Strength, stretch and balance through physical movement are what Megan Moose, owner of Precision Pilates in Gastonia, teaches her clients that want a different type of exercise program.

'It teaches one to control the body and correct muscle imbalance,' she said. For those that want an alternative way to stay healthy and fit, Pilates can be used through equipment or mat training.

'You are using your body weight and spring resistance as opposed to free weights and machines,' she said. The benefits of Pilates range from improving posture, breathing and flexibility. 'It is a complete coordination of body, mind and spirit,' she said.
