The Philosophy „The Physical fitness is the first requisite for happiness“ is the guiding principle to Vero Pilates, founded and run by Sonja Gerber and Elio Dalla Giovanna, both certified by Romana Kryzanowska, protégé of Joseph Pilates.

What is Pilates?

Pilates is exercise. It is a method of body conditioning created by Joseph Pilates. The Pilates method trains the mind and body together toward the goal of overall fitness. In three words it is stretch, strength and control, all at the same time.

What is Pilates for?

Pilates is the godfather of core strength training  More specifically, the core are the muscles that support your spine and include the muscles of your shoulder girdle, pelvis, and abdominal area. People typically think "Abs" but it is much more than that. In the abdominal area, the muscles worked are the rectus abdominus, obliques, transversus abdominus, spinal extensors and pelvic floor. These muscles commonly known as your powerhouse, in addition to your shoulder girdle and pelvis are connected and working (or should be) the entire time you are in a Pilates class. Working those muscles will improve  your posture, overall health and well being.
