Offers Free trial workout week, May 16-21, 2011

Mount Pleasant, S.C. (May 12, 2011) – Lowcountry Power Pilates, LLC today announced the launch of its new program, Lowcountry Barre, with a free introductory week. Lowcountry Barre is a unique workout that blends the Barre method with Pilates ball and mat, Plyometrics, Yoga stretching and intense bursts of cardio. Free trial workouts are available to the public from Monday, May 16, to Saturday, May 21.

“We are excited to offer Barre to the Charleston community as it’s the perfect complement to our studio’s services,” said Joyce Olender, owner of Lowcountry Power Pilates. “This class is filled with moves that are challenging and fun for everyone. We’ve focused on combining components of various methods to help our client’s improve strength, flexibility and range of motion, while targeting areas that need it the most – legs, seat hips and abs.”

Olender opened Lowcountry Power Pilates in 2005 after using Pilates to help strengthen her injured back. As a certified Power Pilates trainer, she specializes in helping clients with special needs, such as pre and post-natal conditions, as well as those recovering from injury, surgery or stroke.

“Our goal is to help our clients feel and look the best they can. Barre will help them get there,” said Olender. “We worked with East Shore Athletic Club to create one of the largest barre studios in our community – accommodating up to 25 people.”

Barre is a 55-minute non-impact, full-body workout. Classes will be held at East Shore Athletic Club – Park West Location in Yoga Room – located at 3301 Stockdale Street Mt. Pleasant, SC 29466.
