Pilates
The Pilates principles recognize the need for a strong core with good alignment, functional mobility and attention to correct breathing. The Pilates method provides a unique approach to body awareness, postural work and stability training.
Pilates Principles
Concentration - the ability to block out distraction and analyze where we are statically.
Alignment - posture position of bones and joints, looking at keeping your bones in line.
Centering - we hold our alignment by using muscles; our muscles provide stability and movement.
Breathing - effective breathing enhances energy and wellbeing. Breathing is lateral thoracic breathing.
The focus is on integrating the mind and body to increase muscle control and balance.
The result is not just to strengthen one particular muscle action but to deliver a smooth controlled movement pattern.
The Benefits of Pilates
• To be more conscious of movement
• Increase body awareness
• Correct muscle imbalance
• Increase core control
• Improve strength and muscle tone
• Increase breathing capacity
• Lower stress levels
• A flatter abdominal section
• Better posture
• Less incidence of back pain

Testimonials
Over the past nine months I have had the rewarding experience of having Melaine Hrusik as my personal trainer. for a number of years I have been troubled by rheumatoid arthritis, with Mel's support, encouragement and personal training programs I am able to lead a relatively pain free and active life. Mel is also a qualified chef who is full of very good advise on how to make any meal a healthy experience. I now concider Mel to be a big part of my weekly exercise routine and find that my week is not complete without one of her vigorous workouts.
Katrina (via email) June 2007
I have trained with Mel for over a year now, and have found many changes in both my body shape and general wellbeing. I have over come metal issuses using a combination of boxing and weight training. Taining with Mel twice a week is challenging and each week I aim to better my last performance and beat Mel. This is very satisfying as a mature age participant. My self confidence has improved greatly. Bring on the Bosu training next.
Belinda (address supplied) October 2007
What made you first decided to get a personal trainer?
I have a back problem and it was recommended that I exercise. I did not feel comfortable going to the gym. I wanted an exercise program that was geared to my needs and involved a range of exercises.
How has your training changed your lifestyle?
I exercise regularly and my balance has improved. I feel very positive about my long-term health future.
What do you love most about your training?
I love that my training is at time convenient to me and that someone else is able to see an improvement in my fitness, even when I can't.
What advice would you give to others?
Personal training is a great way to get back into exercising regularly. It gives you the chance to try new things and to learn how to do them safely and correctly.
Pam (via email) December 2007
How has your training changed your lifestyle?
I have become stronger, fitter and more balanced generally both physically and emotionally. Training is a challenge and it tests you on a number of levels, but in saying that it also gives you a great sense of achievement with every session. Not only are you gaining physical fitness and benefits, but you are also refreshing your mind and emotions and feeling good about yourself and what you have achieved each time. This has a flow on effect to the rest of your life both physically and emotionally. Also, you start taking more notice of your diet, both because you are toning up and also to fuel properly for sessions. This gives you a direction and an 'aim' for your diet and nutritional approach to your lifestyle that is not so much based on 'losing weight' as much as 'eating smart' as an indirect result of the PT program.
What do you love most about your training?
Completing the session!!! ...seriously though, probably the best part for me is the fact that someone else does the thinking about the session plans, the balance of exercises and the holistic approach to my training. Also that you have company throughout the session with someone who is genuinely invested in insuring that you are receiving the maximum benefit from your efforts and that you enjoy the sessions as well....and that it fits around everything else in life, timing wise.
What advice would you give to others?
Give it a go...The hardest part about exercising or starting an exercise or weight loss program is the beginning when you are trying to learn how to exercise and also stick with it on the bad days. With a PT you are provided with a motivator - who adjusts to your needs and personality - who will also train and teach you to exercise. Once you have learnt this skill and you start to see some results in your changing body, you will be hooked and you will find that it gets easier from there. PT is also perfect for busy people who simply want a good solid and challenging workout, or a gentle routine, fitted into a busy lifestyle with someone else doing all the planning.
