What is Pilates?

Pilates is a system of exercising that strengthens the core, lengthens the muscles, and promotes flexibility and balance. The core, or the “powerhouse,” is comprised of the abdominals, back, butt and inner thighs. Strengthening the core allows the whole body to work more efficiently. Pilates' muscle endurance training is fairly simple with many modifications so that anyone can practice the exercises. Pilates is designed to improve posture so you will look better, feel better and have a healthier body.
