I count on my Pilates classes to keep me moving bike and strong. I have chronic pain issues that make it difficult to play with my grandsons and do the gardening and landscaping at my acreage. The combination of Pilates equipment, Essentrics, and Booty Bar or MOTR is perfect. The instructors all pay attention to how my body is functioning or not.
In fact, when they identify that I am out of balance, I immediately book an appointment with Dr. Rikki Mackenzie, the in house Chiropractor. She gets me straightened out before I become immobilized with pain and tightness. On occasions where i have left it to long - she works with me to get myself back to optimal functioning.
Best Massage Ever! I had a deep tissue / cupping session with Stephanie Taylor (RMT) with the Lead Integrated Health Team today. Stephanie was knowledgeable, answered my questions and was able to release my severe neck and lower back tension. 11/10 - AWESOME.
Amazing experience in the new facility. To have such a diverse range of classes and services under one roof is the perfect solution. I have struggled with a back injury and it is so frustrating to have to go to a chiropractor and then to other office for sports medicine. It is hard to find the ability to have all those areas speak to each other and create a unified treatment plan.
Job well done!
I simply can't tell you how much I love going to Lead Pilates. I wasn't sure I would be able to do pilates (when I started I was a whopping 80+ pounds overweight). But I went in to meet with Jana and she was fantastic. I signed up immediately for a 2 pack of mat classes (2 classes per week). And have been going steadily since then. The fantastic thing is that 5 months in and I am down 40 pounds and can see an incredible change in my body.
When you go - and believe me you should - you really should try a variety of the things they have on offer. The mat classes are awesome and will continue to be a mainstay of my exercise there. But they have so much more than that too. The equipment is amazing to work with - I have just started doing the "recharge" circuit and it is phenomenal. And when you really want the opportunity to push yourself in some very different ways the Essentrics and TRX are both awesome (and an excellent workout that you get to make as hard as you want it to be).
And the most important thing about going there. All the instructors that I have had sessions or classes with are spectacular and all make me feel absolutely at home there. They know how to get the best out of you and are always keeping an eye out with a supportive word when you do something really well and a gentle reminder when you need to adjust your form. I can say that with their help my body is well on it's way to a complete transformation - including me having a level of awareness of how my body moves and works that I have never had before. And ab and core muscles that just quite frankly never existed even when I was young and athletic.
Go! You won't regret it!
Super friendly staff! Jana made me a custom program that was a ton of fun and it made a huge difference in how my body felt. I noticed a marked improvement when I played soccer and ball. If you get a chance to use the equipment - do it!
