MEET THE MERCHCANT

CHAISE FITNESS

At ChaiseFitness, we have introduced a new private studio space for one on-one training in body conditioning and injury rehabilitation. Besides our dynamic and fun Pilates-based fitness classes, we now offer private sessions in our newly renovated backroom using a Pilates Reformer and Chair as well as the GYROTONIC ® Expansion System Method. Before the pandemic our focus was on Pilates-based group fitness classes. While in lockdown, we realized that the needs of our clients were changing and as such, transformed our back room into a fully equipped private workout space with a separate entrance. We also outfitted the entire studio with a photocatalytic Air Sanitation System using NASA developed UV-light technology to kill 99.99% of all virus and bacteria particles in the air for the health and safety of our staff and clients. During the pandemic we saw a dramatic shift in lifestyle. As our community became stuck at home, not only did our clients feel safer training one-on one, but we really saw the need for more individualized programming to help our clients adjust to whatever their new normal had become. Offering individualized programs allowed us to better serve our client’s needs, getting fit and feeling good mentally and physically. Our clientele ranges from those experiencing neck and back pain, to those rehabbing after surgery, to amateur and professional athletes and dancers, to those who just want to get fit and improve their overall posture and well-being. Studio owner and head instructor Claudia Aarts-Schreiber has honed her knowledge of body conditioning through years of experience working with athletes and dancers, like prima ballerina Misty Copland. As a Pilates based studio, we focus on helping clients properly activate their core to improve posture and overall function. Additionally, we work on mobilizing, tractioning, and stretching the spine and joints to improve range of motion and decompress the body from everyday stressors. Our goal is to help clients feel better, stronger, and rejuvenated when they walk out of the studio each and every time.
