About Pilates

The Pilates method is a complete approach to exercise, which tones and lengthens the muscles to create a balance between strength and flexibility while improving the body's postural and alignment habits.

Joseph H. Pilates spent his lifetime developing his method of body conditioning, which he called “controllogy”.

The method focuses on strengthening the body's ‘core stability' to improve posture and develop an easy physicality in day to day life.

Pilates is beneficial for men and women of all ages and levels of fitness, as well as being a valuable tool for remedial and rehabilitation work.

Osteopaths, physiotherapists and general practitioners are now recommending Pilates as one the safest forms of exercise today.
