Created by Joseph Pilates and practiced for the past 70 years, the ultimate goal of the Pilates Method is to create an extremely high degree of abdominal strength, total body control and increased flexibility. The exercises take a "quality not quantity" approach. By performing many exercises for a low number of repetitions, the muscles are strengthened, elongated, and toned without creating bulk. Pilates is an ideal workout for anyone wanting to achieve a "long and lean" look to their body, improve their posture, or develop a greater sense of balance and coordination. Once only a method of exercise available to professional dancers, athletes and Hollywood's elite, the Pilates Method is now accessible to everyone and has been praised by fitness enthusiasts who are looking for a new and challenging method of core conditioning to include in their existing workout regimen. Pilates is for the regular fitness enthusiasts who need a new challenge, "baby boomers" who want to add vitality to their lives, athletes craving core conditioning, "twenty-something's" desiring resilience, and injured individuals requiring rehabilitation. For more information, contact the Director of Health and Fitness at your Club. Pilates is offered in group sessions and one on one appointment.
