A perfect balance between strength and flexibility
The Pilates training method is named after the German Joseph H. Pilates (1880-1967). He was a passionate and brilliant man who from childhood was obsessed with health, wellbeing and uniting body and mind.
From that obsession the Pilates method is born. For over 100 years his exercises use the abdomen, lower back and buttocks as the center of power. In his training, the emphasis is on proper breathing and finding the right balance between strength and flexibility. In contrast to exercising with weights, Pilates lengthens muscles so your body is going to look longer and slimmer.
