Many men consider Pilates to be a form of exercise designed for rehabilitating the injured or for women and dancers wanting to improve their posture. The truth is that Pilates is so much more.

Consider the typical training patterns of men trying to lose weight, build muscle or who are just training to increase their fitness. By focusing on the major muscle groups in the body, often the smaller “core” muscles are overlooked. These core muscle are essential for your body to work in proper alignment. Without this alignment, you will not be able to get the most out of your regular gym sessions.

Athletes and others who enjoy sport also gain an advantage through Pilates. The improvements in posture and core strength not only result in increased stamina, control, and physical strength, you will look great doing it.

While Pilates may have originated as a form of rehabilitation, its true value also lies prevention. Back and neck pain are all to common symptoms of  an aging male. Though the strengthening provided by Pilates, these problems can often be prevented.

With all these benefits, it is little wonder that men around the world are becoming hooked on Pilates.

Pilates caters for everyone, from the beginner to the advanced. Professional dancers have used Pilates for decades. Top athletes use it for strength, flexibility and injury prevention. Hollywood celebrities and supermodels use it to maintain beautiful physiques.  It can be integrated with any other program or system.  The Pilates method is a non impact – balanced system which works just as well for the very fit person as it does for injury rehabilitation and seniors.  Pilates builds strength without bulking up.

The Pilates system retrains  the body, increases strength and flexibility and improves balance, posture, alignment and muscle control.  Consequently we become better able to manage our daily activities efficiently and effectively with little or no risk of strain or injury.  Under the pilates system, the body is worked as  a whole, insuring that stability, balance and alignment, good muscle control and correct breathing are maintained while the various muscle groups are being exercised.

The Pilates system increases our self-awareness, making us more aware of what we unconsciously do with our bodies and enabling us to identify and alter bad habits.
