The Pilates Method is a complete body conditioning program that specializes in torso stability and postural alignment. This alternative method of body conditioning may be the perfect complement to your fitness specialty or utilized as your primary exercise program. It enhances daily movement patterns and creates a physical efficiency at rest, as well as providing moderate or intense levels of exercise. This world-renowned practice offers strength and balance conditioning that benefits all client needs. Experience the teaching of Joseph H. Pilates and learn the method from our trained professionals. Pilates consists of 500 plus exercises focusing on core strength in the abdominal region, back, and buttocks. Our classes use your body’s own resistance to perform highly specific exercises. A professional instructor helps students achieve the correct posture, execute the movement, and breathe deeply throughout. 

Pilates differs from many traditional exercise programs in that it focuses both on strengthening weak muscles and stretching tight areas. It is designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body, particularly the abdomen and back, improving posture, mobility, and flexibility. Bone density and joint health improve with a Pilates program. Lung capacity is increased through the deep, healthy breathing that is a primary focus of Pilates.

With systematic practice of specific exercises coupled with focused breathing patterns, Pilates has proven invaluable not only as a fitness endeavor, but also as an important adjunct to professional sports training and physical rehabilitation of all kinds.
