Pilates, like any form of exercise, can help you lose weight if you do it regularly. But what determines if you will do it regularly is how much you enjoy doing it. While the Pilates method encourages strict form, at Prime Pilates, we also want it to be fun. Our compassionate instructors and energizing playlists make each class a fun activity you look forward to instead of a chore you avoid.
