ADKINS PILATES provides quality Pilates training to the Bloomington-Normal area in the form of private, semi-private, and small group training.
What is Pilates? Pilates focuses on engaging the mind with the body to create exercises that involve the entire body. Every exercise is performed with attention to the breath, proper form, and efficient movement patterns. Pilates strengthens the core, improves balance and body awareness, increases coordination, and decreases stress.
ADKINS PILATES provides contemporary Pilates instruction tailored to the needs of today's population. We aren't the hunters and gatherers we once were. Many of us commute to work and sit at our computers for most of the day. This results in shortened and tight hamstrings, hip flexors, and pectorals; weak and sore abdominals, backs, and shoulders. Some of us over-train certain muscles, resulting in muscle imbalances, inflexibility, and injury. Pilates brings back that balance, strength, and flexibility the body so deperately needs.
Pilates offers a refreshing mind-body workout while developing long and lean muscles, flat abdominals, and a strong back. Modifications to the exercises allow for the difficulty to be adjusted to any fitness level, from the beginner to the advanced. So whether your goal is to lose weight, improve your running time or golf game, strengthen your core, or increase flexibility, ADKINS PILATES has something for you.

Client testimonials:
"I have been taking Pilates with Lexy for more than three years. I took both mat and reformer classes with Lexy during both my pregnancies. Not only did her classes help me get back in shape after the babies were born, she was always great about modifying the Pilates moves while I was pregnant so I was exercising safely. She is a highly skilled instructor and always very patient with me."

"I have taken mat Pilates and reformer classes from Lexy Adkins for many years. The instruction is excellent as is her knowledge regarding proper technique. She expends much time and thought on class preparation. Each class is different from the others and always a great workout.
Recently I have suffered some health problems and, as I recover, began personal training sessions. Lexy is able to structure a great workout which helps to increase my strength and flexibility, but also recognizes my current limitations. I so appreciate her expertise and recommend Adkins Pilates to you.- Susie B.

"I am a 40 year old obese person that recently decided it was time to make some big changes in my health. I chose Pilates because I knew it was low impact and that is something I needed at my present weight. For an overweight person like myself there is very little core strength to support the back due to excess stomach weight. Since Pilates main focus is to target core strength I thought it would be the perfect starting point for me. I have been doing private sessions with Adkins Pilates for about a month and already I am experiencing results. I feel stronger both physically and emotionally. I am more balanced, centered and peaceful. I genuinely feel happier and optimistic about the future.
Adkins Pilates has given me the confidence I needed to transform my health and my life. It is hard to believe that an exercise program could do so much for your overall health. At first I was so scared that I could not do the work. I thought it would be too challenging and I would not stick with it but with the compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient Lexy Adkins, I have finally had a positive experience when working out. She has created a custom program for my body that is challenging but not discouraging. She makes me feel comfortable and secure which is important to a beginner especially one of my size. I highly recommend Adkins Pilates if you are looking for an exercise plan to change your body, mind, and soul.Give Adkins Pilates a try you will not be disappointed.- Sandy P.
