For any men out there that want to benefit from regular Pilates but would prefer to avoid the mainstream classes that are almost all women, please do join us for this Pilates for men class instead.
You will do the same great Pilates with a slightly different emphasis. There is more overt strength training work and more stretching for the hips and legs. Many regulars have issues with their back and we do work on posture, flexibility and generally getting the back moving safely.
I have talked about how Pilates can help men in this blog post: Benefits of Pilates for men.

Pilates and Golf
I have recently taken a fascinating course on golf and how Pilates can help golfers. It covered what the golf swing is, and how to optimise it. Also, exercises to prevent golf related injury and exercises to help rehab from golf injuries, in particular of the lower back, the wrists and the elbows.
Some of the exercises are exactly the same as those in a normal Pilates regime, for instance, increasing the rotational capacity in the trunk, or strengthening the buttock muscles. If you are interested in what things might help your game, do mention it in class!
