I got into Pilates after years of weight training because I wanted a change in my workout method. I\u2019d always known Pilates was a great workout, but when a friend suggested I try it, I brushed it off at first (like most guys do). Eventually, I gave it a go, and was hooked from the first class. That was about two years ago, and I\u2019ve never looked back.<\/p>\n
