Meghan Del Prete, owner of Reform: A True Pilates Studio in Saratoga Springs, recently returned from the annual international Romana’s Pilates Convention in Nice, France. True Pilates Studio owners and instructors gathered to learn from master-level instructors trained by Romana Kryzanowska, former colleague and successor to Joseph Pilates.

Presentations included the history of Joseph Pilates, work with dancers and acrobats, and the science of why Pilates is successful from a physical therapy perspective. The convention was an invaluable opportunity to network and plan for master-level instructors to come to the Saratoga Springs Reform Pilates Studio to offer private lessons and specialized workshops for clients in 2013. For further details about the trip, check out the studio’s Facebook page or go to Del Prete's blog at www.reformyourbody.com. For questions about the studio and special opportunities offered to clients, including private and group lessons and mat classes, call 871-1315 or e-mail info@reformyourbody.com. The studio is located at 18 Division St., Ste. 203.

 Reform: A True Pilates Studio offers private and semiprivate instruction, as well as small group classes in a beautiful, light-filled studio fully equipped with Gratz Apparatus, state-of-the-art training equipment. All the highly trained instructors have been certified by Romana’s Pilates at True Pilates NY. This gives the studio the advantage of keeping the integrity of the Pilates method pure, as it was taught by Joseph Pilates and handed down to Romana Kryzanowska. The studio boutique offers beautiful Pilates and yoga workout apparel, including Lucy and other high-quality name brands, and has a selection of Pilates books, DVDs and workout accessories.
