Pilates and Strength Fusion

About this program

This mat pilates class fuses the benefits of pilates with strength training using dumbbells and bands. Adding resistance training to mat pilates will tone muscles, increase metabolism and improve overall function. While pilates targets the core and strengthens the small muscles around joints, the added strength exercises will work the larger muscles. Participants will learn the foundations of pilates core and breath work and fundamental strengthening exercises for a full-body workout. Gail is a certified personal trainer, has advanced training in several specialty areas including yoga and older adult fitness, and is a certified and experienced Mat Pilates instructor. 2" exercise mats available. Feel free to bring your own yoga mats if you prefer.
