Body Control Pilates ®

Pilates is a body-conditioning method that works in a different way to other fitness techniques. Targeting deep postural muscles, it works by building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body & bringing it into correct alignment. It helps to reshape your body which will become longer, leaner & more toned. It will also improve your posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength & flexibility & is a great way to relieve unwanted stress & tension. Ideal for athletes looking to enhance their performance & avoid the risk of injury, it is equally suitable for first time exercisers. Its slow, controlled approach means that it gives longer term results & it's especially recommended by medical specialists for those with back problems.
