Could San Diego be the Pilates capital of the world?

San Diego residents are proud of the fact that their city was listed third in the 2015 American Fitness Report produced by the American College of Sports Medicine. The rankings are based on a composite of preventive health behaviors, chronic disease, health care access, and community resources that support physical activities.

One of the biggest benefits of living in this beach community just north of the California/Mexico border, is the many outdoor activities available to residents. Activities such as biking, hiking, swimming, walking and running are always possible because San Diego enjoys moderate temperatures and blue skies nearly year round.

Those in the area who want to achieve a their peak level of fitness have added PIlates to their workout routine. Pilates is a group of revolutionary, low impact exercises that emphasizes strengthening the core muscles and toning the entire body, both of which are beneficial when endeavoring to do any other physical activity.
