Why Pilates?
Pilates (noun /pɪˈlɑteɪz/) is a system of exercise designed by Joseph H Pilates to correct musculoskeletal alignment and to encourage full body functional fitness. At Big Toe Studio we take this one step further with our focus on the Modification Principle which allows us to modify your Pilates sessions using exercise movement patterns based upon your individual needs for your comfort and safety as you progress onward in your Pilates journey.
Not only is health a normal condition, but it is our duty not only to attain it but maintain it
Joseph H Pilates
Simply put, Pilates is effective, time smart and delivers amazing results!
What separates Pilates from the many choices presented by other exercise routines is the valid movement science behind the effective organization of exercise patterns. Pilates is well designed, intentional, and has been tested for decades by Dancers, Physical Therapists, Professional Athletes, and Moms.
