The pilates method of exercise was developed in the early 1900s by Joseph Pilates. For more than 80 years, this integrated flow of exercises has helped thousands of people balance, tone and strengthen the muscles of the body. Pilates exercises focus on developing the ‘core’ muscles of the abdominal wall. By strengthening the center of the body, better posture is achieved, and all muscle groups are simultaneously engaged. Each exercise is performed with concentration, control and precision. Whether you are a beginner or a professional athlete, this series of over 500 exercises performed on mats and different pieces of apparatus leaves one feeling refreshed and restored. Available to people of all fitness levels, pilates helps you look good and feel great about yourself!

A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion. Joseph Pilates
