Stott Pilates with Stephanie Emenecker

Stephanie  has been a Pilates practitioner since 2003 when she began her study to help  gain core strength with her husband who was experiencing back pain due to golf and running.  Experiencing firsthand the  body and mind benefits Pilates provides, she has found her passion in the  practice and teaching of Pilates. She has recently completed both her Intensive  Mat-Plus and Intensive Reformer training through STOTT Pilates and will be  offering private Reformer sessions this fall as well as teaching our group  Traditional Pilates Mat and Reformed Mat classes at the studio.

What is a  Reformer?

In keeping with its adaptable  nature, Pilates is quite effective done as a simple, mat-based workout,  however, by introducing various pieces of Pilates equipment into your routine  you will add variety and intensity to your program.

The Reformer is probably the most utilized  piece of equipment in Pilates training. Gliding back and forth on rollers,  using springs rather weights for resistance, the Reformer provides gradual  resistance as your muscles contract, delivering the ultimate workout while  minimizing stress on tendons and ligaments. Using a top of the line STOTT  PILATES Reformer, your Pilates workout is enhanced with:
  • Eccentric and concentric muscle contraction for long, lean muscles
  • Three dimensional movement
  • Total musculo-skeletal conditioning (muscles and postural alignment)
  • Facilitates core conditioning and peripheral mobility
Multiple attachments can  be added to the Reformer to accommodate a wide variety of exercises and body positions.  Your final result is a total  body workout that builds muscle, conditioning, toning and cardio endurance.
Private Reformer Session Pricing:
  • $50 1 hr session 
  • $225 5 session package 
  • $450 10 session package
Call our front desk (920) 720-0660 for scheduling and purchase of private sessions.

About Pilates  & STOTT PILATES®

Developed in the early 20th  century by German-born gymnast, Joseph Pilates, pilates has been, and continues  to be the exercise of choice for dancers, athletes, and celebrities due to the  resulting long, lean muscles and greater flexibility that are typical of  regular practitioners of pilates. A non-impact exercise that balances the building of muscular strength with flexibility and proper body alignment
and balance, pilates is suitable for virtually everyone from prenatal/postnatal women, rehab patients and the elderly to top- performing  athletes and performers.


First developed in 1988 by Moira Merrithew and Lindsay G. Merrithew, alongside a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, STOTT PILATES is a contemporary approach to pilates that marries the fundamentals of developing core strength and flexibility used in traditional pilates with the modern principals of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation. The combined knowledge and ongoing research into these varied health disciplines result in one of the safest, most effective and most
adaptable forms of exercise and muscle conditioning available for everyone, especially those with back problems or other medical restrictions
. This makes STOTT PILATES uniquely suitable to most any individual looking for a safe and effective means of improving the way one looks and feels. Dubbed 'the professional's choice', it is the most well-respected style of pilates available due to its safety and effectiveness for all levels of practitioner.
