Congratulations to US
 and a huge THANK YOU to all of you!

Hello Everyone,

 

It is now officially Fall.   Perhaps my favourite season of the year.   No bugs, nice day time temperatures, and cool evenings.  Not to mention the flurry of activity in the city with school starting and vacations ending.     

 

We've been busy at Precision Pilates too!   I just returned from a Level 3 exam in Boston last week.   I passed with flying colours, and am happy to say that my 'formal' Pilates training will soon be coming to an end when I write my comprehensive exam in a few weeks.   Now, all of the 'fun' training begins.  Workshops, lessons with fabulous world class instructors, and finishing my Kinesiology degree.  The learning never stops for Pilates teachers!!    

 

We revamped our website about a week ago.  How exciting is that?!   I think it is really great, and has lots of information for you, especially in the FAQ section.   You might want to check it out!

 

In other news, and perhaps the MOST exciting yet, I've been nominated in the TOP THREE for the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards, Youth Entrepreneur Category.    The Gala dinner is on October 19th, and thus the studio will be closed that evening so that Carol and I can both attend the event.

 

In the first article, you'll read about us receiving a GOLD Medal from Mayor Brad Woodside this week for our Fredericton Green Shops Gold level standing.

 

In the second article, I introduce our newest addition to the studio equipment, the 'High Chair' or 'Electric Chair' as it is also known.  Don't let the name scare you!  Read below for more information! 

 

With all of the exciting things going on with the studio, I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU all for being patient with us while we grow, for coming along on our journey, and for letting us be a part of your health and wellness!!

 

   

 

 

Yours in Health,

Precision Pilates awarded Gold Medal by Mayor Brad Woodside!

Gold Award Green shops
Monday evening, September 26th, Cara Bérubé was awarded a Gold Medal by Mayor Brad Woodside at the City Council meeting.   

This medal is for the Gold level standing that Precision Pilates holds with the Fredericton Green Shops program.

Just how are we green you wonder?   Well, Precision Pilates rarely uses the lights, and keeps the heat set very low in the winter, and we are completely paperless.  We also use organic cleaners, re-usable cloths, encourage our clients to bring re-usable drink containers, and recycle everything that comes into the studio!  Our central location also allows many of you to use your own energy to get to class either by walking, running, or biking.

The Fredericton Green Shops program is a great one that encourages businesses to be as green as possible.  Check it out online

 

The Pilates Electric Chair

Tirado High ChairJoseph Pilates was many things, including an inventor.  The many varied Pilates Apparatus each serve a purpose in the Pilates Method.   The High Chair (or Electric Chair as it is also commonly known) is no exception.

Keeping in mind that all apparatus were designed to make our '6 Pilates Concepts' better, this Chair will definitely challenge your Coordination, Centering, Control, Precision, Breathing and Flow.  

The high chair is the largest and most stable of the chairs, providing considerable support and alignment assistance.  The exercises for this chair are intended to improve strength and stability.  The high back of the chair supports the spine during seated exercises and, along with the foot alignment plate, assures proper alignment for the feet and legs during standing exercises.  The more advanced exercises included in the repertoire of the high chair will be a challenge for even the strongest of students. 
 
Many of you will benefit greatly from the exercises on the electric chair, and I will gradually give most, if not all of you, an exercise or two to practice either when you arrive for class a few minutes early, or after your class ends.   These exercises will help improve your Pilates matwork, but most importantly, give great benefit to your everyday activities and life.

Don't be scared of the 'electric chair', as it is only you that provides the necessary electricity!  

Do you have an iPhone or iPod?

Precision Pilates online scheduling software has an app that allows you to see our daily class schedules!  How convenient is THAT?!

 

Go to the 'app store' and search for the 'mindbody Pilates' FREE app.
