Alternative Fitness

Caroll Christey

The Alternative Fitness Center has been offering affordable Pilates classes since 1996. Pilates is a non-impact form of whole body toning that builds strength and flexibility from within, incorporates precise breathing and works for people of any age or physical condition. The small, closely supervised classes emphasize proper training on the Reformer machine followed by mat exercises for as little as $12 per session. Classes are taught by Caroll Christy who studied for 10 years under a protégé of Joseph Pilates. The Alternative Fitness Center was voted the Best Pilates Studio by the Union readers in 2006. Here’s what some of our students are saying about us:

“I get help and encouragement in class.”

“Other types of exercise were intimidating. Pilates was welcoming.”

“Pilates is the only exercise program I’ve ever stuck with. 7 ½ years later I consider it due to Caroll Christy’s teaching and the gentle support of the other women.”

“After my wrist break, Caroll’s classes helped me quickly regain my strength. Even my doctor was surprised!”

“It saved my life!”

“I was someone totally out of shape and overweight. Now I feel wonderful!”

“I feel like Pilates is something I can do ‘til I die!”

Classes are offered weekday mornings and evenings, and Saturday mornings. Come join us! For more information, call 432-8985.
