There’s a new Pilates class in town–and we can’t get enough! The class mixes classic movements with an innovative new approach to Pilates. Known to improve posture, flexibility, balance, and core stability, the biggest aspect that differentiates this class from others is that music is integrated into the workout and moves will be done in tandem to the beats—not to mention the use of unique equipment.  “Every Pilates Remix class will move swiftly and with music to keep people mentally and physically connected to the moment,” says California-based Nicole Petitto, Equinox’s senior manager for group fitness/barre who created the class with Patty Wortham, Equinox Pilates manager. In Furthermore, Worthham adds that “each 45-minute class is meant to feel like a dance on the mat, flowing from one movement to the next without a noticeable disruption in rhythm.”

If you would like to sample the routine, Natalya Sebastian, Pilates manager and lead Pilates teacher trainer at Equinox locations in Toronto has a great introductory workout you can try from the comfort of your home. In Chicago, Pilates Remix is available in the Gold Coast. To find more locations, visit equinox.com.
