PILATES — Intelligent exercises that will change the shape of your body!

A pure Pilates workout is the ultimate workout—efficient, thorough, and demanding—yet leaves you with a feeling of overall well-being.  It is a better result for the time and effort you invest and best of all, it can and will improve the shape of your body.

          "The Pilates Method of body conditioning develops the body uniformly, corrects posture, restores vitality,
            invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit."   Joseph H. Pilates

Once the workout of the elite, Pilates has entered the fitness mainstream.  Many fitness facilities have begun offering Pilates-inspired programs, most offering just the mat portion of the program.  The true Pilates method is different, unique, and powerful.

The History of Authentic Pilates

Developed by Joseph H. Pilates more than 50 years ago, Pilates is a series of more than 500 controlled movements performed on a variety of equipment.  The movements are continuous from one exercise to the next.  As one progresses, the workout becomes increasingly more difficult, challenging, and aerobic.  The method captures the benefits of Eastern exercise philosophies by emphasizing mental focus, breathing, and flexibility.  Pilates also maximizes strength and endurance, which are focuses of Western exercise methods.  By blending the best of these approaches, the body and mind are trained to work together to restore muscular balance, build strength, improve flexibility, and increase coordination and circulation.  Pilates improves body alignment and posture with little or no impact on the joints.
