Christmas in July Sale

Up Stretch Pilates Studio is having a sale now through July 26th on ToeSox. These are the amazing little pairs of non-slip socks you've seen me strut around the studio and in class wearing. I love these socks for the greater balance and comfort they provide during my own Pilates practice.

For this limited time, each pair will be $12 each or 2 for $20! Don't miss out on your chance to get a pair of ToeSox, you won't find a better deal ANYWHERE else, not even online.

Call 412-983-7818 if you want me to hold a pair for you. You can pick yours up at the studio, too. Come in before they're gone!

Pilates with a friend!

Pilates is fun with a friend. Whether in a group class or a duet in the studio, having a friend to share your workout experience with can motivate you and challenge you. Regardless of your fitness level, Lisa will create a workout that both you and your patner will benefit and enjoy together.

When you team up with a friend to share an one-hour session, it becomes a more affordable and effective way to benefit from personal training.

I am so honored that ToeSox has allowed me to distribute their amazing Yoga-Pilates sox. ToeSox have a non-slip grip, much like the gripping material from your Pilates mat, so you do not even need a mat . . just wear your sox!

They come in 5 colors, Black, Gray, White, Tan & Pink. I'm taking advance orders for colors and size preferences.

In the meantime, I should have first order in by the end of March. They will be $13.50 each, or 2 pair for $26, plus 7% PA sales tax. I'll be posting more on ToeSox on the blog and my website soon.
