What is the Pilates "powerhouse"? In Pilates, the core muscle groups of the body (the abdomen,
lower back, hips and buttocks) are known as the "powerhouse". By focusing on these core muscle groups, Pilates practice
enables individuals to sculpt longer and leaner muscles. Instructors lead a combination of exercises via precise sequencing
to produce a low-intensity yet calorie-burning workout. Our clients lose inches while gaining in strength and flexibility.
