So many GREAT benefits!

  • Pilates exercises focus on proper body alignment while executing weight-bearing movements

  • The exercises increase strength and muscle mass, which helps to support our bones.

  • Pilates strengthens your core, including the muscles of your shoulders, back, pelvis and abdomen leading to better posture.

  • Pilates exercises combine strengthening and stretching, they can promote improved quality of movement in everyday activities.

  • Core strengthening through Pilates improves stability and balance. This in turn helps to prevent falls that can lead to fractures.

  • Studies have shown that Pilates decreases pain, improves quality of life, boosts mood and decreases stress.

  • Exercises have been modified as needed to provide a safe and effective workout

About the Instructor

Linda Johnson Wirtz


Linda’s career in fitness began back in 1985, when she first began teaching group exercise classes to balance the stress of her “real” job—teaching kindergarten. She later transitioned to working in the fitness industry full time, teaching classes and managing the program at a local health club. She eventually discovered Pilates and found this method to be her true passion. While she works with a wide range of clients, she has found her niche to be teaching those with special conditions who need modifications—like osteoporosis! She now teaches at a physical therapy studio, which gives her the opportunity to apply these skills with their many patients. Linda completed her Pilates coursework through Balanced Body, with additional training through Peak Pilates and Stott Pilates. She is also a YogaFit instructor, a Rossiter Stretching coach, and a Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist through the Pink Ribbon Program.
