Athletes — whether professional or recreational — bring incredible strengths to their training, but they also face unique challenges. Repetitive movements, muscle imbalances, and the constant demand for peak performance can leave even the strongest athlete with gaps in stability, flexibility, or overall body awareness. While determination and discipline drive their success, many athletes lack the mind-body connection that can take their performance — and longevity — to the next level.

This workshop is designed to bridge that gap. Using the Pilates Chair and Foam Roller, Sheri Long will guide you through targeted exercises and innovative variations that address the athlete’s most important needs: strength, mobility, endurance, acceleration/deceleration, and precision. Through creative programming and hands-on practice, you’ll discover how Pilates can complement and elevate athletic performance.

Whether a professional or amateur the athlete is unique and different from our general population both physically and mentally they are so strong in some areas and at times weak in other areas. Quite often the athlete has some imbalances due to the repetitive movement required in order to reach excellence in their sport. Mentally the athlete is usually competitive, determined, dedicated.

During this Workshop we will focus on our athletic client, we will explore their needs, goals, and how we can help to achieve these goals, I will demonstrate and teach exercises from the Pilates repertoire and many variations.

This workshop goes beyond individual exercises to reveal the deeper system Joseph Pilates created. You’ll explore how foundational and intermediate Reformer movements progress seamlessly into advanced repertoire, giving you clarity on how to guide clients safely and effectively to the next level. Through focused practice, you’ll recognize key movement patterns, smooth transitions, and powerful teaching opportunities that support client success. Whether you’re refining your own skills or preparing clients for advanced work, this workshop provides the tools, insight, and confidence to elevate your teaching and expand your understanding of the Reformer system.
