Strengthen your inner core the Pilates way

"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness... If at 30 you are stiff and out of shape then you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young." Joseph Hubertus Pilates

Unlike any other exercise, Pilates focuses on building your body's core strength - your back, abdominal and pelvic muscles - and improving posture through a series of low repetition, low impact stretching and conditioning exercises.

Flexibility and agility are enhanced and muscles are toned without adding bulk. Whilst providing a total body workout (without pounding away in the gym) Pilates also helps participants develop a greater sense of how their body works.
