PRESENTED BY MARY JANE’S PILATES STUDIO
Ready to Get In Shape!
Introductory Offer for New Students
3 Private Sessions & 2 Group Classes
(includes a pair of Pilates socks) Price: $275
Our introductory offer starts with 3 private lessons. Mary Jane mentioned “Private lesson are the best way to get started. This way they are not so intimidated of the apparatus and the movements. I cringe when studios throw newbies into a class because they are so lost and don’t understand why they are doing what they are doing.”
Isn’t it time to get in shape? After the Holidays pilates would be an excellent way to get toned, build your strength and flexibility. Sign up for our New Student Introductory offer and let’s get started now in the New Year.
