Mansfield Life Studio: New Pilates classes

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:11:58 GMT

Hello fellow Lifetime Fitness Mansfield members!

My name is Nicole Webber, I am a new Pilates instructor here at LTF in Mansfield. I wanted to let everyone know that there have been some new Pilates reformer classes and times available to you that I encourage everyone to try. If you are new to the Pilate's method, I will offer you a free introductory class. You should send me a private message if you are interested and we can set up the day and class time you wish to try.

Pilate's is for everyone, men and women! It was created by a man, Joseph Hubertus Pilates. According to Mr. Pilates after 10 sessions you feel the difference, after 20 sessions you notice the difference, and after 30 sessions you have a completely new body! This is true, I can attest to it! Pilate's is a no impact method of exercise which means that it is great for even those who have injuries or need to rehab an injury.

My class times are as follows:

Tuesdays: 5:45- 6:45 pm and 7:00 - 8:00 pm

Thursdays: 5:45 - 6:45 pm and 7:00 - 8:00 pm

Saturdays: 8:45 - 9:45 am (mat class) and 10:00 - 11:00 am

All class times are for reformer except Sat. at 8:45

Beginners Yoga

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:56:10 GMT

I have looked at the Yoga descriptions and they all say intermediate. I have started meditation, listening to Yoga Nidra. However I have never done actual Yoga. What would be the best class to start out with?

Thanks!!!

Yoga-Vernon Hills: Would it be possible to add yoga and/or yoga/pilates fusion to a Tuesday or Wednesday morning at 9:15?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:04:55 GMT

In looking at the Vernon Hills current schedule we are not offering any classes on Tuesday or Thursday morning. The schedule would be more flexible for members if the club considered adding in Tuesday/Thursday mornings. Many thanks.
