For me, trying out a new exercise is always a scary and exciting experience. Scary because you don't what you're in for, and exciting because, again - you don't know what you're in for. It is also an experience rife with the possibility of embarrassment, awkwardness and self-doubt. But thank heavens for awesome, patient instructors, especially the instructors of Options Studio, a workout studio that offers classes in Pilates.
Pilates is an exercise that focuses on strengthening your core while helping to increase flexibility, strength, balance and coordination. If you want a long, lean, lithe frame, much like what ballerinas have, Pilates would be a good place to start.
I especially love Options Studio's reformer classes. Seeing the reformer machine at first can be quite intimidating since it's this big, hulking mass of steel and wood. But as the instructor goes through the exercises, you eventually learn to love the reformer.
Classes at Options Studio range from Php 450 to 1,700, depending on the type of exercise and class (private or group) you want. They also offer packages, which will surely get you to save more. read more
