Pilates

WCAC is currently the only club in Medina County offering comprehensive Pilates instruction. Our newly remodeled studio includes two reformer 1/2 Cadillacs from Balanced Body, as well as two Pilates chairs, and other small pieces of equipment.

What is Pilates?

Pilates was created about a century ago by Joseph H. Pilates, a German athlete. He referred to it as "contrology - gaining mastery of the mind over complete control of the body." The goal is perfection of flowing movement in coordination with breath. You will improve strength, coordination, balance, and posture while learning to move most efficiently.

This unique method of exercise has a mat component; often integrating small pieces of equipment such as thera-bands, balls, rings, or towels, but traditional Pilates also includes several large pieces of equipment. Your membership includes mat classes, but like personal training, there is a fee for equipment instruction. Both private and semi-private instruction is available.

New Classes Added!

WCAC has added new Pilates mat classes to the schedule. As with all fitness classes, these classes are included in the cost of membership in WCAC. Beginning Jan. 20 2009, the Pilates mat classes will be available for a fee to non-members. These classes are mat based and will often include the use of small props and equipment such as foam rollers, balls (large and small), bands, rings weights etc. Lengthen, strengthen and tone your muscles while improving posture and alignment. All equipment is provided. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a mat.
