The goal of this web site is to provide useful, up-to-date information about Pilates, one of the world's most effective and popular exercise systems. It is unique because it offers low-impact exercise that is suitable for all ages and levels, beginners and experts alike.

This method of exercise is a physical fitness system that focuses on both strengthening and stretching the core muscles of your body. If you continue to practice this regime on a regular basis you can expect to:

• strengthen your “deep postural” muscles
• improve your overall posture
• slow the effects of aging
• boost your overall energy level

"I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, whole world, should be doing my exercises. They'd be happier." Joseph Pilates, in 1965 age 86.
