ASK QUESTIONS
WHAT IS SYSTEME DYNAMIQUE?
Simply put, SYSTEME DYNAMIQUE™ is a combination of weight
training and Pilates. It combines the best of both: the strengthening
and toning benefits of weight training, and the lengthening and postural
enhancing benefits of Pilates in a circuit training sequence to keep
the heart rate up and burn extra calories. We incorporate such "old
school" exercises as push up and lunges using the support of the
Pro Former to eliminate the pressure on the joints and the spine .
I
HAVE NEVER DONE PILATES, CAN I DO THE CLASSES? OR SHOULD I DO PRIVATE
SESSIONS FIRST?
It depends on your current fitness level.
99% of our new students do just fine in the classes. The workout is
intense but the routine is kept simple to make sure everyone is using
good form. However, if you have chronic pain in your spine and/or in
your joints or have a severe medical condition, it is recommended to
do a private session first to assess your fitness level.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO CLASS?
First and foremost, bring a positive attitude. Leave
all your worries behind. The class is for yourself.
You need to be present minded when working out to maximize the benefits
of the class.
Second, bring a towel as you will most likely sweat ;)
Third, although we have a water fountain, students
like to bring their own water. so bring water!!
Fourth, wear loose, comfortable clothes that allows your muscle
to stretch and your skin to "breath."
Fifth, jewelery is NOT a good idea. Your neck less may catch
into the springs system (nightmare to get out of),
and you may forget it and lose it. It simply offer too many opportunity
for disaster
(we know because we've seen it too many times) but wearing jewelry is
a choice for you to make.
Sixth, No cell phones during classes--please be respectful
of others.
Seventh, No strong perfumes as some students are allergic.
Eight, Money! if you are about to renew, please bring payment.
Most of our clientele pay On-line using our automated system.
Please understand that no classes can be confirmed if not prepaid.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I PRACTICE PILATES PLUS?
The workout is designed to work your body to muscle failure at which
point you need to rest. Depending on your fitness level and
the intensity of your workout, you will need more or less time to recover.
I would recommend 2 to 3 times a week to allow your body to properly
recover and repair. Some students love the workout so much that they
come 5 or 6 times a week. Listen to your body.
WHAT IF I CAN'T COME TO CLASS AND I HAVE
ALREADY BEEN CONFIRMED? WILL I BE CHARGED?
Yes, even if it's your first time. We absolutely require a 24hrs
notice before making any kind of changes to your schedule.
The same rules apply to the $199 unlimited special. During this special
offer, we will charge an additional $25 each time you cancel or reschedule
a class without giving us the full 24hrs notice. There is no exceptions
to that rule.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT SCHEDULING CLASSES
AND
TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE AUTOMATE BOOKING SYSTEM?
Someone is usually available during classes hours.
We recommend all our members to get familiar with our automatic booking
system. it is the easiest, fastest, and most accurate way to book classes.
If you forgot your password or need more info, call us or email us.
WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IN ADDITION OF
PILATES PLUS?
A lot of the students swear by the combination of Yoga, particularly
the Ashtanga style, and Pilates Plus, saying it's the perfect combo.
Some recommend spinning. I would say mix it up. Variety is the spice
of life. Your body has this amazing ability to adapt so, keep it guessing
and force it to adapt to new workout and combo. There is no best way
to workout or best system out there, the best routine is no routine,
there is an infinite amount of ways to train your body, so go out there
and try new stuff.
