PILATES

Pilates is a series of controlled exercises that focus on the body’s core muscles: the abdominals, hips, and back muscles…those muscles that hold us upright, and keep us moving.

She has several years experience teaching at Crunch, New York Health and Racquet Club, and David Barton Gym. Marci believes that the strength, flexibility and muscle tone gained through her class is an excellent exercise choice for older adults to stay healthy.
