From the reviews
Amie Ross is a Master Pilates Instructor and one of the best "body mechanics" in Wichita. Drop in for a Group Class or schedule a Private Lesson on The Reformer or The Cadillac. You are unique, your workout should be too!
I live on a farm with horses. That means moving 50-60 lb. hay bales around. When I started taking Pilates classes at Highway 54 Pilates with Amie, I could no longer lift those bales. I also couldn't lift my arms above my head.
Amie is extremely knowledgeable and since starting this in June, I have noticed drastic changes to my body (internally and externally). I love that this pilates studio offers a variety of classes and that the focus is more on the practice and client than the cute clothing one might wear to workout.
I am so happy I found Highway 65 Pilates! I was taking Pilates classes at a local gym where the equipment was in poor condition. I took advantage of a free session with Amie & knew I had found the right place.
Teacher training at Highway 54 Pilates
Highway 54 Pilates comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first barre class at Highway 54 Pilates
New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
