Fit First Pilates Studio

Just gonna leave this right here

"Skiing on the weekend? You may be feeling a few more aches on Monday morning. Don’t worry, there’s a pilates routine for that!"

Equipment needed: office chair with wheels, or a regular chair plus a small towel (if you're on smooth floor) or sliders or paper plates (if you're on carpet).

"Pilates is a great low-intensity exercise for menopause."

"It was tougher than the program used for prospects of the Naval Academy."

"The incidence of back pain is rising because of our sedentary lifestyles and increased dependence on technology (tech neck, anyone?), combined with a 'Weekend Warrior' mentality when it comes to exercising. For people in their 30s and beyond, back pain can be a chronic or constant problem, especially if one is overweight and/or inactive. Conditions such as arthritis and even depression and anxiety can predispose someone to back pain. Read on to discover how Pilates can help if you or someone you know that is experiencing back pain."

"Hattie Louise Jones continues to encourage her Arlington neighborhood with her dedication to exercise, work and her love for life."

These are tough times and a little encouragement goes a long way. If anyone in the Fit First Family knows someone who is struggling with addiction or life in general, this book by Recovery Coach, Dirk Foster, will make the perfect gift. My favorite quote from the book is, "trying to control life, is like trying to drink the ocean".

"For many people, the festive season brings with it a session of bingeing followed by feelings of guilt. And the strong urge to take one’s fitness in hand. If you experience this too, but don’t know where you can get started then worry not, we have the perfect solution for you! Pilates. It’s an accessible way to work your core muscles and leads to better posture, balance and flexibility. And to help us get back in shape, we reached out to Fitness Coach, Namrata Purohit, to share some of her pro tips."
