When you first arrive at Thrive Pilates, you will come into the warm, inviting waiting area where you can leave your coat, shoes, etc. on a shelf or hang them on a hook. If the class before yours is done, you're welcome to go into the studio, find a reformer, and get settled in for class. We have 5 reformers and stability chairs, so class size doesn't exceed 5 students. That means, even in a full class, you will receive lots of attention!
Classes run 50 minutes and begin with a warm-up of stretching and breathing. Workouts vary to keep things interesting. We try to incorporate all the big muscle groups into each workout while focusing on building strength and increasing flexibility.
We also make sure we move in flexion, extension, and lateral flexion, and add rotation to keep our bodies mobile and maintain a good range of motion in everyday movement. You will be reminded to breathe properly and, of course, have fun!
The Pilates reformer is a wonderful way to do all these things, and we look forward to seeing you in class at Thrive Pilates in Sioux Falls, SD.
