THE METHODS
The Sharp Method Pilates + Barre Body Pilates
The Sharp Method Pilates
The Sharp Method comes to you from years of pilates, athletics, barre, and a forever passion for education. We strive to make people move better, live happier and thrive both inside and outside our studio.
Our method combines the holistic principles of Pilates movements with bio-mechanically driven fitness exercises. A workout with us is an emotional experience. We feel moving with intention, form and integrity is paramount. We treat each specific body in class like no other, as we know no two bodies are ever alike. This means we offer modifications for those still working on proper alignment as well as variations for the form advanced. And that’s what sets us apart. Your body deserves our attention with every movement.
After taking a week of classes with us you start to really “feel” multiple muscles working at the same time, as well as training the mind to make a full body connection. Time and time again we hear, “I feel muscles I’ve never felt before!” This is why The Sharp Method works for us, and WILL for you! Lean legs, lifted glutes, cinched core, sculpted arms, beautiful smile, heart of gold.

Barre Body Pilates
A Little About the Barre Body Pilates Class:
Our version of a Barre Body Pilates Class focuses on getting longer, leaner, healthier, happier and svelte physiques. This class combines many aspects of dance, fitness, Pilates, yoga and myofascial release. It’s structured to firm, lift and tighten all your best assets while restoring the congested areas. Our class tones your seat, abdominals, thighs, and arms as well as strengthens your legs and spine while improving your posture. The class varies from high energy to low impact, we work, we stretch, we isolate and lengthen. You will use your own body weight for resistance targeting each of your muscle groups to the point of fatigue. Subsequent to your hard work we then stretch those muscles in a way that promotes that elongated body.
