Pilates
The Pilates Method of physical fitness will transform the way your body
looks, feels and performs. The Peachtree Center Athletic Club Pilates
program features a dedicated Pilates studio complete with state-of-the-art Pilates Reformers and Cadillac.
Pilates uses both mat work – which uses only body weight and padded mat – and exercises using unique pieces of equipment designed specifically for Pilates training.
The Pilates Reformer consists of a sliding platform anchored at one end of its frame with springs. Exercises feature the challenge of moving the platform by either pulling on ropes or pushing off from a stationary bar, and maintaining balance on a moving surface.
The Pilates Cadillac is a raised horizontal table-top surrounded by a four poster frame on which various bars, straps, springs and levers are fixed. Over 80 different exercises can be performed on this piece of Pilates equipment, ranging from gentle spring-assisted sit ups to advanced movements that have one hanging from the upper bar.
Program Offerings
