Real men pump iron don't they?

They are too macho for the likes of pilates surely?

Try telling that to the New Zealand All Blacks who include pilates as part of their fitness programme. And you don't have to go to the other side of the world either to find professional sportsmen who use pilates as part of their injury recovery, fitness and wellbeing programmes. Premier League footballers, the England cricket team, Olympic athletes and Tiger Woods to name but a few are well versed in the benefits of Pilates.

Joseph Pilates himself was a boxer and self-defence instructor and although dancers were among the first converts to the benefits of the Pilates Method, it's interesting to note that legendary German heavyweight boxer, Max Schmelling, was also a regular at his New York studio.


The best news of all for men is that you don't have to be a sportsman, professional or otherwise, to enjoy the benefits of Pilates.

So remember. Real men do Pilates. So why not join them today!
