Greetings!
Ahh....Spring. Longer, brighter, warmer days. These last few weeks have us wondering if it's going to arrive at all. But this is April on Cape Cod and in the midst of the wet, raw weather, as if we just blinked, our beautiful Cape Cod Spring will be here! That "Spring Fever" feeling will set in - and we will find ourselves looking longingly out the windows during the work day, wishing that we could play hooky for the afternoon.
How lucky I am that what I do for "work" is something that I enjoy so much, and truly believe in. I am fortunate to have exceptional clients, and such a great place to spend my day. I am blessed to be living, and making a living, here on the Cape -with terrific friends, a family at home, and my parents right next door. I am grateful for the many clients who have been with me for one, two, three years and more! And each week, I meet new people who are interested in learning about Pilates, improving their health & fitness, and gaining the benefits of massage - and who have become new members of my growing Hands-On Health "family."
So welcome to another Cape Cod Spring. Go ahead - take some time for yourself - play a little hooky. Watch the intricate changes that take place as the season shifts. Breathe it all in and become a part of nature's amazing renewal process. Enjoy life!
I am thankful for each of you. And I am looking forward to sharing our Spring together!
Be well,
Joy George-Bryden

Same Great Studio, Great New Name!
Coming soon.....a new name and a new logo for the Pilates Studio at Hands-On Health! With the growth of Pilates-inspired programs in other studios and health clubs, it's time to let people know how proud we are of our Pilates program.
The Pilates instruction you receive at Hands-On Health is the real thing, and of the highest quality. It is not just something we were trained to teach you in a day or a weekend workshop. We are the only fully-equipped, classical Pilates studio on Cape Cod, offering TRUE Pilates, taught by experienced instructors who are classically-trained and certified in the full Pilates system, including matwork and all the apparatus. A full certification in Pilates requires a minimum of 600 hours of training that covers the Pilates exercises for mat, reformer, barrels, chairs, cadillac, pedipole, tower, guillotine, magic circle and more - with comprehensive practical and written testing at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. A certification is only good for one year. Instructors are required to participate in annual continuing education programs in order to maintain their certified status.
You can rest assured that our instructors practice what they teach. We will never teach something to you that we cannot do, or do not fully understand and believe in ourselves. We discovered the benefits of Pilates as clients, just like you have. We grew into instuctors because of the magic we found in the practice of Pilates. And our goal is to help you master that magic, not just mimic the movements!
So in tribute to "Joe" Pilates and his life-changing system of exercise, the Pilates studio at Hands-On Health has a new name. It is a name we are proud of, and hope you will be proud to be a part of: JOE'S PLACE - TRUE PILATES!

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mystery of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day."
- Albert Einstein

Studio News to Know
* We've got a new look in the studio! Just delivered this week to add to your Pilates pleasure......a new Gratz Reformer, 2 Gratz Spine Correctors, and a Gratz Electric Chair! (It really does sound like a torture chamber, doesn't it? ;-)
* Be on the lookout for our new website, in the design process right now. The all-new site is expected to be up and running within a month. The new site will still be "Hands-On Health," but will introduce our new logo to represent the Pilates studio. This new site will include some great professional photos, recently shot in our studio and featuring several of our clients! In addition, there will be new information pages, an online store, and online appointment and class scheduling!! I am hoping to include several client testimonials on the new site, so if you are interested in contributing, please let me know.
* Want a little help with your Teaser? Have a question about your Series of 5? Beginning this month, we are offering "FOCUS PRIVATES" - half-hour private sessions for only $38 -- available to clients who are enrolled in classes or private Pilates sessions. Now you can have a little extra attention with some one-on-one time when you really need to get the scoop!
* Clients who are enrolled in classes or Private sessions at least twice per week can now choose an "ON ACCOUNT" payment plan. Payments representing the monthly amount due for all sessions scheduled can be made on the 25th of the previous month. For those of you making payments for 8-week sessions, as well as 5 or 10-session private training sessions, this should help with budgeting!
* Don't forget that INDEPENDENT WORKOUTS are available for clients that are cleared to workout on their own in the studio. $15 per session / $130 for 10 sessions - by appointment only. If you are interested, check with us to get information on pre-requisites and eligibility,
