• Why Pride Physique?

Pride Physique is a virtual studio and noticeably different from other Pilates studios in that we work with one person at a time, or have small (less than 10) group sessions. We are committed to providing individualized, high quality care, so you not only continue healing from your current/past injury or health condition, but are empowered to maintain your health and fitness once discharged from physical therapy/chiropractic care. We are also well-versed in communicating with other members of your healthcare team, making your care more integrated and effective.

• Can Pilates help ME?

No matter your age, level of fitness, or medical history, Pilates can be an effective form of exercise for EVERYONE! Pilates exercises and equipment are extremely versatile and can be adapted to meet your individual needs. Whether you’re looking for a challenging workout, stress relief, pain management, or recovering from an injury, Pilates has something to offer you. We are the best at working with complex physical cases with our two trained Doctors of Physical Therapy on staff, as well as highly qualified rehabilitation based Pilates instructors.

• How do the virtual sessions work?

  With Pride Physique, all of your sessions will be accessed through Zoom after you’ve booked an appointment/class. Your confirmation email gives you the link for your session, as well as the opportunity to add to your google/iCal/outlook calendar. Our Zoom sessions open up approximately 10 minutes prior to give everyone a chance to sign in and test video/audio. Once the class begins, the only image on your screen is the “demo” student (another instructor), so no one else is watching your session except the instructor teaching. Our instructors are watching the participants only, as to not miss any movements of our students that may be unsafe or harmful. Our intro package includes time to explain the technology thoroughly, and our client ambassador is always on hand to troubleshoot or answer any questions.

• Can I do Pilates if I’m pregnant?

Yes! Multiple studies have shown Pilates to be a safe, and very effective form of exercise for pregnant and post-partum women. Many Pilates exercises are known to strengthen the muscles of the low back, abdominals, and pelvic floor. Improving the function of these muscle groups helps women not only maintain their fitness, but may prevent some secondary complications associated with pregnancy. Modifications will be made to your program throughout the duration of your pregnancy in order to ensure the safety of both you and your baby.  Dr. Theresa has maintained her Pilates practice through 3 pregnancies, so we have first hand experience backing us up.                                 

        *As with other forms of exercise, it is recommended you consult with your physician prior to starting Pilates if you are currently pregnant.*

• What should I wear?

For Pilates sessions and movement workshops, be sure to have comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict your movements. We ask that men wear biker shorts under looser fitting workout/basketball shorts.
