There seems to be snow everywhere this time of year, so why not take advantage of this winter wonderland and get outside. Step away from technology, bundle up and set out into the elements. Take a long walk, go cross country skiing or maybe take the kids sledding. What every you do, you will clear your mind, exercise and have fun!
Of course, a warm winter treat will be in store upon your return.

Willow Wellness Studio is a fully equipped studio offering Gyrotonic, Gyrokinesis, and Pilates instruction as well as massage. A visit to Willow is a vacation from the constant demands of daily life. We offer private, semi-private, and small group training with an emphasis on personalized attention to help you get the most out of your workout.

Our Pilates group classes also feature a variety of small equipment including foam rollers, arc barrels, large stability balls, resistance bands, weighted balls, resistance rings, and small balls so that your workout will never be dull!
