Way back in high school I took a mat Pilates class and it was okay. I didn't love it. When I heard about Club Pilates opening in Sun Prairie, I was intrigued. I have to say, the fancy machines seemed really intimidating. But my usual fitness routine was getting old, so I thought I would take a chance and give it a try. Folks, it was awesome! I now know the fancy machine is called a reformer and it isn't scary at all. The instructor was great. She gave detailed instructions and the class had a really good flow to it. My favorite part was when we used the reformer to jump! It's hard to explain, but basically, you are laying down (on your side or back) on a cushioned surface. Using your legs to push off a platform, you "jump" and the reformer (which has springs) pulls you back to the platform. It was such a cool experience to jump while lying down and I loved it! I am planning to make Pilates part of my fitness routine from now on. If you haven't tried a class at Club Pilates Sun Prairie yet, you are missing out. Get over there and give it a try! You won't be disappointed.
