We offer the best of both worlds at Pilates Punx! We have both Classical Pilates as well as Contemporary Pilates, some instructors who specialize in one style or others who can teach both!
Our certification program is a Classical Pilates program as we believe that it is important for teachers to learn the building blocks before they stray.
Whether Classical or Contemporary, the best thing about Pilates is that there are modifications for EVERYTHING – so we can help you find what works best for your body!
:: There are two schools of thought when it comes to Pilates, Classical (the system of exercises that Joseph Pilates invented, which he called Contrology) and Contemporary (a more modern spin on the original set of exercises.)  Classical Pilates will be a slower-paced class with a set regimented order with more focus on the building blocks of Pilates, set up and alignment, and proper form for a few slower reps.  Contemporary Pilates will have a little bit more of a quick pace, a flow around the reformer, and no two classes will be the same.
:: Deciding which class for you is a matter of preference.  We recommend trying them all and seeing what works for you.  Classical Pilates is great for getting the form and precision in, it’s great for all clients, but especially anyone with injuries, anyone who’s using Pilates for Physical Therapy reasons, etc.  Contemporary Pilates is great for folks who want to feel that burn, get their body sweating, that just don’t have the patience for a slow burn.
:: Bottom line: It’s all good for you, come in and see what you like the most!
