Urban Body San Jose

We are so pleased to host Kathy Van Patten at the end of the month for a GYROTONIC® Apprentice Review and our founder Shannon will be assisting her! This course is part of the GYROTONIC® Foundation Course and is for GYROTONIC® Apprentices ready to prepare for GYROTONIC® Level 1 Certification.

It’s open to all GYROTONIC® Apprentices, regardless of whether you practice at our studio! Kathy is a phenomenal instructor with decades of experience so you will be in great hands if you are ready for the next chapter in your journey!

The review will be June 22-27. Reserve your space on the Courses and Workshops page on our website.

We stand by this belief: bodies deserve more than one-size-fits-all workouts!
Reformer classes can be amazing but your body might need more support or a different apparatus could completely change an exercise for you. We teach to the body in front of us—always have & always will!

Pilates and strength training go together beautifully! Strength training loads the bones while Pilates focuses on smaller stabilizing muscles like deep core and hip stabilizers that often get neglected. Classical Pilates can add so much value to your form while weight training.

Stronger stabilizers mean better joint support, which helps your bigger muscles lift heavier. Additionally, Pilates emphasizes body awareness, which translates directly into strength training, like cleaner squat form, more stable shoulders for bench presses and less compensating in general.

The two go hand in hand so you can have more powerful lifts.

Small group classes have been requested for years at our studio and we are offering them now! Small group classes are a fantastic way to get extra practice during the week, meet other Pilates and GYROTONIC® practitioners and get personal attention.

Classes are limited to four people and they are open to all levels! If you’re new to Urban Body San Jose, you must complete 3 private sessions before joining a small group class. Classes are $70 and you must register at least 24 hours in advance. Swipe through for the schedule (we even offer classes on the weekends).
