Top Pilates Studios in the U.S.
Pilates is no longer reserved for celebrities and
super models. These days you can find a
Pilates studio in just about every city in the country. Even fitness centers like Bally’s and L.A. Fitness
offer Pilates classes with skilled, trained instructors. The strength-building workout is certainly
more mainstream and accessible to anyone who wants to integrate it into their
fitness routine.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a mind-body physical fitness regimen
developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. Traditional Pilates is performed on a machine
known as a reformer. The apparatus provides
resistance to build strength, improve alignment and posture, and increase
flexibility. However, Pilates can also be practiced on a mat, also known
as mat Pilates, which does not require a reformer.
Perks of Pilates
Pilates strengthens the deep “core” or abdominal
muscles. It also teaches awareness of
breath and body, spine alignment, good posture, flexibility and agility. Ultimately practicing Pilates regularly and
correctly can help build lean strong muscles, create a sleek, toned body, improve
circulation, and even reduce back, neck and joint pain.
