Pilates is a type of exercise that connects the mind and body, and it has been around for over 100 years. It was created by Joseph Pilates and was first used by dancers to prevent injuries and improve flexibility. Today, more than 12 million people around the world practice it.
Pilates has being changed and improved over time with scientific research in exercise and fitness making it suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.
It is a full-body workout that’s gentle on the joints and helps to build strength, improve posture, balance, flexibility, and body control. All that make everyday movements easier and smoother.
Pilates is great for anyone who has a long term commitment with physical activities or those who are just starting. As it focuses on using your own body weight and resistance, it can be used as a stand alone but it also combines perfectly with any other activity such as running, swimming, cycling, Zumba, HIIT, or even strength training. And the list goes on and on!
Pilates: what is it good for and
who needs it?
“You will feel better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions.”
Joseph Pilates
Mat Classes
Mat Pilates is the simplest form of Pilates, using just your body weight.
It’s a safe and low-risk workout with high benefits, perfect for everyone from beginners, to athletes, young people to older adults or those with a low activity lifestyle.
If you want a low-impact exercise that’s easy to start, requires minimal equipment, and helps build strength while improving your mind-body connection, mat Pilates is the choice for you
Reformer Classes
Reformer Pilates builds on the benefits of mat Pilates by adding resistance with springs as external load. The reformer is a unique machine that helps you to stretch and create space in your body while working against the spring tension. It's not just for core strength—it helps to lengthen the spine, joints, and muscles, improving flexibility, strength, stamina, and posture. This workout is especially important nowadays due to modern lifestyle challenges like long work hours, sitting for extended periods, and mental health concerns.
