Is Pilates more then just core and glutes?
What exactly is a reformer and why does it look scary?

Meet Amy Hirsch

Owner of Precision Pilates

Amy went to school for exercise science and eventually feel in love with Cardiac Rehab.  This job inspired her to get her masters degree and really dive into all about the human body, but something was wrong.  She noticed as the years went by she was spending more time on the computer and less with people.  
This lose of connection, along with realizing they needed a better Pilates teacher, drove her to become an instructor.

Taking on this relatively new form of exercising, Amy eventually found her way into owning her own place in Smithtown, NY

So what is Pilates?
Pilates was formed by Joseph Pilates and started off on the floor, using his blend of yoga and fitness techniques.

What is floor pilates?
It is the basic framework of pilates and puts you through a series of exercises that really engage your core.

What is pilates reformer?
Reformer is a big machine that is just like floor pilates, but uses springs to either work with or against you.  It has a set amount of exercises that can really give you a great workout and teach you some cool moves.

Chair & Tower Pilates?
Two different forms that really focus on using gravity and springs to help your alignment and teach you proper posture.
