Hoboken Now Offers the Most Innovative Barre Workout
Renaissance Pilates Xtends a Fitness Invitation to Local Residents

(Hoboken, NJ)--Monday, April 20th, 2009, Renaissance Pilates announces the launch of an amazing new fitness program that will inspire Hoboken residents to “get in the best shape of their life.” Danielle Buccellato, owner, is opening her doors for newcomers and current Renaissance Devotees to take their first Xtend™ class free of charge. “It’s the most effective new Barre workout combining athletics, pilates and dance into one and we’re excited to be the first to implement it in the NJ and NYC area.” Danielle noted.

Renaissance Pilates, located at 104 Hudson Street, offers beginner mat and apparatus workshops, mat classes, group and private apparatus sessions and pre-natal Pilates. Beginning April 13th, the debut of Xtend™ is expected to create a surplus of interested participants due to its result-driven program.

“Fitness locations across the country that offer this workout are brimming with Xtend loyalists. Its blend of Pilates Core principles and Ballet Barre work offer the best of both worlds, while enhancing overall results for the entire body. The most amazing aspect of Xtend™ is that anyone can learn it, and then master it,” Buccellato commented.

Xtend™ is the brainchild of Andrea Rogers, a Pilates expert and former professional dancer from Boca Raton, FL. The 55-minute class is Pilates and dance AMPlified; applying unique exercises, music, weighted balls, yoga like straps and the ballet barre. The system focuses on sculpting the body proportionally, creating a long and lean physique without added bulk, and appeals to all ages and fitness levels.

“Xtend™ is the answer to living a happier, healthier life with your ideal body shape. We’re excited to see the transformations of the Renaissance clients. When they thought they couldn’t look and feel any better than they already do, in walks Xtend™,” stated Andrea Rogers, founder. “… and for the women who always wanted that dancer-like physique, this one’s for you!”

All Hoboken residents are invited to take their first Xtend™ class free of charge. To take advantage of this offer, please call 201-386-1141 or email rpinfo@renaissancepilates.com subject: FREE Xtend™ Class. To view a full class schedule, please visit http://www.renaissancepilates.com/.

3rd year success story-Pilates in the Park

April 2009 marks the 3rd year anniversary of Renaissance Pilates' super spring shape up extravaganza-Pilates in the Park. This year, we had even more to celebrate with a non-profit theme of giving back and donating money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, namely Stanley Zolek and the CF Great Strides Walk. Stanley is near and dear to the Renaissance family and this year, we made it a point to help him grow stronger, while we got stronger in the park. Gift donations were received from Bliss Spa and Bobbi Brown makeup and over $3,000 was raised for http://www.ilovestanleynyc.com/. Congratulations to approximately 60 fit and fab Renaissance fans as they shaped up for summer on the gorgeous Manhattan waterfront. WATCH THE VIDEO AT THE EVENT HERE.
