About Us
What is Pilates?
- Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates in 1926. Pilates focuses on core strength, flexibility, body awareness, and graceful movement. Pilates can be practiced in many ways at Pilates on Hilton with mat and reformer classes.
Why Should I Take Pilates?
- There are many benefits for practitioners of Pilates such as: improved posture, improved strength and flexibility, and weight loss. Pilates is a great tool for clients looking to improve their golf swing or make everyday activities easier. Pilates also adds challenges to elite athletes who ordinarily may not be challenged with an average workout. Pilates can be adapted to what the client is needing with exercises ranging from rehabilitation to challenging athleticism.
