The Equipment

In Pilates, the equipment is called apparatus.  Its not a machine because in the words of Romana, Joe Pilate's protege,

​

       "..a machine moves you.  

                       Pilates is the other way around."

 

Traditional classical equipment designed to make YOU work because you work to make it work.  Classical equipment is more simplistic in design which increases the flow from exercise to exercise. The springs are gentler and while they provide a level of resistance, they will not do the work for you.  They are just enough to enhance an exercise and provide the necessary resistance. 

​

The result is a more uniformly developed body. 

Studio Owner, Harmony Jelinek

Pilates Instructor, Pilates student.  I've been practicing Pilates since 2009 and continue to find excitement and improvement in my skill and technique.  Pilates IS a lifelong endeavor and I can't wait to share my passion with you!

 

I created Bee Authentic Pilates because I wanted a studio in North Snohomish county that was close to my home that I would LOVE to work out at!  

 

One of the most important features to me was that the studio would offer authentic Pilates which would let students experience the FULL range of the Pilates repitoire -NOT just Mat OR (occasionally) Reformer like most studios.  Pilates is a system of exercise with a vast range of tools.  By only learning mat or reformer your progress is slowed and limited.  

 

I also wanted this to be a place of COMMUNITY, where clients can work out, grow and have classes together.  I believe classes are the best setting to get in touch with your body and to learn to take charge of your form and advancement.  Its the best place to indepedently learn the feel of the exercises in your body and to experience the empowering feeling of progression.  Its true!  You ARE capable of such amazing feats of strength and capability!  You just need to trust the process and stick with it.  

 

At Bee Authentic Pilates, I want the studio to be a place of empowerment for you, and through classes, and a variety of private and appointment session options, it is my hope that you will find all the tools you need to achieve your fitness goals.
