After teaching Pilates for over a decade, I wanted to create a Pilates studio that was accessible, affordable and simple. A place where you could grab an effective workout, and use it to support everything else you have to carry in your day. Where you actually look forward to moving your body and you reap the rewards of how good that consistent practice feels. Where you spend more time living fit and less time trying to get fit.
We aren’t flashy, and we’re not going after the latest fitness trends and you won’t see us doing any half naked workouts, rather, we’re committed to building healthy lives full of achievable fitness habits that meet us where we’re at and serve us well for years to come. I hope you join us!” -Noelle

True! I have that cheat mat that just stretches when doing planks. Hence I'm here, thank you for the video.

You are welcome 👍

[@racchankd3433]

Hi, may I know what is the material name? Thanks! 😊

[@noellerobertsstudio]

The balanced body “ecowise” mat is closed cell foam and environmentally friendly (free of latex, PVC and chloride). The thinner, yoga mat is a PVC material

[@barbraanntroisi9917]

Does it feel tacky? I bought a mat and it feels tacky so I’m returning it. It leaves me with a little bit of a sticky feel on my fingers.

[@noellerobertsstudio]

That can happen with certain materials. I really like to test them out by touch if I can before I buy one. Balanced Body makes really solid ones but they are more of an investment, however, on the less expensive side I've found some really good ones at target or TJ Maxx 👍

[@athickie]

I tried to order the mat from the site but the cheapest shipping was $60! Whos paying that??
