About the Studio
Who We Are
Meridian Pilates Studio is known for its individualized approach to working with each client who comes in. We take this distinction seriously: our friendly desk staff know our clients personally and make it easy to deal with special situations and requests. Our instructors are highly skilled and trained to work with clients of varying needs.
Our Foundation and Philosophy
At Meridian Pilates Studio, our teaching philosophy is based on the original system of work as developed by Joseph H. Pilates.
Pilates originally termed his system of exercises "Contrology", describing the basic purpose of the method, which was to achieve "complete coordination of body, mind and spirit". "Contrology " has since come to be known simply as Pilates, and has gained worldwide recognition as an efficient method for promoting physical fitness.
Equipment and Apparatus
At Meridian Pilates we are fully equipped with Reformers, Mats, Trapeze Table, Towers, Ladder Barrel, Chairs, Small Barrels and other apparatus. These are all specific pieces of equipment that were invented by Joseph Pilates, and have been tweaked over the years.
All of the instructors at Meridian Pilates Studio have completed comprehensive training programs that enable them to teach and utilize all of the equipment. They also keep up a regular practice of Pilates exercises for their own development. Several of our teachers are experienced in dealing with rehabilitation of many types as well as pre- and post-natal work.
