classes, which are offered on a unique a-la-carte basis,
without the usual initiation fees, monthly dues and long
term commitment. This allows you to create your own
fitness program or have us structure one for you expressly suited to fit your goals, schedule, and budget.
Pilates:
Although pilates is relatively new to "mainstream" fitness, this method of total body conditioning has been around since the early 1900's. The primary piece of equipment used is the reformer, which operates on various spring levels which are adjusted depending on the client's strength, weight and height. Some of the results from pilates include:
- spine stabilization and alignment
- enhanced sports performance
- increased flexibility
- spinal elongation and mobility
- correction of asymmetries
- improvement in cardiovascular system
- postural strength
- joint mobility
- trunk muscle endurance
- injury prevention
Our pilates trainers hail from a wide variety of backgrounds and specialties and have many years of experience and numerous certifications. The result is a cohesive pilates staff that can meet the wide array of interests and fitness goals of our clients. Sculpt offers individual pilates training sessions as well as small group classes on the reformer, which must be booked in advance. If you cannot find a class time that meets your schedule, then find 2-3 friends and we will find an instructor to accomodate YOUR schedule.
Personal Training:
Sculpt trainers will assist you in creating innovative strength, cardiovascular, and conditioning programs. One of the unique aspects of Sculpt is our integrated approach to fitness and health. In keeping with this philosophy, we encourage our clients to mix and match various types of training in order to maximize results. Before we can begin helping you achieve your specific fitness goals, we will first meet with you to discuss your health history and injury profile. With your permission, we may also contact your physician, physical therapists, or specialists who can offer us valuable insights about your existing or pre-existing conditions. The more we know about your health, the more accurately we can design a safe and effective program for you. Clients are placed into a plan that best fits their fitness goals, fitness level, workout style, budget, schedule and lifestyle. We try to continue to modify and shape your plan to fit your changing needs as your relationship with us grows and changes.

Muscle Activation Techniques:
Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a comprehensive state-of-the-art checks and balances approach to identifying muscular imbalances. Weak or inhibited muscles can often create the need for other muscles to tighten up and compensate and help stabilize the joints. This can create imbalances in the body, as well as pain. MAT gets to the root of pain or injury by addressing muscle weakness rather than muscle tightness. This helps restore normal body alignment, thereby reducing pain and decreasing the risk of injury.
MAT informs us in making our exercise programming decisions and serves as a powerful tool as we seek to impact our clients' fitness and steer them away from chronic pain and injury. By restoring proper alignment, functional flexibility, strength and balance, our clients are able to reap maximal benefits. For more information on the MAT system, visit www.muscleactivation.com.
Power Plate training:
Whether you are a professional or amateur athlete, a senior, or rehabilitating from an injury, Power Plate training is for you. Advanced Vibration Training was brought to the forefront by Russian scientists to counteract the bone and muscle degeneration caused by zero gravity. It is considered to have been responsible for the cosmonauts's exceptional record of staying in space for over 400 days, more than three times longer than their American counterparts.
