My sibling who lives in another state recommended Vitality Method Studio because their instructor recommended Joel Crosby as a Pilates instructor. I've had a few private sessions with Joel, and wow, this guy is incredible. Lucky for me, he just opened this new studio in Snellville.
For those who aren't too familiar with Pilates, it was invented by Joseph Pilates (From Germany), who was sick as a child and created his own physical training system to improve his strength. He later became a professional boxer and self-defense trainer and eventually moved to the USA and opened his own gym in NYC.
Now, to my point--there are different styles of Pilates today, but the original form is called Classical Pilates. This is the one you want to do, and Vitality Method Studio focuses solely on the Classical Pilates Method based on Joseph Pilates' techniques and scientific-based exercises (Physical Therapists use these exercises as well).
Coming here, I didn't know much about Pilates and wasn't sure how intense the workout would be. You really work your entire body with these exercises, with the main focus on building core strength, correcting posture, and aligning the body. If you're a guy like me, you might think this stuff is easy, but these exercises are exactly what your body needs.
Joel is very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and also teaches other instructors. He knows his craft, having taught Pilates for 25 years and worked as a fitness trainer for 31 years. He's an awesome guy, and I would highly recommend this place for anyone--moms, dads, professional athletes, everyone.
What I like is that the sessions you do with him are based on where you are currently, so everything is custom to you. As you continue to work with him, your exercises progress into something more challenging.
