Lulu Martinez is a bilingual California native that grew up in a health and fitness orientated family. She became a massage therapist due to her fascination with the human anatomy and holistic medicine.

Due to a back injury she became interested in Pilates as a form of physical therapy. The combination of massage and Pilates can transform your body while eliminating pain. She did her research on Risa Sheppard and was impressed with her innovative Pilates techniques and knowledge. This led her to train at Sheppard's Method in Westwood, CA. She has been teaching Pilates mat and reformer classes for over 2 years now. She particularly connects with clients with injuries and her goals are to see people not only feel better but become stronger.

Benefits of Pilates! Book a Private Today for only $85.00!

It is no surprise either that this innovative fitness regimen created by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s has seen such enduring success and loyalty. Used and praised by the likes of the famed George Balanchine who made all of his dancers train under Jospeh Pilates, the form of exercise is now widely used by many professional athletes including hockey players and football players in order to create greater flexibility in their muscle-bound bodies.

Among the many advantages that one gains from practicing Pilates on a weekly basis are:

• greater strength and muscle tone
• more efficient respiratory, lymphatic and circulatory systems
• better posture
• a flatter stomach and trimmer waist
• improved flexibility
• less incidence of back pain
• increased joint mobility
• lower stress level

One of the biggest rewards that you will get from practicing is that you will be able to go about your daily business with less discomfort. You will be able to sit and stand for longer periods of time and you will have less pain from chronic ailments such as arthritis and back problems. You will also feel more in control mentally from a greater ability to handle stressful situations.

Pilates offers those who practice it on a regular basis so many superb benefits that it is not surprising that once a person tries the exercises, before long they get hooked on the feeling.

If you have never tried Pilates or are a novice looking to take your first class, then do not let yourself get intimidated by what looks like pretzel-like movements and medieval equipment best reserved for a dungeon, once you have mastered the basic moves you will see how easy and just how much fun Pilates really is.
