Adrian is part of the third generation of the Pilates lifestyle. He combines traditional and contemporary methods using fitness tools such as the Reformer to help his students train, strengthen and tone their bodies without putting them in danger of injury.

Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. It is a body conditioning routine that helps to not only build flexibility, but also strength, endurance, and coordination throughout the body. Joseph Pilates believed that mental and physical health are inter-related and his exercises were intended to strengthen the human mind and body.

The first generation of students, today known as The Elders, including Ivon Dahl’s (Adrian’s mentor) teacher, Bruce King, studied with Joseph Pilates. Many went on to open studios and teach the Pilates method. Modern day Pilates styles, both "traditional" and "contemporary", are derived from the teaching of these first generation students.

Adrian’s Reformer classes are fun, upbeat, exhilarhating and addicting. Reformers alone have revolutionized the world of fitness, safely delivering results. They help promote an effective workout while stretching, lengthening and toning the body as well as decreasing pain due to spinal compression. In his high demand private sessions he uses all 6 pieces of the Pilates apparatuses: Mat, Small Barrel, Ladder Barrel, Wunda Chair, Cadillac, and Reformer.

Adrian's Pilates method is extremely effective as he combines intense cardio, resistance training, and light weights to give the ultimate workout experience, safely, taking the experience to a whole new level of fitness, burning more calories at a quicker rate. Results are dramatic which keep people coming back for more every day! It's no wonder why Pilates has become a lifestyle.
