BODYWISDOM MEDIA INC. LAUNCHES THE LATEST ADDITION IN ITS INTERACTIVE FITNESS DVD SERIES

–First Pilates DVD In Its Interactive Series Offers Added Value To Consumers–

BETHESDA, MD — March 16, 2003 – Celebrities such as Madonna, Julia Roberts and Gwyneth Paltrow rave about the benefits of Pilates. Now, thanks to BodyWisdom Media, consumers can create their own customized Pilates workout through the new “Pilates Complete for Everyone” DVD. Available now at retail, the first Pilates workout from BodyWisdom Media’s “Interactive Fitness” series, this innovative program capitalizes on DVD technology to offer consumers more than 35 different Pilates workouts, covering five fitness levels from beginner to advanced. Consumers can select the programs best suited to their current fitness level, adding or eliminating segments to their Pilates regime depending on their personal fitness goals.

“Pilates Complete for Everyone” revolutionizes the practice of Pilates for in-home workouts. Unlike other videos that may contain one or two workouts, this new DVD accommodates virtually every fitness need. The flexibility to create a customized Pilates fitness regime based on the dozens of varied workouts provides consumers with added value. As personal fitness goals such as getting into shape, losing weight, relieving stress, becoming stronger and more flexible or increasing energy are realized, the consumer can change and expand his or her customized “Pilates Complete for Everyone” fitness regime. The DVD also resolves issues of scheduling, limited budgets and intimidating classes by allowing consumers to learn and enjoy the Pilates experience in the privacy of their own home. These added values ensure that “Pilates Complete for Everyone” will be an invaluable fitness resource for years to come.

“Based on the growing popularity of Pilates as a fitness concept combined with our success with the interactive yoga series, we decided the time was right to create an interactive Pilates DVD. Our broad range of ‘Interactive Fitness’ products are designed to meet the needs of people in all walks of life as they commit to improving their personal fitness and well being,” said Mike Wohl, found and president of Body Wisdom Media Inc. “‘Pilates Complete for Everyone’ is designed to bring Pilates, which provides an extraordinary workout, to a whole new audience that might be turned off by the crowds or high cost of attending a Pilates class at their local fitness studio.”

Karen Garcia, a certified Pilates instructor, is known nationally for her warm, yet invigorating style of teaching which has helped thousands of students around the country reap the wonderful benefits of the Pilates system.

As a professional dancer, Garcia toured with several ballet companies, including the Washington, Milwaukee and Dallas Ballets before a career ending knee injury left her unable to walk without a cane. Her significant physical recovery as well as numerous other benefits resulting from her study of Pilates compelled her to dedicate her career to helping others learn this amazing system. She owns Studio Body LogicĀ® which has several locations in Northern Virginia and Maryland.

“Pilates Complete for Everyone” offers enjoyable and challenging workouts for beginning, intermediate and advanced students interested in transforming how their bodies look, feel and perform. Originated by Joseph Pilates, the workouts are credited with achieving sleek muscle tone and flexibility as well as increasing stamina and overall fitness, which is why so many dancers and actors swear by Pilates.

Utilizing proprietary DVD software created by BodyWisdom Media Inc., the company has produced the “Interactive Yoga DVD Series,” which includes “Yoga for Athletes,” “Yoga for Inflexible People,” “Yoga for Every Body” and “15 Minute Office Yoga.” BodyWisdom Media Inc. uses DVD software to its fullest potential and capabilities to create video workouts that are far more comprehensive, detailed, customizable and filled with variety than any others currently on the market.

BodyWisdom Media Inc. is based in Bethesda, Maryland. The company’s product is available at major retail outlets nationwide or visit the company’s website at http://www.bodywisdommedia.com. For phone orders, call 877-746-8077.

Innergy Pilates and Yoga Studio, Inc. is the First Studio of its Kind to Open in Paulding County, Dallas, Georgia

Dallas, GA (PRWEB) April 30, 2006

Innergy Pilates and Yoga Studio, Inc. is the first pilates and yoga studio to open in Dallas, GA. Owner and Instructor, Jennifer Pridmore who is a Dallas Resident states, My goal was to bring something unique to my county that has never existed here before. There are pilates and yoga classes taught at fitness gyms, parks, etc. but nothing can compare to what my studio offers. Uniqueness is definitely something you will find at Innergy Studio. At Innergy, you can take a class, get your eyebrows waxed, get a facial or a massage, buy gifts for just about everyone on your list from candles, lotions, teas, smoothies, and more. Don’t forget to check out their trendy logo apparel! “I like to think of my studio as a pilates and yoga spa,” states Mrs. Pridmore.

When you walk into the lobby of the studio, you will instantly become refreshed by the light scents of the candles, at home spa treatments and natural skincare products that are available for purchase in the lobby. Students seem to feel a sense of comfort and tranquility at Innergy. My classes are designed to give that personal touch. I know every one of my students names, and it will always remain that way. I do not pile in large amounts of students into my classes. My absolute maximum in a class is 15. This allows me to focus on the precision of each students movement and to make sure that they are properly positioned right down to their fingertips. This is to allow the most benefit of the precise pilates and yoga movements

Holding many certifications, Mrs. Pridmore is certified through NESTA (National Endurance and Sports Trainers Association) in both Pilates and Yoga. She also has a background as a nurse, which also gives her students a sense of comfort. Soon after Jennifer opened the studio, she hired another instructor, who trained through Jennifer and she also became certified with NESTA. There are currently 3 apprentices training to become pilates and yoga instructors at Innergy. Jennifer is hoping to certify the apprentices by the studios 1 year anniversary as well as add on 1 more classroom and 2 spa tanning rooms this August 2006.

Offering Pilates and Yoga classes for all ages and abilities. All classes are taught in 6-week sessions. This allows the busy adult to commit to 6 weeks of classes, and get the most out of their classes by sticking to a routine that works best with their schedule. Offering both pilates and yoga classes 6 days per week, there is something to suit just about everyones schedule.

Exciting new pilates and yoga classes this summer will include: Legs and Gleuts class, 6- pack abs class, and cardiogalates (yoga and pilates kicked up a notch with cardio) class. All of these classes will focus on pilates and yoga movements that work most effectively for that specific muscle group. Also, a Complete Fitness Boot Camp is offered. This camp consists of pilates and yoga movements, along with basic cardio movements. Lasting 6 weeks, like the pilates and yoga classes, students that enlist in the Boot Camp will find faster results due to the level of intensity. The focus in Boot Camp is to challenge your body through the pilates core conditioning, yoga stretches and basic, but intense cardiovascular movements Jennifer also mentioned that the Boot Camp is for all fitness levels. Modifications can be made to accommodate previous injuries, knee, back and ankle issues, etc.

In addition to pilates and yoga classes, the studio offers massage and reflexology services, spa treatments, natural manicures and pedicures, waxing, relaxing spa tanning, and has a supervised playroom for children while the parent takes a class. Offering the playroom to my students is one benefit that I had to offer. As a mother of 2 young daughters, I know what it is like to want to take a class, and do something for yourself, but finding someone or somewhere to take care of your children that you can trust can be somewhat of a challenge. The playroom is staffed with caring, patient caregivers that play with children during the 45 minute or 1 hour class. This allows the mom to relax and enjoy her time, knowing that her child is right down the hall, having fun, too! The children love to come to the playroom where they sing, make crafts, play dress up, watch movies and eat healthy snacks.

Upcoming events at the studio will include: Summer classes will start May 15th and will run through August 5th. Registration is going on now. Call the studio to sign up. All classes must be preregistered for. Saturday June 24th, Consignment sale and Business Expo to be held at the studio. This event is to benefit the Breast Cancer 3-day walk that will be held in Atlanta October 20 22nd 2006. Jennifer, along with her Office Manager, Joelle are participating in the 3-day walk in support of a close friend of Joelle, who is battling breast cancer. To sign up as a vendor for the event, please call the studio.

Spa Princess Camp is going to be offered for 2 weeks this summer at Innergy. June 12 16 and July 17 21. Offered for girls ages 5 and up. Activities will include: facials manicures, pedicures, princess games, princess crafts, healthy snacks will all be provided. There is a full day and half day option. Please call to register.

The studio also offers group events such as relaxation retreats, self-defense classes, and “girls night out” which includes, dinner, yoga, pedicures and manicures.

Spa Princess parties are the latest hit at Innergy. Offered for girls starting at age 4. There are many packages to choose from including “me and my girl” where each guest brings their favorite doll, and makes a friendship bracelet for the doll and the party guest, mini cupcakes are even provided for the doll, “princess or queen for a day” Prices are very reasonable to fit any budget. The Spa Princess party is one that every girl should experience. Activities at the party can include crafts, such as jewelry making, manicures and pedicures, facials, dancing, games, and more. There are many additional items that the parents can choose to customize the party to make it exactly what their princess would like. One option that is something that will really make the day complete is the limo service. All of the princesses will arrive to the studio in a limousine. All inclusive packages are also offered and that includes the birthday cake! Please call the studio for further information.

My studio is very unique. I teach all levels of pilates mat and ball classes, sport yoga, relaxation yoga, Fitness Boot Camp, and many other classes that I designed that are primarily based on the principles of pilates and yoga.

Pilates was founded by Joseph Pilates and has grown in popularity over the past few years. By using the bodys own resistance, you are able to see the results from my classes much faster than using fancy machines at a gym. It is also much more rewarding to know that you can transform your body, and mind through pilates and yoga. My pilates and yoga classes are designed to go hand-in-hand with each other.
