Pilates Offered at GRMC Wellness and Fitness


GRMC now offer Pilates class twice a week at Postels Community Health Park’s group exercise room. Classes will be Tuesday and Thursday, noon to 12:45 p.m., beginning February 26.

Pilates is for everyone...any age or fitness level. It is fun and challenging... You will feel the effects of the exercises immediately and will continue to build on your strength, endurance, and overall proficiency of executing the exercises over time.

Pilates was developed in the late 1800s and has been used by countless individuals starting from the medically infirm to dancers and eventually to the general public as a means to improve strength, flexibility and endurance, without risking injury or building bulk.

The new instructor is Desiree Severidt. Severidt moved to Grinnell last July with her family. She’s a former collegiate softball and volleyball player and lifelong fitness enthusiast. Her experience includes training in Pilates nearly four years ago. She became a firm believer in the Pilates methods based on the quick and dramatic strength improvements received over a short period of time. 

Grinnell Regional Fitness and Wellness Services offers a full spectrum of wellness and fitness options from group exercise, cardiovascular building treadmills, steppers, and bikes, and strengthening equipment. For information on membership options, call the fitness center at 641-236-2999.
