There’s no doubt about it: Pilates is the workout of the moment. Known for its core-strengthening power, it’s raved about by everyone from professional athletes to models, actresses and (probably) at least half your colleagues. But beyond this, Pilates has also carved out a new entry point into fitness, especially for those with gym anxiety, who dread the intensity of a HIIT class, or who simply don’t fancy washing their hair straight after a workout.
Originally a mat-based method launched in the 1920s, Pilates has since evolved into the multifaceted discipline that we know today, with formats ranging from Reformer Pilates, to Tower Pilates, to STOTT Pilates, to wall Pilates.
