About Pilates

Pilates is for everyone!

Pilates exercises help both men and women develop optimal strength, flexibility, endurance and posture, without building bulk or stressing joints. The perfect compliment to cardiovascular exercise, athletic training or rehabilitation, equipment-based pilates exercises help clients increase tone, move with ease and feel revitalized. Everyone from serious fitness enthusiasts, to rehab patients, elite athletes, and prenatal clients will all see and feel a difference.

What are the benefits to Pilates?

  • longer, leaner muscles
  • increases core strength, stability and peripheral mobility
  • improves postural problems
  • enhances functional fitness and ease of movement
  • balances strength & flexibility
  • heightens body awareness
  • no-impact – easy on the joints
  • improves balance, coordination & circulation
  • improves performance in sports (golf, skiing, skating etc.)

Is Pilates like yoga?

In some respects Pilates is like yoga – both are considered mind-body methods of movement. Yoga and Pilates both emphasize deep breathing and smooth, long movements that encourage the mind-body connection. The difference is that while yoga requires moving from one static posture to the next, Pilates flows through a series of movements that are more dynamic, systematic and anatomically-based incorporating resistance equipment. It is our goal in Pilates to strengthen postural muscles while achieving optimal functional fitness.
