In today’s fast-paced world, finding a workout that strengthens your body, enhances your flexibility, and supports your mental well-being can feel like a challenge. That’s where Pilates comes in. Known for its ability to sculpt lean muscles, improve posture, and promote mindfulness, Pilates is more than just an exercise—it’s a complete approach to feeling strong and balanced in your everyday life.


At Move Right EP, we’re excited to bring these benefits directly to you with our new Mat Pilates Class, starting Wednesday at 6 PM at our Blaxland Road facility.


Whether you’re looking to build core strength, ease muscle tension, or simply try something new, Pilates offers the perfect mix of movement and mindfulness to help you thrive.



What Is Pilates?

At its core, Pilates is a system of controlled movements designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, and posture. It emphasizes mindful breathing and precise control of body movements, making it a versatile practice suitable for all fitness levels. Pilates can be done on a mat or with specialized equipment like the Reformer, which uses springs and pulleys to add resistance.


The Benefits of Pilates

  1. Core Strength and Stability


    Pilates is famous for its focus on the core, often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the body. A strong core not only enhances athletic performance but also supports everyday movements, reducing the risk of injury and improving posture.


  2. Flexibility and Mobility


    Unlike traditional strength training, Pilates emphasizes elongating and stretching muscles, leading to improved flexibility and joint mobility. This is particularly beneficial for those recovering from injuries or dealing with chronic stiffness.


  3. Improved Posture


    Modern lifestyles often involve long hours of sitting, leading to poor posture and associated discomfort. Pilates promotes body awareness, helping you align your spine correctly and maintain a balanced posture.


  4. Mind-Body Connection


    One of Pilates’ unique aspects is its emphasis on mindfulness. Each movement is performed with intention, encouraging a deeper connection between the mind and body. This focus on controlled breathing and mental clarity makes Pilates an excellent stress reliever.

  5. Adaptability for All Fitness Levels


    Pilates is highly adaptable, offering modifications for beginners and challenges for advanced practitioners. Whether you're recovering from an injury, pregnant, or an athlete, Pilates can be tailored to meet your needs.


Pilates, The Perfect Complement to Strength Training


At Move Right EP, strength is our foundation—but Pilates takes it to the next level. While strength training builds muscle and power, Pilates enhances your flexibility, core stability, and movement control, creating a balanced, injury-resistant body.


Pilates focuses on precision and alignment, helping to improve posture, reduce muscle imbalances, and refine your movement mechanics—all of which can directly enhance your performance in strength training. By incorporating Pilates into your routine, you’ll lift stronger and move better, recover faster, and feel more in tune with your body.

It’s the perfect partnership: Strength training builds your engine, and Pilates fine-tunes your mechanics. Why settle for one when you can excel at both?
