Act fast and get a free strength training class!

We will be offering a new small group session simply called Strength Training Sessions starting February 4th!

  • Expect to get a whole body strengthening workout utilizing hand weights, various resistance bands, the magic circle and utilizing body weight exercises.  It’s important to ease into things and gradually increase the weight you’re lifting over time, so Shannon will help you determine which weights to use.    Our weights in the studio range from 2-12 pounds.  
  • Shannon will help you with proper form and technique so you know you are doing exercises correctly. She’ll make sure you are working at an appropriate range of motion and resistance for your body.   
  • Small Group Sessions are limited to 5 people per session maximum.
  • Small Group Strength Sessions are priced the same as our Pilates Mat Small Groups and our Yoga Small Groups  (If you buy a package of small group sessions, you can go to Pilates Mat, Yoga or Strength small groups!)
  • You can pick and choose which sessions you want to take or take them all!  NOTE:   The recommendations for women over 50 are to do strength training 2-3 times per week!

We have a deal for you!   Try a Small group Strength Session for FREE in February.   To claim your free session email us before January 31 and let us know which day in February you want to attend a session and we’ll add a free Small Group Strength session to your account and schedule you for your free session!

New In Studio Yoga Session

We are so excited to be able to add more Yoga to our in studio offerings.

Unlike other studios who offer drop in style Yoga classes, we’ll only be offering our Yoga Small groups by appointment only.  You will not be a person in a room of 20 yogis here.   You can easily request a spot in a session by requesting an appointment in Mindbody or by simply calling us.

Just like our small group Pilates sessions, our small group Yoga sessions are designed to be specific to those attending and you can be assured that your teacher will take the time to get to know you and help you create a practice that you love.  Sessions will be limited to 5 participants.

You might call Kim’s Wednesday small group Yoga sessions “functional yoga”. Each session is designed around very functional, doable movements that benefit the body of the average person. You’ll love these sessions if you are looking for a fun way to practice Yoga that improves your strength, increases your flexibility and mobility and leaves you feeling calm and content.   

Kim Blackwell will be teaching a Wednesday morning Small Group Yoga Session!  Kim is a physical therapist and Yoga teacher who loves to make Yoga accessible to all bodies!

Try the Wednesday small group Yoga session for free! Simply email us before January 31 and let us know which day in February you want to attend and we’ll schedule your session and put the free session on your Mindbody account.  

New Strength Training Sessions In-Studio!

,

At the beginning of the year I was checking in with all of our Rivercity Pilates staff to see if they had any ideas about new offerings for 2023 and oh I wish you could have been a fly on the wall for some of the coversations I had!

I was reminded how grateful I am to have such an amazing, talented passionate group of teachers at RCP who want more than anything to share their insight and knowledge with others so they can help others live their best life. 

A quick example of this was my conversation with Shannon.  She said I would really love to offer small group strength training sessions if you think it would work?

“The older I get the more I have realized the absolute necessity of regular strength training to my movement practice.   I was looking at a statistic that said 50% of women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis! Many of those women end up not being able to go back to their normal life activities because of the injury! 

I would love to be able to offer small group strength training simply using hand weights, bands, the magic circle and just body weight exercises.

I just want to help women realize that they can easily add in strength training to their life and it can make a big difference in how how they feel and function as they age!”     
Shannon, Rivercity Pilates Instructor

So needless to say…Shannon is going to be offering small group strength training twice a week starting in February!

These sessions will meet on Tuesdays at 6 pm and Saturdays at 10 am.  Sessions will be priced the same as our small group Pilates Mat and small group Yoga sessions.

You can schedule any of these sessions in Mindbody under appointments or simply email us and we can schedule you!
