The Pilates Club at The Lazy Swan Golf & Country Club Village, with its stunning, panoramic views, features daily Pilates mat and equipment classes in a peaceful, Zen-like environment found nowhere else in the Hudson Valley. The portfolio of mat classes, however, is not limited to Pilates. The Pilates Club features a roster of 20 classes per week including Zumba, with plans to expand offerings in Dance to include a Ballet Barre class. The classical style Pilates equipment classes are taught on all major Pilates Apparatus, including Reformer, Tower, Barrel, Exo-Chair and Cadillac.

The 2,700-square-foot Pilates Club is also equipped with a tranquil massage room, with Bodywork Practitioners and Licensed Massage Therapists offering Swedish, Reiki, Polarity and Cranial-Sacral work.

While you wait for your appointment, enjoy a cup of herbal tea in our lounge area. After your workout, you will also find an eclectic array of spa entrees, salads and desserts at The Clubhouse Grill Restaurant, which features a Continental menu with Italian flourishes.


What is Pilates?

Pilates is an exercise form developed by Joseph Pilates to strengthen the core muscles of the abdomen and back and improve control in the large joints, allowing for a full range of efficient movement. Pilates is a safe, sensible exercise program for all body types and fitness levels. Classes are conducted on mats in a group setting or on equipment in a private or semi-private setting. The repertoire of more than 300 exercises is designed to build core strength and flexibility, develop stronger, leaner muscles, and increase your stamina. Pilates works the entire body, stressing body awareness, breathing, precision, and concentration of both mind and body during workouts. And it’s fun!

The Pilates method of exercise was developed by German-born Joseph Pilates, who...

“Went to England in 1912, where he worked as a self-defense instructor for detectives at Scotland Yard. At the outbreak of World War I, Joe was interned as an "enemy alien" with other German nationals. During his internment, Joe refined his ideas and trained other internees in his system of exercise. He rigged springs to hospital beds, enabling bedridden patients to exercise against resistance, an innovation that led to his later equipment designs. An influenza epidemic struck England in 1918, killing thousands of people, but not a single one of Joe's trainees died. This, he claimed, testified to the effectiveness of his system.” ~ www.balancedbody.com.

Joseph Pilates moved to New York City and opened a studio in 1926, which became immediately popular with athletes and dancers. After decades of success in that specialized field, the Pilates Method has reached the mainstream and provides thousands of people with increased health and fitness.

What are Pilates mat classes?

Mat classes deliver exercises on cushioned mats, on the floor. The exercises bring participants into various orientations: lying, sitting up, side lying and standing. The classes generally include no more than 12 participants at The Pilates Club, so you will still receive corrections and attention to your safety. There is never a dull moment in a mat class!
What are Pilates equipment classes?

Equipment classes are one-on-one or semi-private (2-3 people) classes with an instructor. The pieces of equipment used are the Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, EXO-Chair and Ladder Barrel. All of our equipment was built by Balanced Body. With the exception of the Ladder Barrel, the machines utilize springs that create tension against your body weight. The resistance provides additional challenge as well as stability and muscular feedback.
Is Pilates for me?

Pilates is an ideal exercise program for virtually everyone -- no matter what your body type or physical limitations. Instructors at The Pilates Club are extremely well versed in anatomy as well as the Pilates Repertoire, and make modifications where necessary. Workouts are safe and challenging for people of all levels of physical fitness. You’ll find that after just a few classes you’ll become aware of your improved posture, grace and overall quality of movement. Equally as important, you’ll simply feel stronger and leaner.


Core strength is the cornerstone of Pilates. To develop core strength, your Pilates instructors will teach you how to engage your abdominal and back muscles effectively without straining. Six principles guide Pilates’ workouts at The Pilates Club: Breath, safe head and neck movement, abdominal engagement, shoulder stability, independent movement of the legs and pelvis, and use of the pelvic floor -- all of which add up to stronger bodies, better posture, cleaner movement and deeper connection between the body and the mind.
