Equipment
Pilates Springboard + TRX = CORE X
Our studio specializes in both personalized and small group dynamic Pilates classes, utilizing Pilates Springboard and TRX Suspension System equipment.
The Pilates Springboard
Core X uses the state of the art Springboard manufactured by Balanced Body Pilates. This unit is a wall attachment apparatus that utilizes springs for resistance training. There are varying levels of resistance so springs can be used appropriately for both arms and legs.
Exercises using the Springboard can be done lying down, seated, kneeling or standing. The stability of being on the floor makes for a safer workout while the rebound of the springs offer challenges for control and stability.
You can expect to feel your muscles working hard to create balance, length and strength. When you use the springs your muscles are under constant tension with no breaks, so stamina will increase and your muscles will surely shake for joy!
The TRX Straps
TRX stands for Total Body Resistance Exercise and was created in 1997 by Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick utilizing The TRX Suspension Trainer. This performance tool uses body weight and gravity to give an effective workout that is centered around the development of flexibility, strength and core stability.
In Core X classes, we incorporate TRX to compliment the benefits of Pilates. You can expect to improve balance, coordination, and control when performing these exercises.
The TRX system is a versatile, simple, and efficient tool that can assist anyone of any fitness level in getting a good workout while, feeling confident and secure.
This unique combination ensures a full-body, core-strengthening workout that is not only effective but also highly engaging for practitioners of all levels.
