Pilates Training
Pilates techniques and equipment, such as the Reformer, are used to strengthen your muscles starting from the powerhouse – your core – and moving out into your extremities. You will use a variety of springs, pulleys and your own body weight to create a dynamic workout to help create muscular endurance, flexibility, mobility, balance and core control using breathing patterns in a precise manner. Pilates helps men and women of all ages.
