No Clubs, No Problem — Just Pilates That Work
At par 5 Pilates, we welcome golfers, non-golfers, and everyone in between.
"While our name gives a nod to golf, par 5 Pilates is for everybody — not just golfers. I created Par 5 Pilates because I saw how much Pilates helped my golf game, but I realized these benefits go way beyond the course. Today, I teach people of all backgrounds office workers, new moms to retirees and the transformations I see are what keep me inspired.
If you're curious, you're welcome here.
Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just looking to move better and feel stronger, my classes are designed to help you build core strength, improve flexibility, and support your overall wellness.
So, no golf experience necessary — just a willingness to move".
-Jenny Ravalo

About
Our Mission

“The golf swing represents one element that contributes to lower back injuries and muscular imbalances because of its asymmetric nature.
The risk of developing LBP increases when there are technique flaws present in the swing that cause the improper loading of spinal structures.
With adequate physical preparation, the body can adapt to and manage the stresses of the golf swing. However, injury risk further increases if a golfer lacks adequate mobility. Because improper golf swing technique compounds musculoskeletal stresses experienced during the swing, technique flaws are a leading contributor to LBP in amateur golfers”.
- Edwards N, Dickin C, Wang H, Low Back Pain and Golf: A Review
of Biomechanical Risk Factors, Sports Medicine and Health Science
Poor mechanics make the explosive nature of the game harder on the body.
While swinging the golf club you are not only rotating. Our body is extending, side bending, and flexing throughout the golf swing.
As a consequence, too much lumbar rotation, lateral flexion and extension at the top of a backswing and through the explosive force of the downswing and follow through can increase the occurrence of injury and pain in the: lower back, shoulder rotator cuff, elbow, knee and wrist.
Therefore, good posture, good range of motion and mobility in the thoracic spine, hips and shoulders can reduce modified tendencies in the swing.
One way to avoid common injuries in golf is to improve your golf swing mechanics with Pilates.
With regular Pilates exercise working on corrective posture, alignment, mobility and muscle strength, paired with proper golf swing mechanics you can avoid the traumatic injuries that golfers suffer.
