Erichsen Pilates, Ottawa, ON

Pilates
Pilates works for all ages, all fitness levels. Its elegance, simplicity and clarity are a refreshing approach to fitness that will change how you go about your life. Pilates teaches awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, helps you release tight, overworked muscles and strengthen weaker ones. It is a series of slow, precise, low-impact movements that strengthen and make you more aware of maintaining your body mechanics. Pilates is not an aerobic exercise, rather a sequence of movements similar to a yoga workout effort.
The Mat
You can achieve great results without complicated equipment – just you, a mat, and the right guidance. You will be guided through a mat workout – a series of slow, precise and low-impact exercises that help you achieve balance and avoid poor postural habits. Through mat-work, you can learn simple tools for maintaining and increasing your core body strength and flexibility which goes a long way to preventing injury.
The Reformer
Take Pilates to a new level of challenge with the Reformer. The Reformer builds on mat- work, using adjustable pulleys and a sliding platform to address every muscle group. The Reformer stabilizes your core while strengthening your lower and upper body.
The V2Max
The V2Max is the latest addition to the Pilates family. This new variation on the Reformer adds an innovative vertical frame pulley system to offer you an even wider range of exercise options.
The Stability Chair
The Stability Chair helps rebalance muscles and provides a full-body workout. It also facilitates those who need to stay in a seated or upright position. This workout is ideal for clients new to Pilates and can be incorporated into a workout for the advanced client.
