Pilates

Our classes are designed with the goal of ease of functional movement for each person’s individual ability level.

Each class is limited to 8 students to ensure that you will receive personal attention in a supportive group environment. We also offer private and duet sessions by appointment. Our PRI Pilates classes were developed by the studio’s founder, Donna Parise Byrne PT PRC NCPT. At Pilates Central Wellness, we integrate the concepts of the Postural Restoration Institute with the principles of Joseph Pilates. Neurologically, physiologically and habitually, the human body is asymmetrical. We appreciate the normal asymmetry of the human body, especially the diaphragm and its impact on the body and the predictable patterns the asymmetry dictates.

Classes are offered on the Allegro Reformer, the EXO Chair and with the jump board. We also have a Recorded PRI Pilates class subscription, with unlimited access to our full recorded class library.

Our instructors are available for Private, Duet, and Private Small Group Pilates sessions using the reformer, EXO chair, Trapeze table and more. Contact us to schedule your private session.

*Please Note. We have a 24 hour cancellation policy for all reformer classes and private reformer sessions.

Reformer Pilates

At Pilates Central Wellness, we use spring driven machines to provide challenging, low-impact strengthening exercise. Emphasis is placed on the body’s core musculature with a focus on proper form, safety and alignment.

For group classes, we require all first-time Reformer Pilates and Equipment Class clients to complete an Introduction prior to attending your first class at Pilates Central Wellness. After the Introduction, your instructor will either clear you for class or recommend further private sessions. We encourage all new clients to begin with one of our Intro Packages to set you up for success.
