Pilates in the Pines

I was looking for something to improve my overall fitness and strength, but I have had 4 knee surgeries so many of the traditional exercise programs do more damage than good. I heard that Pilates was good for recovery from injuries, and although I was a little skeptical I thought I’d give it a try. Pilates in the Pines is closest to my home, so I met with them to see if they could help.
Alana and Cathy are great. They are certified and have trained directly under the worlds leading Pilates instructors, so I knew they they were knowledgeable. They created a custom training plan for me and after a couple of weeks I definitely felt stronger and more flexible, without any additional pain in the ol’ knees.
They have a Power Plate machine, which at first I thought was going to be a joke, but when they told me that the Broncos train with these machines, i thought I’d give it a try. That thing kicks ass! What a workout.
I will keep going to Pilates in the Pines and continue to work with Alana and Cathy. If you are looking for a new training regiment that will strengthen your core and improve your flexibility, without high impact training, I would tell you to try Pilates. it’s been great for me!
