What is Pilates?
Pilates is an exercise system that is focused on building strength without bulk, improving flexibility and agility, and helping to prevent injury. Joseph H. Pilates, who was a physical trainer and founder of Pilates, developed the system in the 1920s. It involves a series of controlled movements that engage both your body and mind.
