Over the 6 weeks we will be focusing on proper form with progressive overload (gradually heavier loads) while building strength, ensuring you achieve balanced muscle development. We will use various weights, including dumbells, Pilates weighted balls and weighted triangles. Elevate your fitness journey with us and experience the perfect synergy of Pilates and weight training!
