ABOUT PILATES

 

Pilates uses dynamic movement focusing on the smaller stabilizing muscle groups in your body while providing a total body workout. It helps restore the natural curvatures of your spine, improving posture and overall strength. 

 

STOTT PILATES® is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. 

 

The STOTT PILATES® method includes modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation, making it one of the safest and most effective methods available. 

 

ABOUT JEMARK LOPEZ

 

Jemark Lopez has been a fully certified STOTT PILATES® instructor for over 8years. With a degree in Physiotherapy, he has excellent knowledge of anatomy and the multitude of injuries and other issues for which Pilates can be of great benefit.  After first seeing the quality of exercises embodied by the Pilates method.  Jemark was convinced that Pilates could play an integral role in helping those with injuries to achieve relief, comfort, and improved strength.  For that reason, he decided to pursue his STOTT PILATES certification in Toronto. 

 

In Pilates we work the smaller local stabilizing muscles closer to your bones. That’s why the overall positioning and posture of the client throughout the session is so important. It helps stimulate those small muscle groups. 

 

He tailors to the individual needs of each client and their exercise goals. Whether it’s overall strengthening, rehabilitation of an injury or chronic pain, or weight loss.

 

He enjoys changing the workout routine frequently and strategically program sessions to challenge the client and ensure they are continuing to benefit from their workout sessions.
