Uncle Joe's Pilates at Home? Sure!

Let's face it, getting in shape is real work. And staying in shape can be even harder. That's something that requires real determination and scheduling skills. Making it to class on a regular basis can be the real test of a persons will to  keep that flat stomach you worked so hard for!  In spite of your best efforts, sometimes life just gets in the way. The child that you have to stay home with because of illness, the last minute business trip to New York, the cable guy who was supposed to be there at 9 a.m, but still hasn't shown up at 4 p.m!

 
It's for reasons like this that we are so often asked to produce a dvd or cd that takes a person through a typical mat class at Uncle Joe's. While we're not opposed to putting something like that together, we think we might have a better idea.
 
Right now we are looking into streaming our classes live, so that you can participate along with our other students, but in the comfort of your own home (or friends home, or hotel room, or . . . you get the picture).
 
We're just in the formative stages of getting this project off the ground, so if you have any comments or suggestions, let us know. We already have the best classes, so we want to put together the best site to showcase them!
 
We'll keep you posted as things progress!
New to Pilates Mat? Or Maybe You Just Need a Refresher?

Next Start Date . . . Tuesday, May 14th


Then the Mat Essentials worshop series is the place for you!

 

Mat Essentials consists of 10 classes (held twice a week for five weeks).

 

Your first class will consist of learning the 'language' of Pilates (scoop, C-curve, wrap, etc.) and cover the basic mat system.

 

But this is not a light workout! Oh, no.

 

You will quickly progress through to the intermediate system, learning new exercises and techniques every week to push your body to it's limits. You will learn why people can do Pilates for years and STILL be challenged by it's movements!

 

If you're in decent physical condition (that means no bad backs, bad knees, bad shoulders, bad hips) and have a disciplined mind, Pilates and the Mat Essentials will be a great fit for you. Sign up today for this rewarding workout experience!

 

Our next series is scheduled to start Tuesdays/Thursdays at 6:45pm on May 14th

Article:  Finding A Workout
by Lisa Johnson
 

I stood there in the 80s in my leotard over tights and my leg warmers and flexed and sweated with everyone else.  I jumped right on the Spinning bandwagon, become certified to teach and leading bodies all over Boston in sweatfests.  Now all I hear about is Barre for the booty and HIIT workouts for metabolism.  We don’t need to find a workout, we just need to stand there and wait for it to mow us over.

Because when it comes to fitness we are just like lemmings.  We do what everybody else is doing.

 
 

So You're Looking for Group Sessions . . .

If you're looking for group sessions on the Pilates apparatus, look no further!

 
If you already know the full, advanced mat, you can join any of our Tower Classes. You'll just need to attend the Tower Orientation class to familiarize yourself with safety and setup of the Tower. Then, you're ready to go!
 
If you'd like to work on the reformer, wunda chair, cadillac, guillotine, etcetera, let's talk....
 
If you're an absolute beginner, you'll need some private sessions to get you familiar with the method and the use of the apparatus. If you have some experience, just schedule an evaluation. Don't be nervous, it's just a private session to determine your skill level and the best group to put you with.
 
We're here to make sure you get the most out of your workouts with us. We know you want results and we're here to make sure you get them!
