WHAT IS PILATES

Pilates is a mind-body workout that will strengthen your core, tone your entire body, and help you with stability. Pilates is a class that can be done on a mat or a reformer (a piece of equipment made with springs and ropes to add resistance to your workout), and, similarly to yoga, can be taken with you wherever you go.

Joseph Pilates, a circus performer, self-defense instructor, and boxer, developed pilates in World War 1 by using hospital bed springs to create workouts for his patients. He brought this exercise from Germany to the United States in the ’20s by offering it in a New York City ballet studio.

What Is Mat pilates?

Mat Pilates is a pilates training practice that can be done on a mat, meaning, no reformer is used. In this class, you hold movements like planks, side planks, and core exercises to build your muscle groups and core strength. Much of the equipment that you find in a reformer class can also be used in a pilates mat workout. Your pilates instructor will give you options to use bands, exercise balls, and sometimes even small weights to help level up your pilates experience.
