Free Exercise This week
Anyone who’s interested in trying out Pilates? Well PilatesPlus HBV (Hollywood, Belair, and Venice) offers ONE FREE class! There are three locations to choose from, so it covers a good part of LA. You can sign up through their website Pilates Plus HBV.
The great thing about free, is you can try out this form of Pilates (it’s different from Stott Pilates, or other forms), and see how you like it.
It’ll also add something a bit different into your current work out routine. They also have a split Pilates and Spinning class if you are so inclined.

Pilates Plus Venice

I’ve done the class, they KICK your butt. The first time you feel a bit overwhelmed, and it goes pretty fast, but you get an AWESOME work out. Your abs are sore, your side abs are sore, your butt is sore, your thighs are sore, the muscles you didn’t even know you have are sore, and you stand up a bit straighter, and that gut’s not quite as poochy the next day.
Regular practice of Pilates can offer you a number of benefits, including:
- increased lung capacity
- improved circulation
- better balance
- increased body strength
- lean and toned muscles
- better posture
- reduced stress levels (and like I said in my prior post stress makes you gain weight!)
Pilates isn’t necessarily going to burn calories, but the great thing about PilatesPlus is they have Spin classes too. It’s a nice balance. Personally I’m pretty lo-key with my exercise, and have found PilatesPlus to be just fast enough and intense enough of a workout to have the “burn” factor. But hey, I’m not going to stop you from getting a bit more “burn” for your buck.
If you decide you love it, well I can get you a deal for an unlimited pass for $99 a month, just leave me a comment and I’ll get back with you!
