What is Pilates?
Pilates is an exercise system
developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900's to create
core strength, flexibility, and postural alignment. Pilates,
which can be done on both the mat and on machines, including
the Reformer, the Cadillac, and the Chair, is a means to tone
and firm the body through posture corrections and the reconfiguration
of muscles.
Pilates training will provide you with
the following benefits:
- Increase your core strength
- Improve your posture and flexibility
- Create longer and leaner muscles
- Decrease your pain level
- Increase your overall fitness level
Pilates Exercise Training works for Everyone!
Injury Rehabilitation
Widely recommended by doctors and physical
therapists, Pilates can help you to counteract the physical
maladies associated with injury. By strengthening underdeveloped
muscles and learning to relax overused muscles, Pilates can
help create decompression at the joint, allowing for more
healthy movement, increased range of motion and improved strength
and flexibility. 
Pain Alleviation
Often prescribed by doctors as a form
of physical therapy, Pilates can help you to manage pain. Pilates
works well with general pain alleviation related to arthritis, scoliosis,
sciatica, low back pain, and other physical maladies.
Pregnancy and Post Partum Fitness
Pilates training will lead to an easier
pregnancy, delivery and will get you back to your pre-pregnancy
shape. Pilates is generally safe to do throughout pregnancy.

leading to longer golf drives, smoother ski runs, more comfortable
