Workout to Feel Good!
Ready for a fitness plan that is good for your back and will make you feel better? Want to feel refreshed after your workout rather than being left exhausted, burned out, or just plain bored?
Then split from the crowds at the gyms and find your fitness home where you will get coaching with a personal touch. At Pilates Connections, we will help you find the plan that best fits your personal needs and financial capabilities.
Been to other Pilates studios and think you know what to expect? We are different. Our innovative MatPlus program will challenge your core with the most economical group mat/apparatus classes available in Austin.
And, of course, you can enjoy private sessions (ideal if you are new to Pilates) and semi-private sessions (more economical, while retaining most of the benefits of private sessions).
Pilates is a Workout!
We view Pilates first and foremost as a workout. Although we incorporate principles of rehabilitation, breath control, and stretching into our workouts, these activities do not represent the method’s fundamental purpose.
The primary purpose of Pilates is to challenge the healthy body with an ordered sequence of exercises that target your deep, core muscles. If you have tried Pilates before and think it is too "easy," then you haven't experienced it the way Joseph Pilates intended.
If you have an injury or special condition, we will accommodate it with special modifications, but you will also get a workout.

Is Pilates Right for You?
#1 Are you physically fit, but have plateaued in your program at the gym?
Then, yes, Pilates will challenge you in exciting, new ways. You will develop important, core muscles that are usually ignored in the gym and apply your mind to the workout so that boredom will become a thing of the past.
#2 Are you basically healthy but haven't exercised in years?
Then, yes, Pilates will get you moving safely at the intensity appropriate for you. You will learn how to modify exercises at first to make them accessible to you, and as your strength grows, you will learn to work without the modifications and to challenge yourself more deeply.
#3 Are you basically healthy with mild to moderate back pain?
Then, yes, Pilates will strengthen the deep, core muscles that support your spine. Your back will feel better after just one session. If you currently see a chiropractor on a regular basis, Pilates is the perfect complement. As you strengthen your core, you will hold onto your adjustments longer, and you will make better, long-term progress.
#4 Are you an athlete looking to improve your performance?
Then, yes, by developing your core musculature, Pilates will enable you to perform your sport with greater control and stability. For sports that tend to over-develop one side of the body (i.e. golf, baseball), Pilates will restore balance in your body.
#5 Are you planning to get pregnant or recovering from your pregnancy?
Then, yes, Pilates is the perfect plan for you. A strong core is essential for your pregnancy! Strength and control in these core muscles are crucial for maintaining good posture, pushing during a natural delivery, and for recovery after the birth of your baby.
