What Makes A Pilates Practice So Exceptional

A Pilates Practice is the most exclusive, independently owned full apparatus pilates studio in Denver. A premier studio, Mary Liz provides the very best equipment to train her clientele. A Pilates Practice is the first Pilates studio in the Denver Metro Area to introduce the Reformer/Half Trapeze Table in class settings. With its' superior design, this ultimate piece of Pilates apparatus combines the Studio Reformer with the essential elements of the Trapeze Table (Cadillac), and offers several advantages over similar equipment. The highest quality apparatus of its kind, it maximizes performance and versatility in repertoire, accompanied by exceptional results. The Reformer/Half Trapeze Table adds a whole new dimension to your Pilates workouts. There are literally hundreds of exercises that can be done with this single apparatus. Mat Pilates, standing Pilates, the complete Reformer repertoire, including most of the Trapeze Table or Cadillac repertoire. But more importantly, there is a whole new Pilates technique called "Integrated Training" - repertoire specifically designed for the Reformer/Half Trapeze Table that combines the Tower of the Trapeze Table with the moving carriage of the Reformer. The springs of the Reformer/Half Trapeze Table integrate core control with extremity strength. While the springs of the Reformer help articulate, stretch and stabilize the spine, the springs of the Tower enhance physical integration and refine awareness of eccentric muscle control. The complexity and diversity of this apparatus is eccentric conditioning at its best!

In addition to this unparalleled piece of apparatus, and because clients at A Pilates Practice have a healthy zest for body conditioning, our group class program highlights the use of the Ladder Barrel and the Combo Chair. Both essential pieces of apparatus designed for core conditioning and to increase flexibility, the Ladder Barrel and Combo Chair align and mobilize the spine, developing strength, balance and control. Both apparatus offer a series of multidimensional exercises that challenge the pure Pilates enthusiast.

Because performing the Pilates Mat work is an essential part of the Pilates practice, our thick cushioned floor mats with non-skid feet are ideal and protect the spine.

To top it all off, all settings are taught with authenticity & clarity and emphasize following the basic principles of form and function as dictated by the Joseph Pilates classic system. A Pilates Practice's distinctive approach varies in repertoire and constantly challenges our clientele - offering a challenging, full-body workout .
