The functional fitness provided by Pilates is as important for men as it is for women. That is especially true of male athletes, whose workouts often tend towards specific muscular development, rather than integrated fitness. Pilates training, with its emphasis on functional strength and flexibility, core control, balance, uniform development and efficient movement, is an ideal foundation for cross-training as well as general fitness, irrespective of gender. This workshop highlights the typical needs of men, offering repertoire and cueing appropriate for men, as well as modifications that are most effective with male clients. Joseph Pilates originally created his method for men; after the Pilates for Men workshop, you’ll understand why.
