“In life no matter what task that was put before me I always strived for excellence and perfection. Gratz quality and design has greatly enhanced my goal in achieving and delivering nothing but the best for both my clients and the goals that we set forth together. In my humble opinion I truly believe that there is no substitute when dealing with the entire Gratz Team and for those reasons coupled with the quality and precision of their equipment I consider Gratz to be the GO TO Vendor for all things Pilates."

STUDIO

At Body by Peter we believe in a holistic approach to Pilates training incorporating Mind, Body and Spirit. The Studio offers a “Scared Space” where the client can come and feel completely comfortable and at ease escaping the outside world. We offer a relaxing Lounge area, a fully stocked kitchen, a large private changing area with Dry Sauna and all complementary Facial hygiene and cleansing products. The client can experience all of these amenities while having their body changing goals set and met in building strength, developing a toned and slender body with a flat abdomen (Core, Powerhouse) all geared for correct posture, flexibility, agility and full range of motion. Through our strength and conditioning training the client quickly develops muscular endurance, balance control, power and the ability to perform difficult tasks that apply to all sports and lifestyle functions.

He now has a second residence in Eastern Europe where his exclusive client roster includes World Class Professional and Olympic Athletes, Ballet Dancers as well as the General Public and Physically Challenged clientele with workouts designed for spine conditions and all types of physical injuries and handicaps.
