o Time efficiency in a workout

o Athletic training

Why should I take this workshop? Pilates works the muscles but weight training can quickly build muscle and strengthen the bones as well as the muscles that surround the joints. Studies have shown that strength training with weights is more effective for gaining muscle mass than resistance training. Pilates, which is a form of resistance training, improves muscular endurance but may not lead to as significant strength gains.

If you need to help your clients build more muscle or have your own personal goal to build muscle but don’t want to sacrifice your Pilates workouts, this course is for you. Join me for a 120 minute mat, reformer and tower session that will introduce ways to incorporate weights into your Pilates routine for an efficient work out with gains! You’ll combine the best of both worlds and feel great in the end.

What if I can't make the date and time?
