Absolutely not. Pilates is for people who are invested in sustainable movement in whatever activities they love to do. From doing triathlons to spending weekends in the mountains to managing a health condition, this method is designed to help you keep doing what you love. Hear from clients who use Pilates at ALPS Movement to cross-train.
