Think Pilates is only slow stretches? Think again.
I just tackled my first class with Cassidy, and it is a serious full-body workout. If you know your way around standard lunges, planks, and pushups, taking them to the reformer and stability chair changes the entire game.
The best... part? Zero previous Pilates experience is required. If you have a solid fitness baseline and want to challenge your core, balance, and control in a whole new way, this is the perfect place to start.
Our fall schedule is officially out, and registration is now open for all sessional and drop-in classes! Check out wellnessinstitute.ca/pilates for full details and to lock in your spot.

All seven types of exercise studied are beneficial for lowering blood pressure, but combined training (mixing strength and cardio) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) showed the strongest effects. Mind–body exercises such as yoga and tai chi followed, while aerobic exercise, isometric ...resistance training, and dynamic resistance training showed weaker effects.
More is not better. Moderate exercise volumes were best for reducing blood pressure. Overall, meeting recommendations for 150 min/week of moderate or 75 min/week of vigorous exercise maximizes blood pressure lowering benefits.
Benefits were u-shaped, increasing as exercise increased from low to moderate levels, but decreasing with very high volumes of exercise. The exact peak differed between exercise types, showing that different types of training have different optimal doses.
