| hip tips | about the workout
HIP is based on the fundamental principles of Pilates. We work muscles simultaneously and continually, training the body as a whole, and encouraging the mind and body to cohesively work together. We combine cardio, strength training, restorative stretches and extra-high-intensity training to maximize your calorie burn, resulting in defined abs, sculpted legs, toned arms and an experience that strengthens your overall well-being. HIP pilates is our essential class. It's designed to increase muscle mass, boost your metabolism and reshape your body. A key to truly seeing results is rest and recovery–this workout is not recommended for every day.
