Harmony Pilates Studio, Integrative Movement and Yoga,

Harmony Pilates Studio has been a local Apex business for 2 ½ years.  With a steady growth, and loyal clientele, the business of health & wellness has proven to be unsteadied by the current economy for this local business.  “Apex is becoming such a charming town for locals & visitors”, says Harmony’s owner and Certified Pilates Instructor, Susan Simon.  “I felt it was the perfect location for our expansion, bringing us closer to the center of our community and other businesses that are compatible with our services and clientele.  I don’t think there’s another studio like us in this area.  We are unique in the services we offer, the attention and care we are able to offer our students because we keep our class sizes to a minimum, and because we focus not just on fitness, but on wellness and the whole individual.”

Making a life change to one’s health as related to his/her fitness and wellbeing is what Harmony Pilates Studio offers its students.  A focus on individualized, skilled, and compassionate instruction is the foundation of the owner’s philosophy.  Susan Simon, Owner of Harmony and Certified Professional Pilates Instructor, is building her business on this standard of service.  Her students/clients recognize this and are building their “core” programming around this philosophy.

Through their expansion Harmony Pilates Studio will be incorporating its new Yoga program as well as many other movement and dance modalities “We aim to expose a wide population to the benefits of learning many modes of movement, combined with an integrative and healthful approach to one’s movement capabilities. Through intelligent movement instruction one is more able and inclined to make healthy lifestyle choices for oneself for living a more harmonious life.”

Our doors are open to all ages & populations of fitness, movement professionals & non professionals, as well as individuals with special needs.  We provide a serene, non competitive environment to invoke wellness.  Privates and Semi-Privates are also available by appointment.

June 15-27, 2009 we will be offering FREE classes to encourage the local community to experience our services during our “Open Studio” weeks! 

(Schedules are available online or at the studio)

For two weeks, over 20 select classes including Belly Dancing, Flamenco, Pilates for Seniors, Qigong for Health & Longevity, Yoga, Mind-B-Fit (a meditative approach to resistance training), and Kid’s dance & fitness classes will be offered to our current students and to visitors free of charge.  Additionally, local health & wellness businesses such as JUSTNEEM, The Daily Shake, and Monavie will be in house to offer samplings and information about their products.  We encourage you to bring you friends to our new, gorgeous studio located in the historic, restored Salem Street Promenade with Blue Tiger Gift Shop, EnV Salon & Color Bar, and Common Grounds Coffee Shop and enjoy these services. 

Harmony knows the importance of giving back.  It supports other local artists by having their works on display against the studio’s backdrop of 100 year old brick preserved from the original structure of the building in a gallery format.  Currently on display are photographs from Pure Expressions Photography, a local award winning Apex business & fellow chamber member.  Recently, Harmony hosted and organized The Apex Ball, a local annual high profile fundraising event to raise money for cancer research.   In this, their first year, they raised $6000 for the Dana Farber Institute of Cancer Research.
