"A Focus on Life"
The Pilates Method is a non-impact fitness routine with an emphasis on gaining flexibility, strength, balance and co-ordination. Pronounced “pil-lah-tees” this unique method was developed in the early 1900’s by Joseph Pilates. During World War I Joseph Pilates redesigned hospital beds by adding springs and pulleys for the injured to exercise. This equipment became the Pilates equipment used today.
Popular with the dance industry and Hollywood stars, Pilates is a safe and effective way to stretch, strengthen and tone your body without adding bulk and stressing the joints.
