We make your experience at Superior Pilates the very highest quality. From a private change room at the start – to a Pilates program designed just for your body – to a luxurious rain-head and steam shower at the finish. Pilates is for stretch, strength and control. It works your powerhouse – stomach, lower back and hips – to strengthen, lengthen and slim. Joseph Pilates called his method Contrology, because he believed his method uses the mind to control the muscles. The program focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and are essential for providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles. Joseph Pilates said, “In ten sessions you’ll feel better, in twenty you’ll look better and in thirty you’ll have a whole new body.” Pilates is called the art of control. This means the mind controls the body. You can gain strength, control of your body, coordination, suppleness, natural grace, muscular power, endurance, proper alignment and improved posture. It has been used by dancers for years to gain long, lean muscles without bulk. At Superior Pilates, you will work only on the world’s best Pilates equipment – Gratz. Gratz is a seventy-year-old manufacturing company that continues to create the apparatus chosen by both Joseph Pilates and Romana Kryzanowska, his protégé and current head of True Pilates in New York.
