Mat Pilates: quality before quantity

Pilates on the mat, in groups of six or one-to-one. The work goes deep into the muscles that hold your posture, rather than counting repetitions.

In short

NatureFitFlorence mat pilates classes run at Via dei Pilastri 7A in central Florence, in groups of six people maximum. The work covers trunk and pelvic stability (the powerhouse), spinal articulation, coordination and strengthening of the upper body, lower body and back extensors. One-to-one sessions are also available, and your first class is a free trial.

The method, briefly

Joseph Pilates called his method «Contrology». He had studied very different disciplines — martial arts, classical dance, yoga, artistic gymnastics — and designed specific equipment to improve the condition of the body.

Pilates strengthens and lengthens at the same time, across the whole body: from abdominal tone to spinal articulation, from trunk and pelvic stabilisation to coordination. It works deep in the muscles, improving posture through correct activation.

Why small groups

In pilates, the difference between an exercise that works and one that does nothing lies in details you cannot see on your own: how the pelvis is resting, whether the breath follows the movement, which muscle is actually engaging. With six people at most, those details get corrected one by one.

Groups of six people maximum
One hour long, equipment provided
Useful if you spend long hours sitting or standing
One-to-one path available for specific goals

Who it suits

Anyone looking for quality of movement rather than a count of repetitions. Developing the deep intrinsic muscles brings stability, elasticity and support to the whole body. It suits people who already train as well as those returning after a long break.
