As a typical guy, I had been weightlifting and hitting the gym since high school. I would go through phases where I would lift hard and get big, only to be followed by the inevitable lag. I guess I never thought about my workout regimen, I just did it that way because I'd been doing it for so long. I went to Pilates by the Park about six years ago and it changed my entire body (life)! At first I thought it would be more of a spa or yoga-type experience but Laura quickly showed me that Pilates is actually a GREAT workout that is so much better for my body than just weight lifting. I feel flexible, strong and so balanced. I still lift weights once a week, which is a perfect complement to doing Pilates twice a week. I boxed for awhile and Pilates gave me the balance that kept me on my feet longer. I'm better at pick up football and soccer games because I can actually control my body in motion so much better. Pilates is a great addition to any guy's workout and the added flexibility and abdominal strength has been a tremendous benefit. If you want to be toned, lithe, limber and STRONG, then Pilates is king. Pilates by the Park is perfect for men and women and all the teachers there really know what their doing. Laura listens to me and tailors my workouts to get me where I wanna go.

Pros: Flexible scheduling, one on one attention, tailored workout for the individual

Cons: Not free

I began working with Laura (owner) at Pilates By The Park a few years ago. I showed up with the specific goal of wanting a dancer's body and with Laura's guidance, I achieved that goal and much more. My pilates trained body, good posture and the grace with which I now carry myself as a result of working with Laura has prompted many, including close friends to assume that I come from a dancing background. (Of course my lacking of any real talent is evident on the dance floor, but at least when I'm standing at the bar, I look good!) Laura has also taught me about nutrition and how to care for my body outside of class which has helped me to maintain my workout results. The unexpected benefit I have also received from class is feeling great. I used to keep a weekly chiropractor appointment for lower back and knee pain, but pilates has strengthened those muscles to the point of only needing periodic chiropractic adjustments. Laura and her staff are professional, knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. Taking pilates with Laura has been the most effective and fun workout experience I've ever had. I'm currently four months pregnant and pilates is keeping me healthy, strong and prepping me for an easier, graceful labor and delivery. Oh and my new goal is to match Brook Burke's stunning, post-baby body recovery. I'll let you know how it goes;0)

Pros: Professional trainers. Reasonably priced. Beautiful studio. Lots of free parking!

Cons: none
