What is Pilates and what are the benefits?
Pilates is a system of more than 500 exercises that condition the whole body as well as engage the mind. The blend of resistance, strength and flexibility training improves posture, reduces stress and creates long, lean muscles without bulking up. Pilates works the entire body simultaneously through continuous motion, with a specific focus on the core, the body’s “powerhouse” (abdomen, back and pelvic region).
We offer equipment-based group classes and private sessions. You can find out more about our Balanced Body Pilates equipment here.
The Benefits of Pilates
Pilates can make a difference in your health without taking a toll on your body. Benefits all ages and all levels of fitness.
The benefits of Pilates are many. Since it’s creation 100 years ago, Pilates has been practiced to increase muscle strength, develop a strong core and improve flexibility, posture, and balance. Additional research suggests that Pilates also has a wide range of mental health benefits and is a great cross-training workout for athletes.
