Attention, men! While many women fill up Pilates classes, don't be fooled—Pilates benefits both genders equally. By integrating Pilates classes into your life, you will be making a solid commitment to improving your health, strength, and power. When you practice at Pilates 580, you will work with the most dedicated, knowledgeable instructors in Oakland, CA.

So, why is it beneficial for men to form a Pilates practice?

• Pilates Increases Mindfulness: If you have a morning Pilates practice, the first conscious breath you take will probably be in class. By taking steady breaths, you can feel more grounded in the present moment. This is a skill you can take with you after class ends for the day. Also, if you exercise with mindfulness you are less likely to become injured. 

• Pilates Builds Core Strength: If you are a cyclist, swimmer, or runner, you will benefit from building core strength. Having strong core muscles will increase balance, performance speed, and improve your agility. Did you know that you can lift weights more mindfully with a strong core? Core muscles are the building blocks of a powerful athletic life.

When you combine mindfulness with core strength, you will become unstoppable. At Pilates 580, you will work with trainers who believe in your ability to become your best self, mentally and physically.
