Long + Lean Pilates at Freedom Run WineryJoin us on the Niagara Wine Trail for an amazing event that combines two of our favorite things: Pilates + wine!

Hayley will lead a fun and invigorating Pilates mat class outside on the beautiful Freedom Run Vineyard. We will then head in to the Freedom Run tasting room for a wine tasting including four wines of your choice.  The Pilates class will include classical Pilates mat exercises, Reformer exercises modified for the mat, and standing work that will improve balance and posture.

Freedom Run makes world class, delicious wine. With everything from Pinot Noir to Riesling, and even a dessert wine made from apples, there is something for everyone to enjoy at Freedom Run! Learn more about Freedom Run and their wines here.

See you there!

We are excited to announce that we will begin offering Private + Small Group Reformer Classes inside of Hive Lifespan Center in East Amherst! Classes and private sessions will begin July 11th, and there is no membership required!

When the opportunity presented itself to move into Hive, it was a no brainer! The facility is amazing with gorgeous bathrooms, luxurious locker rooms, a clothing boutique, a smoothie bar and the independently owned Spa 400. Long + Lean at Hive is equipped with 4 Reformers, a Pilates Chair, Jumpboards, and a Tower. Long + Lean at Hive will have all the offerings of Long + Lean Elmwood Village including Reformer+ Classes, Jumpboard Classes, and Private and Duet Sessions.

Just like Long + Lean Elmwood Village, classes at Long + Lean at Hive  are all about you! Your practice with Long + Lean always begins with an analysis of your alignment, physical health, and goals.  Your workouts are then tailored specifically to you and your objectives. Long + Lean Pilates workouts are rooted in the Pilates method developed by Joseph Pilates but also incorporate other forms of exercise including strength training, Yoga, and restorative exercise techniques.

View the Small Group Class Schedule and book your classes here. Be sure to select Long + Lean at Hive for your location. To schedule a private session you may call the studio, email info@longandlean.com, or request a session through Mindbody. If you are looking for a class time that is not yet on the schedule, please let us know. We are happy to accommodate any requests that we can!hivestudio

Hive is located 9570 Transit Road close to North French. You can find Long +Lean Pilates as soon as you walk through the front door on the left hand side.

We are thrilled to expand our business in to the Northtowns after just a year  in the Elmwood Village! We could not have done it without all of our amazing clients; thank you for your continued support!

Long + Lean Pilates 30 Session Challenge“In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 sessions you will see the difference, and in 30 you will have a whole new body.”  Joseph Pilates

 

Pilates is a transformative practice that can truly change your body to make you look and feel your very best. As we set our goals for 2016, it is important to remember that consistency is key, so we’re encouraging you to commit to your workout and complete 30 Pilates sessions by March 1st. Once you complete those 30 sessions, your body will be completely transformed!

All clients interested in participating in the 30 Session Challenge will receive a Long + Lean Punchcard. Every time you complete a class or session, we’ll punch your card! Once you complete 10 sessions, your card will be entered in to a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Long + Lean Pilates to be used for more sessions or apparel!  Complete 10 sessions by March 1st and you’ll get one entry in to the drawing. Complete 20, you get two entries; complete 30, you get three entries (and a whole new body)!

To boost your motivation even more, we’re discounting all package pricing options! From January 1st through January 15th, all Private, Duet, and Small Group Class Packages are 15% off.

Long + Lean Pilates instructor JennStart the Day off Right
I like to start the day off with a smoothie filled with spinach, banana, frozen fruit and green tea matcha powder for an early morning boost. If I have time, I’ll normally make a piece of toast with avocado and two poached eggs.

Prioritize Exercise
Exercise is very important to me, which is why I went for my bachelors in Exercise Science and minored in Health and Wellness. Even though Pilates is my core, I also love to spice up my exercise routine from time to time. I absoutly love the outdoors, whenever I can I try to do any kind of activity outside to get the blood pumping and a dose of vitamin D. With winter upon us I try to get to the gym 3-4x a week or a few sessions a week of Pilates Jumpboard for cardio!

Stretch Every Day
Stretching helps increase range of motion, prevent injuries and overall keeps the muscles and joints of the body happy and healthy. In today’s world everyone is so busy that it’s hard to commit to stretching everyday. However, it really only takes 5-7 minutes to stretch all the major muscles of the body. I normally stretch when I first wake up or before I go to bed at night, in order to awaken or prepare my body for the day.

Enjoy Every Moment
In my mind there’s no point going through life without enjoying moments and indulging in cravings from time to time. Cheat days and red wine with dinner are what keep my health kicks going and my mind motivated!

Take Time to be Mindful
I take a few minutes before I fall asleep each night to be mindful of my actions of the day, make a note of what I’m thankful for and just take a minute to connect with my inner thoughts. This helps with stress levels, helps me fall asleep faster and just to be a better person when I wake up.
