Looking to tone lean, strong muscles while improving your overall fitness? Our Mat Pilates class with instructor Rorey is the perfect way to challenge your body in a low-impact, full-body workout. Whether you’re brand new to exercise or a seasoned athlete, Pilates is a versatile practice that benefits everyone.

Mat Pilates is a workout designed to strengthen and lengthen your muscles using bodyweight exercises, pulses, and holds. In our classes at MVP, you’ll also incorporate light weights, resistance bands, or no equipment at all to build stability and endurance. Think of it as a workout that sculpts your muscles while also helping you move better in your daily life.

What are the benefits of Mat Pilates?

Improves Core Strength – A strong core supports good posture, reduces back pain, and gives you more power in other workouts.
Builds Lean Muscle – Through small, controlled movements, you’ll sculpt long, lean muscles without adding bulk.
Increases Flexibility & Mobility – Pilates helps improve your range of motion, keeping your joints healthy and reducing stiffness.
Boosts Mind-Body Connection – Each class encourages focus and controlled breathing, helping you feel centered and energized.
Accessible for All Levels – Pilates is gentle on the joints and can be modified for any fitness level, making it suitable for all ages.

Who Can Benefit from Mat Pilates?

The short answer: everyone! Beginners love Pilates because it’s approachable and doesn’t require heavy equipment. Athletes use Pilates to build stability, prevent injuries, and enhance performance. Busy professionals appreciate that it delivers results without high-impact strain. And older adults enjoy the safe, low-impact movements that support balance and mobility.
