FitLinxx® Orientations

‌Our FitLinxx® Program delivers consistent feedback and encouragement making exercising more confidant, enthusiastic and motivated from the beginning of their first workout.
The interactive “coaching” that FitLinxx® provides ensures members proper form at every session, which in turn leads to better physical results. Together, improved mental motivation and proper exercise form give new exercisers a much higher prospect of locking in the new lifestyle they seek, and staying with their fitness programs long-term.

Pilates

‌The main focus of Pilates is the core postural muscles, the center of the body, the “Powerhouse”. The equipment used in class, the Allegro Reformer, uses springs, straps and a moving carriage to provide for a variety of exercises to create spatial and body awareness. Believing in and following the Pilates method will change the way you look and feel.

• Improve overall muscle strength, flexibility, stability, balance, coordination and concentration

• Increase internal and core strength: abdominal and back strength

• Improve posture and alignment: stand up straight

• Increase body awareness: movement becomes controlled and responsive

• Lengthen bulky muscles

Pilates is ideal for cross-training purposes as it will help create a better understanding of posture and how it relates to all forms of exercise. When Pilates is practiced on a regular basis, it encompasses all aspects of fitness, such as strength, flexibility, coordination, cardiovascular, motor skills and relaxation. “Not mind or body but mind AND body.”–Joseph Pilates
