So, you kept your resolution, joined a gym, and got a personal trainer. After thousands of miles on a treadmill and never-ending circuits of four sets of five reps, what do you have to show for it all? One torn rotator cuff, one hyper-extended patella, two sprained ankles, and lower back pain.

Pilates is a series of low-impact stretching and toning exercises developed to keep you fit without stress to your body. No machines loaded down with weights, no running miles and going nowhere, and no sweaty gym smell.

What are you waiting for?
