Individual training on specialized Pilates equipment

Pilates on specialized equipment is a somewhat different system of exercises developed more than ninety years ago by the German Joseph Pilates. The system includes practices for stretching the whole body, flexing the spine, improving joint mobility. No muscle group is isolated, therefore the effect on the body is holistic. The method is practiced also for rehabilitation and recovery, as well as as a preventive measure for wear of the joints and problems with them, back and lower back pain! Pilates is safe due to the smooth and steady pace of the exercises, which are entirely aimed at stretching and strengthening all muscle groups, improving mobility and flexibility of the spine and joints. Sofia Pilates offers complete equipment with devices or the so-called machines: Reformer, Wunda Chair, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel, Core Align, Orbit. Training with machines combines strengthening of the central part of the body as well as strengthening of the legs, buttocks, arms, shoulders and inner thighs. The machines allow a full body workout with resistance without increasing muscle volume; on the contrary, they lengthen them and make them strong and flexible.
