Pilates is a LifeStyle Fitness and Wellness program designed by Joe Pilates
in the 1900's to aid in the rehabilitation of the disabled and sick.
Pilates has since evolved over the years as a physical fitness method to include the
young and old; men and women; athletes looking for a competitive edge;
fitness enthusiasts seeking to improve flexibility, strengths and posture;
and those who are new to exercise and are looking for a safe workout.
Pilates is for everyone
There are 6 basic principles in Pilates:
concentration, control, centering, precision, rhythm/ flow, and breath.
In essence Pilates is strength and stretch with control, a mind and body experience.
With Pilates you can strengthen your abdominals and back muscles, strengthen and tone
your legs and arms, increase flexibility, improve your posture and reduce stress.
When taught correctly, Pilates is a safe but challenging workout for all levels of ability.
“After 10 sessions you’ll feel a difference, after 20 sessions you’ll see a difference,
and after 30 sessions you’ll have a new body”
J. H. Pilates
