What results can I expect?

“Physical fitness can neither be achieved by wishful thinking nor outright purchase.” –Joseph Pilates

·      As recommended by Joseph Pilates, if the Contrology exercises are regular performed 4x a week for 3 months, your body will change. You will see an increase in muscle tone, an improvement in posture, a lengthening and leaning out of body shape, and an increased mastery of mind over body and a lesser dependence on reflexes to control the movement of your body.

“In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 sessions you will see the difference, in 30 sessions you will have a whole new body.” – Joseph Pilates
