What is Pilates ?

https://www.fitnpilates.com/pilates-instruction/

It is a system of exercise originally developed by Joseph Pilates to rehabilitate prisoners of war in the late 1920s. This technique of exercise is now recognized as one the most effective methods to increase fitness levels, maintain strength, and maintain flexibility. Pilates has been used for years by world-class athletes as a foundation for their peak strength needs. Over the last two decades it has become recognized by health and wellness professionals, including orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists, as an excellent means of healing injuries and promoting spinal health.

After researching Pilates locations and reading positive reviews about Fit N Pilates and Shannon Rene, I signed up for a few trial sessions. It has been a gratifying experience. Shannon and her staff are experienced and trained. At six months into my sessions, I feel an improvement in my core strength and an overall positive physical feeling.

I started with Fit N Pilates after my orthopedic surgeon recommended I try it for my ankle. Working with Shannon and Alessandra was great! Not only did my ankle feel like it got more mobility, I felt like I got a great total body workout. The sessions were fun but challenging and both of the instructors were great to work with! I would highly recommend Fit N Pilates to all of my friends!

I started with Shannon in Dallas about 7 years ago. When she moved to Plano I followed her without a question. She is very knowledgeable, patient, knows how to push when needed and has helped me work through two hip replacements. By far the best around, and also hires the best trainers to work with her

I have been working with Shannon not quite 1 year. The transformation I have already seen is amazing. She has such an incredible way to instruct and help you “get into” postures based on your strength and flexibility. Her energy level is infectious and while I have taken many lessons over the years, group and Individual, nothing compares to Classic Pilates and they way Shannon
teaches .
