I was brand new to pilates, but after just one class, I was hooked - Ann Marie pushes you in all the right ways and I’ve never felt stronger

I can’t recommend Ann Marie enough! She knew exactly how to challenge me while always keeping the workouts varied and engaging. Her patience and encouragement have made me stronger and more confident in my practice and on top of it, she’s as kind as they come.
- Melissa
Ann Marie's classes are by far the most challenging and rewarding I’ve ever taken. You can tell she puts a lot of work and thoughtfulness into her practice, which sets her apart from the rest.

Ann Marie’s pilates class was everything I hoped for and more!
She’s incredibly patient and explains every movement so clearly, making it easy to follow along, no matter your level. She knows exactly how to challenge you and motivate you to be your best. After her class I feel stronger, more energized, and truly the best I’ve ever felt. Can’t recommend her enough!
- Auri
Ann Marie’s classes are by far the best classes I’ve taken. Her mat classes make me more sore than reformer classes at other studios, and I always felt welcome in her studio even when I was a beginner.
- Amanda
Ann Marie’s classes always push me to my limits, but in the best way — I leave feeling stronger after each time. Can’t wait for my next one!

Using a ball at the mid-back during core work increases activation of the transverse abdominals and obliques while encouraging thoracic mobility - often limited in those with low back pain. ⠀ By supporting the spine, it reduces strain on the hip flexors and neck, allowing for more effective core isolation. This tool not only supports those with low back pain but also adds instability to challenge and deepen abdominal work at any level. As your core strength builds you can incorporate leg extension to further challenge your lower abdominals!Button

Mat Pilates isn’t just a “modified” version of the Reformer—it’s the original method. Joseph Pilates developed his mat series first as the core of what he called Contrology. The Reformer and other equipment came later, as tools to help people master the Mat. Try adding in mat work to your routine to challenge your body in new ways!Button

So excited to announce that Habitat Pilates now offers EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) workouts!! This has become one of my favorite workouts to do 1-2 times per week with Pilates. A 20 minute EMS workout is equivalent to 2+ hours in the gym and recruits 90% of your muscle fibers allowing for a a deeper and more effective workout. Not only does it help with strengthening and toning, but it also aids in pain relief and recovery. Can’t wait to show you the magic of EMS! 💪🏻Button
