The Benefits of Pilates

  • Stronger Core and Pelvic Floor
  • Increased Total Body Flexibility
  • Improved Coordination
  • Enhanced Focus and Concentration
  • Immune System Support
  • Leaner Body Mass and Body Contouring

What is Mat Pilates?

Mat Pilates is a full-body exercise performed on a floor mat. You'll focus on your core muscles while also training your arms and legs. Based on the original Pilates exercises developed by Joseph Pilates, Mat Pilates can be done almost anywhere, making it one of the most accessible forms of Pilates for practitioners of all ages and skill levels. 

Does Pilates Build Muscle? 

Pilates is great for building functional muscle and endurance, especially when performed with resistance equipment like the Reformer. While Pilates is strength training, it isn't typically the best exercise regiment for building muscle mass. You can accelerate your muscle gain from Pilates in a number of ways, including adding external resistance (such as ankle weights or resistance bands), slowing your tempo, and prioritizing compound movements that work multiple large muscles at once (such as lunges and squats).
