Pilates Reformer and Pilates Chair Classes

Pilates Reformer

If you are interested in a fascinating workout that helps you to improve core strength, postural alignment, flexibility and ease of movement, a Pilates Reformer class may be the perfect solution for you! Our reformer/tower units use spring resistance and allow for hundreds of exercises to be performed. Class sizes are small which allow the instructor to address the individual needs of the participants. 

The RAC offers multiple class levels from Introductory to Experienced. If you would like help in getting started, or in finding the appropriate level, please contact Tom Clemens.

  • Fee: $15 per class
  • Limit: Currently 5 per class
  • Location: Pilates Studio

Sign up: Sign up for individual classes through the RAC app under the "Live Group Fitness" Category. You can also call the Activities Desk at (507) 287-9300.

Inclement Weather Policy: If the Rochester Public Schools close for inclement weather, Pilates Reformer classes will not be held.


Pilates Chair

Despite the small size of the Pilates Chair, it is a total body experience that demands precision and strength. By using spring resistance and a smaller base of support, a deeper core connection and engagement is required in order to accomplish the exercises. There are times when the chair simply won’t let you cheat!

Currently we are not holding chair classes. If you have interest, please contact Tom Clemens.

Body-Centered Coaching

Body-centered coaching (BCC) is about using all your senses to create self-awareness of your body, emotions, thoughts, and feelings. The process of creating self-care skills from this heightened awareness is rewarding yet challenging.

BCC proposes personalized practices (yoga, tai chi, art, music, meditation) for self-discovery and to inform the coaching sessions. These practices will help people identify needs, get unstuck, and provide a road to flourishing.

Body-centered coaching offerings at RAC include one-on-one and group coaching.

Package Available:

One Hour Session: $70
Three One Hour Sessions: $180

Youth Tennis - ROGY Classes

ROGY Tennis Program

ROGY Tennis highlights our focus on the development and transition of our young players from Red to Orange to Green-dot, and ultimately to Yellow balls. We have created a unique ROGY Tennis Curriculum, combining the best of the USTA Net Generation Curriculum with additional age specific drills.

Our program focuses on the development of athletic skills such as movement, balance, sending and receiving, along with behavioral skills including teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship. Children will quickly learn the necessary skills to rally and enjoy the lifelong sport of tennis.

Contact: For questions about ROGY classes please contact Sabine Tetzloff at (507) 287-9308. Also contact Sabine:

  • To sign up for the proper skill level and not by a player’s age.
  • To sign up after the session begins. The fee will be prorated based on the start date.

Sign up: Parents must register players for each session in which they will participate. Register through the Activities Desk at (507) 287-9300 or through your Empower M.E. Member Login. If you are not set up see our Create a Member Login webpage.

There must be at least 3 players registered to run a junior tennis class. If there are 2 players, the length of the lesson may be reduced.

Class make ups: Make ups may be done within the current session if there is space available. Please contact Sabine Tetzloff  in order to guarantee space for your child. 

Progress Notes and Levels: Players will be evaluated on the skills introduced in their classes. Based on this evaluation, your child will receive a form with individualized progress notes along with a special prize on the last day of class.

Please keep in mind that a student does not always advance a level each session. Many factors such as attendance, coordination, growth, development (physical, mental, emotional and behavioral) and maturity level affect the student’s progression through levels.

Racquets: Players should provide their own age appropriate racquets for classes. Please label the racquet with your child’s name and phone number. Racquets are available for purchase at Thrive (507) 287-9330.

TENNIS (Ages 3-8)

Children ages 3-8 learn the basic tennis strokes on a 36-foot court with a Stage 1 Red ball, which bounces lower, allowing smaller kids to make proper contact with the ball. The goal of these classes is to let children explore the fun of movement, while developing their motor skills and learning the early stroke mechanics of volleys, ground strokes, and serves.

Mini RACquets Parent/Child Tennis
Children ages 3-4 work with their parents to develop fundamental motor skills necessary for tennis and other sports in this fun & creative weekly class. Balance, coordination, and sending/receiving skills are mastered and applied in a pre-rally tennis setting. 

RED Explorers/Pre-Rally
(Ages 4-7). Our beginners are grouped together to learn basic athletic and tennis skills in a group format. The focus will be on movement, sending/receiving skills, and tennis etiquette.
 
RED Rally
(Appropriate for 5-8 year-olds who have basic rally skills or have advanced through RED Pre-Rally). Players will be divided between several courts based on age, social and athletic development, and rally skills. Individuals may be moved between groups during a given class time upon mastering specific skills.

TENNIS (Ages 7.5-10)

As the children grow they are moved to a larger 60-foot tennis court and a Stage 2 Orange tennis ball. Lessons for our 7.5-10 year olds will consist of a combination of instruction, games, and non-elimination competitive play. The emphasis is still fun and learning through positive feedback. 

ORANGE Explorers/Pre-Rally
(Appropriate for 7.5-10 year-olds who have aged out of our Red Ball classes). Our beginning mid-elementary aged kids are taught in a team setting working together to achieve specific goals. More complex motor skills are introduced at this age. Basic tennis strokes and rules are introduced.

ROGY Tennis Program

ROGY Tennis highlights our focus on the development and transition of our young players from Red to Orange to Green-dot, and ultimately to Yellow balls. We have created a unique ROGY Tennis Curriculum, combining the best of the USTA Net Generation Curriculum with additional age specific drills.

Our program focuses on the development of athletic skills such as movement, balance, sending and receiving, along with behavioral skills including teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship. Children will quickly learn the necessary skills to rally and enjoy the lifelong sport of tennis.

Contact: For questions about ROGY classes please contact Sabine Tetzloff at (507) 287-9308. Also contact Sabine:

  • To sign up for the proper skill level and not by a player’s age.
  • To sign up after the session begins. The fee will be prorated based on the start date.

Sign up: Parents must register players for each session in which they will participate. Register through the Activities Desk at (507) 287-9300 or through your Empower M.E. Member Login. If you are not set up see our Create a Member Login webpage.

There must be at least 3 players registered to run a junior tennis class. If there are 2 players, the length of the lesson may be reduced.

Class make ups: Make ups may be done within the current session if there is space available. Please contact Sabine Tetzloff  in order to guarantee space for your child. 

Progress Notes and Levels: Players will be evaluated on the skills introduced in their classes. Based on this evaluation, your child will receive a form with individualized progress notes along with a special prize on the last day of class.

Please keep in mind that a student does not always advance a level each session. Many factors such as attendance, coordination, growth, development (physical, mental, emotional and behavioral) and maturity level affect the student’s progression through levels.

Racquets: Players should provide their own age appropriate racquets for classes. Please label the racquet with your child’s name and phone number. Racquets are available for purchase at Thrive (507) 287-9330.
