There are millions of people in America who currently practice Pilates, and literally thousands of instructors teaching them how to do so. One of the primary target demographics are well off businesspeople who lead an active lifestyle. As such, more and more Pilates studios are trying to stay in the region of luxury hotels. As one example, the Mark on Madison Avenue and 77th Street is just a pleasant five-block walk to Uptown Pilates on Madison and 72nd. Uptown Pilates is just one of many new studios tactically positioning their business location to accommodate luxury oriented travelers.
The term “Pilates” refers to an exercise regimen developed by German-born Joseph Pilates. He suffered from several ailments as a child and overcame them through exercise. He moved to England in 1912 and was placed in an internment camp with other German nationals during World War I, and there began sharing his knowledge of exercise and its benefits. After the war Pilates worked well at rehabilitating returning veterans. In 1926 Joseph Pilates came to the United States and taught the program until his death in 1967. Since that time, the workout concept has blossomed.
Joseph Pilates started out with a series of floor exercises, and later added several pieces of equipment and more exercises for each piece. Some instructors have followed that precedent and added more aspects. Names of different parts of the Pilates regimen, as well as names of pieces of equipment, have changed over the years. As a result, not all instructors present exactly the same version.
Uptown Pilates is just one of many studios opening up around Madison Avenue. Many a luxury hotel New York is positioned close to several such locations. Each instructor is certified (some hold multiple certifications) and can probably trace their instructional “genealogy” directly to Joseph Pilates. There are also studios located on the west side of Manhattan and in Sag Harbor.

With the economy waffling between slow stabilization and complete insanity, many would-be home buyers are sitting on the fence. They are waiting, along with realtors and sellers, to see what happens with interest rates.
Many are predicting that interest rates, especially those pertaining to a home mortgage, may be on the rise as early as April of this year. No one, however, seems to be certain when the rate hike will happen.
The powers-that-be (Federal Reserve/lenders/banks) all find themselves stuck in a dilemma. Raising rates may seem to be necessary, but doing so could easily burst the barely burgeoning bubble of a housing market increase. With the economy so anemic, bleeding potential buyers of the incentive of a low interest rate could result in a housing market that topples right back down into the morass from which it is struggling to arise.
A bit more encouraging is the news that, even if the rates are increased in April, it will not be a drastic increase in one big step. Instead, the plan would be to increase the mortgage (and other) interest rates slowly, incrementally over time. Most feel that the increase could start as early as April and then continue to meander upwards until sometime mid-year in 2011.
So, if you are a homeowner trying to sell, or a buyer looking to purchase a home, the message seems clear enough. Home mortgage rates are good now. They will not be getting better if you wait longer. The longer the buyer waits, the more the rate wills will affect their purchase. Sellers may find this affects the amount they can get for their home.
Still, don’t rush into a purchase before you’re ready just because of a possible rise in interest rates. That could cost you more than a fraction of a percentage point in the long run.
