Learn More About This Course

There are several different styles of Pilates on the market. Future Fit studies the original repertoire of Pilates, adapting the exercises to ensure they are usable for the general public and suitable to individual needs. Other providers’ styles, such as STOTT, may vary in tempo, sequencing, breath patterns, and naming of the exercises as they have developed a more contemporary approach. Future Fit stays true to the foundations of the original, classical method.
