Wednesday, September 8, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER C5 FALL INSTRUCTION/BACK TO SCHOOL Pilates in Downtown Oakville By Stephanie MacLellan Ballet dancer Christine Markus danced professionally in both New York City and throughout Europe for 17 years. During that time she trained body limber to meet the harsh physical demands of professional dancing. Pilates (pronounced pil-ah-tees) Works™ is a non-impact exercise system that stretches, tones and length ens muscles. "Pilates has kept me from serious injury from rigorous daily rehearsal schedules," said Christine. As a matter of fact, Christine so believes in the system that she wanted to make it available at Classic Dance Studio Inc., the downtown dance studio she owns with her husband, professional ballet dancer Tibor Markus. After nine months of extensive Pilates training with Moira Stott at the Stott Conditioning Training Centre in Toronto, the Markus' now offer Pilates Works™ to the public producing profound results. They teach Pilates on a private basis. A thorough assessment of the client's condi tion is followed by a personalized program formulated by one of the Markus', based on the results. They then train the client on one of the machines that use movement and resistance, such as the "Universal Reformer", "Rehab Reformer", the "Cadillac or "Rack", the "Ladder Barrel" and other strengthening devices. Although Pilates Works™ was originally developed for dancers, Christine says the benefits for other athletes such as golfers, tennis or squash players, moms-to-be, figure skaters and even active children are tremendous. For more information about Pilates Works™ call 845-5914 or visit 282 Church St. in Downtown Oakville.

"I received a bachelor's in English and psychology. 1 was excited to start a career, but the jobs available to me weren't very appealing. They just weren't me," explained Sarah Reynolds, a successful ITI graduate. "Some o f my friends went to ITI. I was amazed at how fast they went through and what great careers they were getting into." " I had no computer skills whatsoever. It was a little scary, but the people at ITI were great. As long as you weren't afraid to ask questions, it was not a problem. Now I can develop applications in five different computer languages. I'm currently doing business and technical analysis on issues for clients. I like that I'm working with people, not in front o f a computer screen. And I have the chance to work throughout the US. Canada, even England with this company." To jump-start your career call ITI Information Technology Institute.
