Personal Training

Personal strength training on Longboat Key.

The Personal Strength Training Program is private training for improved strength, fitness, balance, and mobility. It runs in the same Longboat Key studio as our private Pilates, duet sessions, and small-group classes, at 5360 Gulf of Mexico Dr., Ste. 108.

The program

What the Personal Strength Training Program involves

Sessions are private, so the work is built around you rather than around a class plan. Training is progressive: load and complexity go up only when the movement holds together, which is what makes strength work safe to keep doing year after year rather than something you recover from.

Strength, balance, and mobility are trained together rather than separately. Balance is not a separate exercise so much as a consequence of being strong enough in the right places and able to get into the positions a day actually asks for.

Sport specific

Programs for golf, tennis, and pickleball

Sport-specific programs are available to improve golf, tennis, and pickleball. The common thread across all three is rotation under control: turning away from the ball and back through it without borrowing the movement from the lower back, and being able to stop and change direction without the knee or shoulder taking the cost.

For the longer version, read how Pilates keeps you playing golf, tennis, and pickleball longer.
