Renovations, expansion at Chester Pilates studio

Made to Move Pilates of Chester recently underwent renovations, creating a larger and more inviting exercise space.

The two-year-old business on School Street had been an office with three rooms and carpeted floors. But in December, owner Patty Nader removed walls and replaced the carpeting with cork flooring, which absorbs impact and is hygienic.

The studio added Pilates springboards, a wall apparatus that is used in several types of Pilates exercises. The studio is offering group Springs classes using the springboards, the Pilates trapeze table and tower. Other classes offered are Pilates matwork and barre classes.

Nader, a certified Pilates instructor, is also a personal trainer and exercise physiologist certified by the American College of Sports Medicine. Pilates is a low/no impact exercise offering body awareness, strength and flexibility developed  more than 100 years ago by Joseph Pilates.
