A method of body training that requires mental and physical control of the muscles which over time, improves ones skeletal alignment. It was invented by Joseph Hubertus Pilates (1880-1967) over 100 years ago. He developed and crystallized his concepts into a fully integrated system over the course of his life. We are left with an exercise program that allows us to develop our entire muscular system from the major groups-abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms-to ones hands and feet.

The practice of pilates gives to the client a complete knowledge of how the body functions in terms of both muscles and, more important, the skeleton. As the tone of the entire muscular system improves, the new changes in skeletal alignment can be felt and seen. One can tone his or her muscular system to absolute firmness while simultaneously reforming virtually any conceivable skeletal problem.

After a suitable amount of training you will be rewarded with long, lean, hard muscles which wrap around a flexible and supple skeleton from head to toe. Diligent practice of pillates (2-3 times per week) will yield results in a matter of weeks. Ongoing practice will produce a completely rehabilitated muscular and skeletal system, this can happen within several months. Achieving a "perfect" body can occur within a year but it must always be maintained through regular and focused practice.
