Dear Client,
There are many reasons for fall being our favorite season: from
gorgeous foliage, to crisp evening walks, to such fun family
activities as apple-picking. This year we add anticipation to the
list. Our long-awaited TV debut in the Bravo TV's show "The Better
Half" is finally set to premier on October 24th at 10PM. It looks
like we'll finally be able to see the show after anxiously waiting
for it for over a year.
The
show served as a catalyst for my husband to appreciate first-hand
the value of regular exercise. I hope those of you who aren't
already regulars at our studio will stop by and check us out. After
all, there is a good reason why Bravo picked us - we offer a unique
and wonderful place to get fit, become more limber and relax while
doing it!

BETTER HALF - BravoTV features us
October 24th at 10PM
As most of you know, BravoTV contacted my husband and
I about a year ago to film an episode of a new show called
Better Half at our studio. The show pits
two couples against each other in a competition where one of the partners
has to teach her "better half" her trade in 48 hours. Then their partners,
the newly minted professionals, compete against each other in the field of
their mates.
In our case, I had to teach my husband David "fitness and exercise" in
two days, after which he had to teach an exercise class to a bunch of "gym
bunnies" at the Equinox Gym in New York. All this took place despite David's
insistence that it would be far more interesting and infinitely easier for
him to teach me acupuncture than for him to learn a fitness routine from me.
Antics ensued along the way, and we learned pretty quickly that "reality
television" is as far removed from reality, as our planet is from the sun
that heats it. Although there is footage of my husband wearing a headset
while screaming out counts and performing some fancy footwork, we did draw
the line at him wearing a sweat band, and a track-suit from the 1970's.

We had a blast interacting with the show's hostess, Susie Essman from Curb Your
Enthusiasm, and even had some interesting moments with "celebrity judges"
like Jackie Warner from Bravo's show "WorkOut." Although the show has
already started, our episode premiers on
October 24th at 10PM.
If that time is too late for you not to worry.
Bravo will repeat the episode
on:
Thursday 10/25 @ 10AM
Friday 10/26 @ 8AM
Saturday 10/27 @ 1:30PM
Monday 10/29 @ 1PM
Tuesday 10/30 @ 11AM
Tuesday 10/30 @ 8PM
Although we can't tell you what happened (due to a 200 page contract
that included among the clauses the right of BravoTV to "actively
misrepresent us" and "severe penalties" if we revealed the outcome of the
show) we can tell you that it will be a rather humorous hour. So enjoy the
show and think of it next time you are at our studio! |
TOWER CLASSES ROOM
FOR YOU!
|

Over the past few years the Tower classes have been found by our clients to be a
great option for those who want the benefit of using Pilates equipment at the
price of a group class.
As these classes got more popular and got more difficult to get into we have
added more classes. Currently we offer a Tower class six days a week, with many
of them taking place on weekends and evenings.
You can click on this
link to be taken to our website where you can
sign up directly for one of these amazing classes. The full list of active
classes is listed below, with a star next to the ones that commonly have an open
spot or two.
Even if the class you are interested in a class that doesn't have a star next to it,
click on it anyway and try to sign up. We have two spots open on the
waitlist for every class and there are frequently cancellations, which means
you have a high likelihood of joining the class from the waitlist.

Dear
Client,
I really hope that you've enjoyed this
newsletter and that you get to see Better Half. It
was very stressful and
a bizarre experience
while we were followed around by 8 people with cameras, but David and I
definitely had fun with it. I doubt we would ever do it again, but it was
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us and our studio and we had a blast with
it. There were tons of very funny things that happened along the way (which will
most certainly be cut) but we can't really talk about them until the show airs.
Looking forward to seeing you soon in the studio,
Deborah Harris
