We're spending more and more time behind a desk with remote and hybrid work becoming more common. Even if you don't, back pain and depression are common issues amongst the population, not to mention the desire to better ourselves. We're here to help with the fitness class you didn't know you were missing.

 

What It Is and Why It Works

Pilates tones your muscles and builds your core, which are key in the physique many of us are after as well as giving you a better quality of life. Pilates combines controlled movements and breathing techniques to strengthen your core, increase flexibility and improve your posture.

A typical Pilates class lasts for less than an hour, so it's easy to fit into your schedule. It's also a low-impact, full-body exercise that will check most of your fitness goal boxes.

 

The Get-Fit Workout for Everyone

While many think Pilates is just for women, it's simply not true. Anyone can do Pilates, and everyone can benefit from it regardless of gender, age, race, size, ability or current fitness level.

Pilates has also been known to help those with certain health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis. With a vast number of different exercises and equipment, your instructor can help you find exactly what Pilates moves will work best for you.
