Pilates aims to strengthen the body in an even way, with particular emphasis on core strength to improve general fitness and well-being. Pilates exercises are floor based using a mat and special equipment.
Building a strong core is the foundation of health & fitness, especially as we age. Pilates focuses on creating a strong core as the foundation of a strong body, and is a wonderful tool to recover from recurring back issues.

Pilates was developed by German-born Joseph Pilates, who believed mental and physical health were closely connected. His method was influenced by western forms of exercise, including gymnastics, boxing and Greco-Roman wrestling. Pilates immigrated to the US in the 1920s and opened a studio in New York, where he taught his method – which he called Contrology – for several decades.
Pilates has something to offer people of all ages and levels of ability and fitness, from beginners to elite athletes. The equipment can be used to provide support for beginners and people with certain medical conditions, as well as resistance for people looking to challenge their body.
