Pilates V Studio

Specialties

Pilates V Studio, Incorporated is a bridge to fitness, health and wellness for all ages. It specializes in Pilates reformer based classes that infuse the use of top of the line reformers, towers, magic rings/​circles, stability balls, bender balls, kettle bells, hand weights, gondola poles, dowels, short /​long boxes, and gliders to enhance fitness programs in both small groups and private class sessions (beginners, intermediate and advanced levels, and all age groups).

Pilates is a method that embraces the mind and body connection, based on the original system of controlled movements developed by Joseph Pilates decades ago. The method focuses on creating a healthy balance between strength and flexibility of the total body with emphasis on core stabilization.

Located off Lakeland Drive in north east Jackson, Mississippi on the street behind the Quarter, the studio is centrally located providing easy access and generous parking to the facility. Its setting is attractive and very professional– surrounded by medical, legal, business and government offices. All class sessions are taught by certified highly qualified Pilates instructors who are caring, kind, and professional.
