CONTEMPORARY PILATES – BASED ON SCIENCE, NOT FADS.

Contemporary Pilates applies scientific research with practices in biomechanics, rehabilitation and athletic performance enhancement. Contemporary Pilates is based on the original work of Joseph Pilates  and maintains the original standard of precision and quality. We teach an updated form of the method developed to include  the most current knowledge about Fascia and functional movement  to meet the needs of the modern day body and lifestyle. Form and awareness at FitWise is not limited to the work that we do together in the studio, but additionally meant to help you develop more balanced patterns when you are out in the world.

OUR INSTRUCTORS ARE EXPERTS – KEY FACTOR IN HOW SUCCESSFUL YOU WILL BE
