Creation, dedication, and motivation are the driving forces that have brought us to where we are and the forces that will take you to where you want to go. We are Mind to Motion, or M2M. We have provided resistance training for Green Valley residents and visitors since 1996 and experienced impressive results with our clients. However, we knew there was something more out there to offer our present and future clientele. We believed we had explored the maximum benefits available from traditional training methods when we discovered Pilates. We refer to ourselves as Pilates Plus because we came to Pilates from a clinical exercise background and use Pilates extensively as a tool to help a wide range of clientele maintain, enhance or regain their quality of life. M2M is perhaps the most unique facility in the United States in that our clients range in age from 16 years to 97.
One of, if not the most important tool we possess is our ability to listen. The gentleman pictured below, Dr. Ed Kaufman, is a retired doctor from Minnesota. He was asked what he considered to be the greatest asset a health care professional could have and he responded, "Time. If you listen to patients long enough they will tell you what's wrong with them." That is exactly what we do. In an electronic sense, we have made it possible for you through our website via a message board located at the bottom of our Straight Talk page (a sub menu of our Clincial Exercise Page) to share your experiences with health care, exercise and/or your own health issues. You put it here and we and a whole community of people are here to listen and respond. It's our way of putting out the welcome mat and let you know we are ready to listen!

Instructors at M2M
¯address the musculoskeletal aspects of chronic issues and problems.
¯assist and instruct clients to integrate exercises and functional changes into their lives, giving them specific helpful information to meet daily demands.
¯believe that mental health and physical health are essential to one another.
¯avoid high impact, high power output, and heavy muscular and skeletal loading by utilizing the Pilates Method as one of our teaching tools.
¯emphasize lengthening and alignment, not simply building muscle mass.
Our successes are only measured by the successes of our clients and there have been many. We have seen large steps in progress, such as from the wheelchair to the golf course, and numerous small successes such as being able to walk again unaided. We do not profess anything from supreme spiritual guidance or supernatural, but we do see a certain magic. That magic is our belief in the strength in the human body and our strength is creating a belief in our clients. We do not lead nor follow, we just walk beside…shoulder to shoulder and mind to motion.
We are living in an era where the term health care is becoming an oxymoron and aging seems to be a character flaw. We have become advocates to what we advocate. We are proactive for those who choose to be proactive. We are putting the "care" back into health care.
