A few thoughts from the owner & primary instructor of Pilates Plus of Schaumburg.
Pilates Plus of Schaumburg is a small studio and is designed to be as stress-free as possible for the participants and instructors because stress brings imbalance. I want the first priority to be the wellness of the participant and instructors who choose to come to the studio. I do not want the sterile feel of a big wellness center or fitness club. It's purposely a very different environment from that. The rules are not rigid and input from all is encouraged because not one person has all the answers. I like collective reasoning. At Pilates Plus of Schaumburg we value the input of our participants and tailor classes to meet your needs and to fit your schedule. Through hand written surveys, e-mail surveys, and personal interaction we learn the needs of each individual student. I want every instructor to be very approachable. This is an environment where you will be encouraged and supported. Our classes are small and we devote many hours "behind the scenes" to the particulars of our studio. Every part of Pilates Plus of Schaumburg was chosen with great care to provide our clients with the best possible experience.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you! The tremendous amount of support Pilates Plus of Schaumburg has received from our participants and the community has been incredible. My goals of what Pilates Plus of Schaumburg would be have been met and exceeded. (And we're just getting started!) I can't wait to see the future of our studio.
Thank you!
Susan

Susan is always researching new methods, areas of interest, and techniques of fitness. Also, she continues her fitness education by attending many Fitness Arts & SCWFITNESS classes & workshops each year.
On a side note...
Susan taught Pilates throughout the entire pregnancy of her last child. If you'd like information about pregnancy & Pilates feel free to e-mail or ask during class! Susan currently lives in Schaumburg, IL and teaches Pilates, - Mind, Body, Motion-, and Mind, Body, & Pole at Pilates Plus of Schaumburg. She enjoys teaching these classes & enjoys making other Mind/Body classes available because of the difference these programs makes in the lives of others. The positive feedback she receives from the participants encourages her to continue her fitness education so that she can bring innovative ideas to her participants.
