Our focus
is on individual personal training and small group training, which are
offered on a unique a la carte basis, without the usual initiation
fees, monthly dues, or 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
- improvements in cardiovascular system
- postural strength
- joint mobility
- trunk muscle endurance
- muscle strength and endurance
- injury prevention
Our
Pilates trainers hail from a wide variety of backgrounds and
specialties and have manyyears 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 clientele. Sculpt
offers individual pilates training sessions as well as small group
classes, 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 cardiovascular, strength, and conditioning programs. One of the unique aspects to 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 physicians, 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 intot a plan that best fits their fitness goals, fitness level, workout style, schedule, budget, 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.
Two
key factors that will determine the success of your fitness program are
session frequency and exercise adherence. Your fitness program can be
designed for one-on- one training or group training. You can choose to
incorporate different elements to your training regime such as:
Small Group Training:
We
offer small group training classes such as TRX, Spinning, Aquatics,
Stability ball, Pilates, Yoga and our signature SCULPTED class (which
is a combination of yoga, pilates, barre work, and flexibility
training). We also offer group reformer classes
that are limited to 6 people. All classes must be booked in advance
due to avoid overcrowding. You can check our online schedule for more class information, times and pricing.
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 decreasing pain and reducing 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, visit www.mucleactivation.com
Power Plate Training:
Whether you are an amateur or professional athlete, a senior, or rehabilitating from an injury, Power Plate training is for you. 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' exceptional record of staying in space for over 400 days, more than three times longer than their American counterparts.
