Everyone thinks about exercise differently. Some think of it as a task, some cherish it, and frankly some cringe just thinking about it. We want results and we want them with minimal effort. We want to be thinner, stronger, healthier and stand a lot taller.
What if you could participate in a program that was specifically designed to you, your needs, and your bodies instabilities, while using a variety of equipment to keep things interesting? You would be stoked right? I know I am.
So this is the deal- Pilates IDX. Pilates Intelligent Design eXercise. Bang. A result based regimen geared towards progress and goals, whether that be fat loss, toning, rehabilitation or overall health.
As a seasoned Pilates instructor who has worked with many different populations of people, the biggest struggle I face is seeing results through pure Pilates. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Pilates, I wouldn’t want to live in a world without it, but do I think it should be your sole fitness regimen? Absolutely not. Which is why we at Aire Urban Fitness have created a program where the principles of Pilates can be maximized through program design, circuit training, and various training techniques, such as TRX, kettlebells and plyometrics. It is easy to find many group classes in the fitness world in San Diego, which can give you a fun variety but these classes are not specific to your own body type and needs. This personal training program is 100 % tailored to you and your fitness needs, limiting risk for injury and maximizing fat loss.
We start with an FMS assessment, which stands for Functional Movement Screening, very official. (Read more here) FMS is a ranking and grading system that documents movement patterns that are key to normal function. By identifying functional limitations and asymmetries in your body, we can then aim to target problems and track progress. This test produces a score that is used to link the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore sound movement patterns.
With the results of your FMS test we create a unique program for you that will balance out your instabilities, make you feel amazing, and turn you into a lean mean fighting machine. We will design 2 different programs to start you off with and once you progress, so will the program. Rest assured that you are in the hands of a Pilates expert who is keen to form and precision, accelerating your progression into a functional body.
The first step is coming into Aire Urban Fitness for your initial assessment. The assessment consists of measuring your weight, body fat, and circumference. Then we do the FMS test and discuss goals. The assessment is a great way for me to get to know you and what type of training atmosphere you prefer. With the results of your assessment I create your individual programs and once you begin your workouts, your metrics are tracked and recorded to assess your progress. It’s pretty awesome and very efficient.
It’s a new year, get excited about 2012 and get into Aire Urban Fitness to try Pilates IDX.
