Sundays off!

The only day during the week that I don't teach classes is Sunday. It is my official day off! I was looking forward to going for a looooong bike ride all week and it is RAINING! I think I may go out anyways and bike so fast I avoid the rain drops. It can be done. Two years ago I was biking on a wooded trail in town while it was raining and the bike shot out from underneath me. I was upset because my rim was all bent up...but I still rode it all the way home. That wasn't the most exciting story was it?

Anyways...off I go!!!

The Dance Experience has closed.

I just saw a note taped to the door of the Dance Experience that says, "Sorry for the inconvenience but The Dance Experience has closed". I know nothing more and this is a total surprise to me as well.

Music for Pilates...an art form.

Selecting music for my Pilates classes is always a pleasure. I have heard that some instructors don't even use music in their classes. I would go INSANE! Music elevates the experience and invigorates the mind and body to perform as one. Over the past few years of teaching I have made hundreds of mixes for Pilates classes and am still trying to form the "Perfect Mix". I don't know if it will ever happen...I have come very close a few times. As long as there is plenty of Enya, Enigma, Delerium, Bond, Moby and a sprinkling of Barenaked Ladies and Depeche Mode all will be right with the Pilates world.

The best song ever for Pilates is Kashmir by Bond. Next week I may change my mind about that...

Mr. Fitness in 2008!

January through the end of March was a CRAZY time for Mr. Fitness LLC! Over those 3 months I personally taught 216 group fitness classes (Pilates Matwork, Hatha Yoga, Yogalates and Spinning) all over Central Florida. Whew! This past week has been Spring Break so my schedule was slightly lighter...only 10 classes!

I could not ask for a more rewarding and exciting profession. I have the opportunity to work with individuals, small groups (5-10 people) and large groups (11-50+ people) and show them ways to improve their physical, mental and spiritual selves. Every single class has been built up over the past couple years into something extraordinary. Thousands of people have attended my classes and my turnover rate is around 95%. This is only the beginning for Mr. Fitness LLC.

Every class is unique. Every class is an opportunity. Every class is a gift.

Adding another Pilates class at Gold's Gym!

I am adding another Pilates class to my Golds Gym Dr. Phillips schedule. The class is Fridays at 10:30 am and am still teaching my Tuesday, 10:30 am Pilates class as well. These classes have really taken off and I have created a very large, loyal following at this facility. This Golds is the top one in all of Southeast America so I am very proud to be there.

All the best,

2008 is off to a great start!

New Yoga class at The Artisan Park Clubhouse!

Hello to all interested in making their lives extraordinary...

I will be starting a Yoga class on Tuesday evenings at 7:10 pm at the Artisan Park Clubhouse starting Tuesday, January 29th! This class has been in the works for quite some time and I am very excited to bring it to all of you. Class will be held in the large room which will be perfect to create a soothing and calm space. Classes will go to 8:05 pm and cost only $5. A mat or towel will be required as well.

What is Yoga?
~Yoga balances mind and body via physical exercises/postures (asanas), controlled breathing, and the calming of the mind through relaxation and meditation. Yoga joins or yokes all parts of the human being and creates harmony at every level.

Benefits include: toning of all the muscles, increased flexibility, detoxes the body, greatly reduces stress, massages all organs of the body, improved focus, and brings the disparate aspects of the body, mind, and personality into balance.

Like all the other classes I teach yoga is open to people of ALL ages and fitness levels. I will make sure that everyone progresses at their own, individual level.

When the emotional and physical bodies become balanced, the result is real power and happiness. Class will begin with a warm-up, then progress into postures/poses and finish with a 10 minute meditation to calm and relax your entire being.

Joseph is the Man

Joseph Pilates was of course the founder of the most amazing exercise system known to man...the Pilates Method! There are Pilates classes that are set on machines called Reformers but these machines cost thousands of dollars and take up lots of space. I teach Pilates Matwork classes...all you need is a Pilates/Yoga mat. Matwork classes were the favorite of Mr. Pilates.

"Matwork teaches us that the Body is the finest and ONLY tool necessary for achieving physical fitness."
-Brooke Styler

So come and reawaken your body through movement and your mind through conscious thought!
