PRESENTED BY MARY JANE’S PILATES STUDIO

Stronger Abs, Sassier ‘Arghs’!

Think Pilates is just for landlubbers? Think again! This is the workout where you’ll stretch like a sail, wobble like a ship in a storm, and laugh like you’ve had too much rum—all before breakfast! ‘Core strength’ means keeping your balance on deck, and ‘cannonball’ is your new favorite move.

Whether you’re a seasoned pirate or a fresh recruit, Pilates will make you stronger, steadier, and ready to plunder your fitness goals. Ready to set sail for a fitter you?"
