Men’s Pilates

Did you know? Pilates was created by a MAN, for MEN! Pilates exercises were created by Joseph Pilates to achieve the perfect physical body in aesthetics and function. This Pilates class every Saturday at 10:00 AM strengthens, stretches, stabilizes, and improves the stamina of all the muscles in the body. We will strengthen and mobilize the spine helping to improve posture and overall health. The class will increase core strength and “gains” on the weight room floor.
