Welcome to Pilates 101!

Pilates 101 is a boutique fitness studio in the heart of beautiful downtown Fountain Hills, AZ. We focus on overall physical education of each participant in small controlled groups with no more than 8-10 people in any given class.

If you are new to exercise or the studio, it is strongly advised to take a few private lessons to assess your overall skill level and familiarize yourself with the equipment. The teacher can then place you in the appropriate class for your level of fitness.

We usually begin on the Pilates Tower/Mat, the perfect apparatus for the beginner. The Tower makes the exercises easier to achieve using spring resistance and incorporates the fundamental principles of Pilates (concentration, centering, control, breathing, precision, and flowing movement).

Once the critical connections are learned, the student will be able to apply those fundamentals to more advanced work on the Mat, Pilates Chair, and Pilates Reformer.
