If you want to make 2019 the year you get fitter and healthier what’s the best form of regular exercise for you?
We asked various fitness venues to tell us why people should try their particular discipline.
Why pilates? Pilates is all about creating strength, stretch and control. It strengthens abdominal and back muscles, whilst providing a strong centre to work from. The equipment provides fantastic support for the body, and the mat adds that extra challenge.
