😆 If you think Pilates is just stretching on a fancy mat, think again-it’s the only workout where you can wobble, giggle, and find muscles you never knew existed, all before breakfast!

Pilates: where “core values” mean holding a plank longer than your last relationship, and “rolling like a ball” is actually encouraged. Come for the stretch, stay for the laughs, and leave with abs that might just show up to the party.
