Step 3: Register at my.pcc.edu for classes using the “CRN” (aka: course registration number) below. Each 10-class series in Winter 2020 is $285.

Each 10-class series is sponsored by Portland Community College. Winter semester 2020 runs January 6 – March 13.  You’ll meet the same day & time each week with options for make-up classes if you’ve planned some summer travels. Each week of class builds on the last, so you learn systematically rather than getting stuck in a rut or jumping in over your head. We’ll have assessments from time to time to check in on your progress. All classes are limited to 8 participants; each student has their own set of equipment.

Small Group Pilates Reformer + Tower Level 1 

Perfect for students new to Pilates. Build core and full-body strength while improving your flexibility using the Pilates Reformer and Tower machines. We’ll work on the basics and get back into fitness in this slower paced class.

Newbies begin with Level 1 starting with the vocabulary and concepts behind Classical Pilates. No worries, you’ll be moving from Day 1! Learning the “secret sauce” behind Pilates movements will give you results you can count on. You can take those concepts into other workouts and into the way you use your body in your daily life.

Level 1 Options in Winter Term 2020:

Small Group Pilates Reformer + Tower Level 2 

Building on the concepts from Level 1, progress your Pilates exercises on the Reformer and Tower machines. You’ll have options for advancing your Pilates routine using the jump board, magic circle, squishy ball and more.

Choose this class if you would appreciate a class that focuses on core concepts rather than more advanced exercises. We’ll also limit the amount of time you spend with knees bent or weight-bearing on your hands.

Level 2 Options in Winter Term 2020:

Small Group Pilates Reformer + Tower Level 3 

Choose this class if you have experience using the Pilates Reformer and Cadillac/Tower AND you would like to work on more advanced exercises. This class moves at a faster pace and involves more exercises that require weight-bearing on your hands/wrists.
