Pilates Mat classes are a great complement to any exercise program. Matwork helps increase body awareness, improve posture and balance, strengthen the core, and help you to achieve that long lean look. Our Pilates Mat classes are offered in both our Loft Space and in our Group Fitness Room. Our variety of Pilates Mat class formats will keep you motivated and help you achieve the best results. We highly recommend cross training - practicing Pilates Mat along with different fitness formats throughout your week for the best results.
