PILATES REFORMER
TRANSFORM & PERFORM!
Pilates looks deceptively easy but the often-tiny movements improve balance and core strength. Pilates does this in part by reinforcing the bond between mind and muscles, helping people engage the right muscles in the core. This leads to better posture and control over the body's movements.
