At my studio you will use original apparatus, as designed by Joseph Pilates, with skilled teachers to help you develop your body whether you are a tri-athlete or a beginner at exercise. At the Anthony Rabara studio for Pilates, our clients receive instruction that is derived from the purest form of the work - as Joseph Pilates and Romana Kryzanowska delivered the work to their clients and as I deliver the work to mine. We have group classes in mat work that are held on Saturdays, weekdays in mid-morning, and evenings. We offer private classes and semi-private classes with work on the spring-based equipment. The centerpiece of this spring-based equipment is called the Universal Reformer. There are a few hours in each week devoted to those who are rehabilitating or need special care. And, happily, there is a class for the expectant mother. Yes, Pilates can be gentle enough for even the pregnant woman. A doctor's release is appropriate in these two instances.
