Triangle Pilates & Cary Yoga Center is offering a new class that takes fitness and exercise to a whole new level.

“It’s the most effective new workout combining athletics, Pilates and dance into one, and we’re excited to be the first to implement it in our area,” said Patty Geiger, Xtend instructor and owner of Triangle Pilates & Cary Yoga Center.

Developed by Andrea Rogers, professional dancer and choreographer, Xtend is a 55-minute workout using a ballet bar, free weights and other props to sculpt the body.

“Our clients as well as myself have noticed that it works even the tiny muscles in your body and you get a chiseled effect in problem areas like the upper arms, thighs and glute area,” said Geiger.

They devote innumerable hours to providing information, transportation and comfort to people and animals in need. They are givers, doers and caretakers. They are the Volunteers of Western Wake.
