It's Fact Friday — and this one is for the men! 💪

(And for every woman who has been trying to convince a husband, brother, son or mate to give Pilates a go, feel free to share this one 😄)

🧠 FACT: Joseph Pilates was a man. He developed his method to train boxers, gymnasts and dancers and it has been used by elite male athletes for over a century.

Today, Pilates is used by some of the world's top sporting names 👇

⛳ Golfers — Pilates builds the rotational core strength needed for a powerful, consistent swing, while improving the hip and thoracic mobility that protects the back from the repetitive demands of the game

🏃 Runners — Pilates corrects muscle imbalances that lead to injury, strengthens the glutes and hip stabilisers and improves running efficiency and posture

⚽ Footballers — Premier League clubs including Manchester City and Liverpool have incorporated Pilates into their training programmes to improve agility, reduce injury risk and speed up recovery

And you don't have to be a professional athlete to benefit. Whether you play five-a-side on a Saturday, enjoy a round of golf at the weekend or run a few times a week, Pilates will make you better at it. 💪

I already have men in my classes and every single one of them will tell you the same thing: they wish they'd started sooner.

Curious? Come and find out for yourself. 💜
