Joe Pilates called his program "Contrology" - the mind’s control over the body. He had the right idea.

Whether you’re young, old, injured, pregnant, overweight, or perfectly healthy and seeking a state of completely balanced mental and physical fitness, Pilates can be for you.

It is a no-stress, no-impact way to accomplish your goals without strain to the heart or internal organs.

Precision, not repetiton or weight, is always stressed. Adding bulk is not the goal; the development of long, lean, defined muscles with increased strength is the reward.
