What's Pilates?

Posted by Personal Training Department on Monday, August 14, 2017

1. How is Pilates different from, or similar to, yoga?

The first difference is their origin.  Pilates is named after its creator, Joseph Pilates. When Pilates was a young child, he suffered from several diseases that limited his mobility, so he developed the Pilates exercises in the early 1900s for rehabilitation and strengthening.

Pilates moved from Europe to New York in the 60s and opened his own studio. High profile dancers and ballerinas became attracted to the exercise routine to build their strength, stamina, and flexibility. This dedication from the dance community is what brought Pilates into mainstream exercise trends.

Heart & Determination - Trainer Challenge!

Posted by Personal Training Department on Wednesday, July 19, 2017

In honor of the Milestone Trainer Challenge, this is a compilation of pictures showing the heart and determination displayed on "Day 1".  Milestone personal trainers practiced what they preach to their clients about setting goals, working, sweating, and when things get tough... pushing through the pain and using will-power to fight against fatigue.  Personal trainers are not finished products.  They work hard every day to become healthier, stronger, and better versions of themselves.  Let these pictures empower you as a Member of Milestone, to free yourself from the thought, "What are other people thinking?"  Instead focus on your goals and visualize yourself achieving what you set your mind to.  You can do it!  We believe in you!  Check out the great quotes throughout this article, from Milestone Personal Trainer Brenna Tomlinson!
