a partner, please leave your desired day and time AND fitness level with the front desk.

Mat Pilates

Theraband, Pilates Ring, Foam Roller, Bosu Stretches

A total body Pilates workout featuring classical Pilates Exercises with and without Pilates equipment on the Pilates mat. Whether you’re a Pilates beginner or a Pilates expert practitioner, Mat Pilates with materials will deliver a great Pilates workout. Mat Pilates with materials classes feature classical Pilates exercises performed on a Pilates mat, but spices up traditional Pilates workouts with the use of Pilates props such as the small ball, stretch band, Pilates ring, foam roller and Stretches. The variety in Mat Pilates with materials classes ensures that each Pilates workout provides a total body workout that strengthens the core, tones the hips and thighs, and flattens the abs.

Trio Classes

3 people, one instructor. Unless you have prior Pilates experience, you must have completed at least 10 privates before joining a trio

Combination of reformer, mat, Cadillac and chair used based on availability

Trios are not recommended for clients with injuries or special conditions.

Yoga Sessions

Yoga Sessions – Group & Private

So how are Pilates and Yoga different? Well, both systems have been categorized as mind-body fitness programs and both systems focus on the breath more specifically than other exercise methods. Beyond that, Pilates and Yoga are very different! The two systems were designed with different goals, and while practitioners will see increased strength and flexibility with both, each person needs to decide which is best for him/herself. As for Gerda Pilates, we enjoy both Pilates and Yoga, but obviously, lean a little more towards Pilates!

Barre Classes

Group Barre Classes with Gerda
This class flows fluidly with Ballet Barre work for a new twist on interval training. The class begins with arm and posture work, and then proceed to an interval training. Then move to the barre…. And just when you think your legs can’t take any more plies, you’ll be bouncing to the beat and flushing the lactic acid out of the muscles and throughout the body. As with all classes at Gerda Pilates, posture and form are important, and with Ballet Barre Hopping they are mutually reinforced throughout the class.

Jungle Sports

Jungle Sports & Sling Training
Sling training is a functional training method where you use two slings to exercise using your own body as the weight and resistance. In addition, you have a weight principle, which means that you can ease, or harden the exercise by just taking a step forward or backward.

Sling training has much in common with suspension training (e.g. TRX or Rip60), but an important difference is that suspension training (as defined by the TRX equipment) uses a one-point connection to the ceiling, whereas sling training uses a two-point connection.

Corealign

CoreAlign® (COMING SOON!)
CoreAlign® is unlike anything else you have tried. The fast paced exercises and flow will give you a cardio kick and challenge major muscle groups. The rhythmical, posture and balance enhancing exercises will remind you of the mind-body movements on the reformer. And the core exercises will test your strength in a totally unique way. Clients at all fitness levels feel the difference in posture and gait after one session. The CoreAlign® method stimulates core stability muscles to fire in perfect timing while performing challenging exercises, very deep stretches and core controlled aerobic training. The method is used for musculoskeletal rehabilitation, performance enhancement and as a regular sport for a healthy lifestyle.
