Rivercity Pilates might not be a good fit for you if….

I was studying up on some business marketing the other day ago and one of the ideas that was presented was to make sure to not only let people know who would be a good fit for your business but also to let people know who is not a good fit for your business so that you are not wasting their time.  This got me thinking about who might not be a good fit for Rivercity Pilates and I came up with my top 5 reasons why Rivercity Pilates might not be a good fit for you:

1. If the only reason you exercise is to lose weight or shred inches off your waist.  At Rivercity Pilates we know that exercise and movement are an important part of maintaining a healthy body, but we’re not so concerned about a number on a scale or a dress size.  We believe an exercise program should be fun, help you relieve stress, be safe and give you results like feeling better in your body, gaining strength and flexibility, and allowing you to do anything and everything you want to do with your body.

2. If your workout clothes are just as important as your workout.  Don’t get us wrong…we love to feel good in our workout clothes and love them as much as the next person but we know that more important than over priced Yoga pants is you feeling comfortable in what you are moving in.  You’ll find our clients wearing a wide variety of comfortable active wear and you’ll never feel like you don’t fit in because of what you’re wearing.

3. You only want to “feel the burn” when you workout!  There is definitely nothing wrong with feeling your workout but our instructors know that you don’t need to be miserable to get a great effective workout.  We give lots of variations for different body types and encourage clients to work at an appropriate level for their body.  Often times clients find that by slowing down, paying attention to their body and focusing on using the correct muscles they get a much better workout than if they had just muscled through the workout pushing as hard as they could!

4.  You are not looking for an instructor to learn from.  Some people just want to workout and are truly not interested in learning more about how their body moves and how they could do a movement better to get the most benefit in their body.  Our instructors are passionate about not only helping you get in a good workout but educating our clients so they can continue to progress safely and get the most out of their workouts.  They love to get to know each client and nothing makes them happier than to help you fine tune your movement through individual tips and cuing.

5.  You don’t want to talk with anyone before or after your workout.  Not everyone enjoys being social or “having everyone know your name” like Cheers and if this is the case Rivercity Pilates might not be the place for you.  From our front desk staff to our instructors, our staff members love to connect with our clients so that we can better serve you.  Our clients seem to really enjoy this casual friendly atmosphere and also enjoy getting to know each other.

If you read through our list and still think Rivercity Pilates might be a good fit for you I encourage you to schedule a complimentary session with one of our instructors so you can get to know us more!
