Contra Costa Pilates Center

Pilates has become quite trendy in recent years. But in fact, has been around for over 80 years. Developed by Joseph Pilates, this method of exercise has long been embraced by dancers, physical therapists and other body-conscious professionals. Its graceful, almost balletic motions are executed on a "Reformer", "Cadillac ","Wunda chair" and other Pilates equipment.

Although Pilates can be performed without equipment, utilizing these pieces with their adjustable spring resistance, can offer a larger variety of exercises for a more defined workout. The gentle, non-jarring motions of Pilates makes it one of the safest workouts and is perfect as a daily exercise program.
