Creative Conditioning > General Information

Joseph H. Pilates developed this method of physical conditioning over 70 years ago in Europe. Accepted by physicians worldwide, this form of therapeutic exercise focuses on breathing and precise body movement. The goal is to develop a healthy, balanced body and mind.

Because Pilates is done at your own pace and a program is specifically designed around your personal strengths and weaknesses, anyone can do it. Safe for pregnant women and persons undergoing rehabilitation, Pilates is also a challenge for the serious athlete.

Dancers, actresses, and fitness professionals practice Pilates because the result is a body with long slender thighs and calves, a flat stomach, a strong back, and a high posterior. Workouts result in an energetic positive attitude as well as a firmer, fitter, and stronger body. You too can have a Pilates body.
