Cleaning your equipment

You work hard to keep your clients' "core" healthy, but are you protecting them from potential germs and bacteria living on your pilates equipment?

Sanitizing equipment after each client is important. The STOTT PILATES Studio uses a mixture of tea tree oil and water, but another option is Kaizen Naturals Sanitizing Spray. Click for more info.
