General Fitness and Sporting Performance
Pilates is beneficial for a wide range of the population for improving general fitness and as an important addition to aerobic exercise for sports people. The beauty of Pilates is that you don't have to be fit to participate, and on the other hand you can be extremely fit and still benefit from strengthening the deep core muscles.

Benefits for general fitness and sporting performance include:
- Improving posture and spinal alignment
