BEST OF THE BAY: Informed Body Pilates!

PILATES  has been a hot topic on the blog lately – and I continue to grow more in LOVE with it daily.  Pilates dramatically transforms the way your body looks, feels and performs. It builds strength without excess bulk, creating a sleek, toned body with slender thighs and a flat abdomen. It teaches body awareness, good posture and easy, graceful movement. Pilates improves flexibility, agility and economy of motion. It can even help alleviate back pain.

Professional dancers have known the benefits of Pilates for decades. Top athletes use it for strength, flexibility, and injury prevention. Hollywood celebrities and supermodels use it to maintain beautiful physiques.

A miracle? Not really. Developed from the rehabilitation techniques of Joseph Pilates. Pilates is a safe, sensible exercise system using a floor mat or equipment, that will help you look and feel your very best. No matter what your age or condition, it will work for you…..as long as you have a great instructor.

San Francisco’s Informed Body Pilates is THE destination for fabulous Pilates instruction. This popular Hayes Valley studio offers a complete menu of private, trio, and group classes; and is well known for providing premium Pilates that packs a powerful punch. In the loft-like space, soothing green walls and sunny windows create an ambiance of peace and happiness. Tastefully decorated and well equipped with props, reformers, spring boards, and cadillacs, Informed Body has everything needed for a blissful mind-body experience.

The studio’s weekly schedule allows you to sample creatively titled classes like: “Bend, Bitch & Burn”, “Booty Beauty”, or “Pilates Bar”. You can also enroll in 4-week series programs and commit to getting rid of your “muffin top” with a motivating group. Personal training, yoga, and kettlebell classes are another part of the unique client offerings. Instructors include some of San Francisco’s top talent. With staff like lululemon ambassador Katie McMahon, professional dancer Amber Zuckswert, and Personal Trainer Sara Ris, Informed Body is a collection of the city’s best.

I was lucky to schedule a session with business owner Jill Harris for a private Informed Body lesson. The studio’s great success is in part because Jill is simply fabulous. Charming and fun-loving, Jill’s personality will immediately inspire you to get moving. Our hour together was challenging, entertaining, and honestly mind blowing. The class was perfectly customized to fit my body’s needs and muscular imbalances. Jill’s hands-on approach and expert eyes helped me make each move both strong and satisfying. I finished our workout feeling empowered and completely addicted. Hate to tell you but if you have a Pilates lesson from Jill you will be too. Don’t say I didn’t warn you… I’ll see you at Informed Body Pilates Studio!
