What people are saying about our Classes

Pilates is a non-aerobic form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the core postural muscles, keeping the body balanced and centered, and the spine neutrally aligned. It was devised in the 1920s by physical trainer Joseph Pilates as a way to help injured athletes and dancers safely return to exercise and maintain their fitness. It has since been adapted to address the general fitness needs of people in the community with additional, wide-ranging benefits.

The American Council on Exercise states, “Pilates has a long list of benefits, including improving body mechanics, balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility.” Dr. Cedric Bryant, ACE chief exercise physiologist, notes that it is “a valuable addition to any exercise routine offering the essential elements of building a strong core and increasing flexibility[1].”

The Mayo Clinic reports, “Pilates, an exercise technique that emphasizes muscle balance, proper posture, and body alignment, can improve your back health.[2]” Paul Takahashi, M.D., Mayo Clinic geriatrician, adds that pilates is an “excellent program for older adults…Potential benefits include:

Improved balance, which helps reduce the risk of falls in older adults
Improved posture, which can help prevent curvature of the spine (kyphosis) due to osteoporosis.

Pilates is used for safe rehabilitation of joint and spinal injuries, as well as for promoting injury prevention with the improved coordination, balance, dynamic stability, and body awareness resulting from the practice.
