Pilates

Intensify your Pilates routine by incorporating apparatus equipment! The Reformer, a spring-loaded resistance machine, is one of the low-impact and effective ways to tone muscle, strengthen joints and realign the body. Experience in Mat Pilates classes recommended (try them on the group fitness schedule!) for Beginning and All Level classes.
