You asked and we listened! We are now carrying @crushedjuicery at both locations. Crushed is local, cold-pressed and organic. And did we mention it tastes delicious? Grab one the next time you take a class for the perfect post-workout treat.⠀
You are what you eat. This year aim to be bright, vibrant, and full of goodness and life. Take the first step to a healthier you this year by grabbing a @crushedjuicery from one of our studios. Photo Credit: @crushedjuicery
Stacey @theinvertedcitizen is one of the bright beautiful faces you can expect to see at Citizen. Her love of yoga has transferred to the reformer, and you'll now find her on the schedule teaching Pilates STRETCH. She's an inspirational Citizen and we're proud to have her on the team.
Meet Bailey (@bailey.grich), she’s a sweetheart instructor but she’ll make you sweat! Her workouts are a challenge, but she’ll make you feel like a champ once class is over.
Fueling your workout is so important! We've been loving these green acai bowls from @revolucionhtx. They are just a few minutes away from our Heights Blvd location.
Thank you to everyone who came out for our Citizen Run Club this morning! It was a little rainy, but we had a great time! If you missed today don't worry, we'll be having run club every 3rd Saturday of the month moving forward!
Many will start, but few will finish. Begin with the end in mind, and go for it.
We may be closed for a snow day today, but THIS Saturday, January 20th, we'll be hosting Citizen Run Club! Meet us @boomtowncoffee at 8 AM and from there we'll do an easy 3 mile run down Heights Blvd. Not a runner? Walkers are welcome too! After the run we'll have coffee and breakfast together. We can't wait to see you all outside the studio.
Building healthy bodies while building meaningful relationships is what we’re all about. At Citizen Pilates we give you more than a class, we give you a community. Here, everyone is a Citizen.
We recently launched Citizen Recharge; a small group transformative program based on principles upheld by our founder, Jess Hughes (@theogcitizen). Hectic living and a healthy lifestyle are possible, but it takes planning and support. We show you how, the Citizen way.
With every class you’re not only crushing goals, you’re conquering limiting beliefs. Your mind says you can’t, but your body knows you can. You are so much stronger than you know.
Jess @theogcitizen ensures that all Citizens move with purpose and get the most out of every class. Proper form makes the difference between getting the most out of every movement, and just going through the movements. Have questions? #JustAskJess in the comments.
Happy New Year Citizens! No matter what happened in 2017, now is the time to make a new start. We’re proud to launch Citizen Recharge to help you crush it in 2018. Link to full details and requirements in our profile!
Nothing is gained when nothing is given. Our citizens are crushing goals everyday, and everyday they’re putting in the work to make it happen.
