Fundamentals
There are five fundamentals in the IM=X Pilates technique. Learning them thoroughly will allow you to execute all moves with power and clarity. Very often people use excessive neck tension to perform core strengthening exercises or they compress the low back. These habits will cease as your ability to elongate, recruit and stabilize all core muscles becomes natural. The IM=X Fundamentals sessions are for new students as well as seasoned members. You benefits will be heightened with the IM=X Fundamentals!

IM=X® Interval Training
Strength Training
Definitely the hardest session. This advanced class keeps the heart rate up while demanding strength. You will sweat your way through sequences which are organized to maintain the challenge. The results will include increased muscle endurance and lots of calorie burning.
