  • Welcome to Sally Shaps Pilates. My private studio in Los Altos offers me the opportunity to teach on a one-to-one basis and give you the attention you deserve. I tailor each session to your specific needs. Regardless of your current level of fitness, Pilates can help improve your strength, flexibility and coordination. It's the perfect combination of body conditioning and injury prevention.

    Developed in the 1920s by the legendary physical trainer and founder of The Pilates Studio, Joseph H Pilates, the method is an exercise system which focused on improving flexibility and strength for the total body without building bulk. Utilizing Pilates equipment, the reformer, the session includes the element of weight training, therefore each workout is a great way to help you reach and maintain your fitness and health goals.

    I am a STOTT Pilates trained instructor in Essential and Intermediate Reformer, Essential and Intermediate Mat, and trained in Injuries and Special Populations. My approach is geared toward providing a challenging, energizing workout. Throughout the hour-long session, I utilize several pieces of equipment. I believe variety is the key to building strength and keeping your attention and energy flowing.
    I welcome you to call for a trial session. 650. 814.3989
