Momentous Member Mentions
November 27 2009 by admin.
On November 11, 2009, IM=X member Karyn Corti became the proud sister-in-law of the 77th Rockefeller Tree owner. This year’s tree, 50 years old, 40 feet across and 76 feet tall, will be lit on December 2, then will be donated to Habitat for Humanity to build a house in it’s home state of Connecticut.
In other member news, Emily (new to IM=X , with a new 4-month-old at home, if you haven’t met her yet!) is the proud aunt of Miss California 2009. She will be taking a pilates break in the spring to cheer on her niece, Emma Baker, in the Miss Teen pagent in Las Vegas.
Congratulations to Karyn and Emily!

IGFY: Start Exercising Now
November 18 2009 by admin.
As soon as you begin taking control of your health, you will begin investing in your future.
A recent study in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who gain weight early in life may be at a greater risk for mobility problems later in life, compared to people with lower weights in their younger years.
The heavier a person is, the more stress their body undergoes to move that mass. A web of soft connective tissue called fascia provides support and protection all over your body. Lots of fascia is used to stabilize bodies with lots of mass, and this extra support can hinder joint mobility.
In addition to the obvious joints, like the shoulders, knees and hips, extra fascia can lessen the mobility of the vertebral joints (think low back and neck), as well as the feet and ankles.
At IM=X Pilates Blue Bell, we understand pilates doesn’t connect with everyone. However, encourage your friends and loved ones to do something, anything that gets them moving. We are happy to teach our fundamentals and stabilizing techniques to take back to gym, the street, the court, the course or anywhere else you get your daily activity.
This study was reported in the July-August 2009 IDEA Fitness Journal.
