We always find it very interesting, inspiring and educational to here why people begin Pilates exercises and how it affects their lives.

This is Frank Zito's Pilates Story.........

"I didn't seek out Pilates.  It found me.
 
While working as a massage therapist at a chiropractor's office, I was given a new massage client who happened to be a dancer.  He was also a student of Pilates Technique Certification and was looking for bodies to practice his teaching skills.  He asked me to volunteer and I initially declined.  I had no idea what Pilates was and didn't have any friends who did it.
 
He asked a few more times and I decided to give it a try. I'll never forget my first session.

I was told that all movement comes from the Powerhouse.  I was told that I should be inhaling on exertion.  I was told that I needed to strengthen my achy back.  I was told that my flexibility was below average.
 
I completed my first session and I remember walking home and having a feeling that my life had just changed!  The ground that I was walking on, felt different.  My achy back felt looser.  I had awareness of my posture while simply walking.
 
6 months later, I enrolled in Jill Cassady's training program and was on my way to changing my career.  I'm still a massage therapist, but I'm also a Pilates Instructor with a very busy practice.
 
I've worked alongside some of the biggest names in the Pilates world.  And I love taking workshops and continuing education classes.  The learning never ends.
 
Everyone remembers their first Pilates session.  What is your story?"
