Love Pilates? STRONG Pilates is opening a new branch in San Juan City
Pilates lovers, consider your next workout spot found.
STRONG Pilates, an international fitness brand that was founded in Australia, is set to officially open a new branch in San Juan City on June 20, giving fitness enthusiasts another place to experience its signature low-impact, high-intensity workouts.
According to their website, the Pilates studio prides itself with their "low-impact Pilates-inspired resistance training," which they tout as a "first-of-its-kind workout."
Lasting for 45 to 50 minutes, the fitness movement combines rowing or riding with Pilates-inspired movements using their new innovative Rowformer and Bikeformer.
This allows you to work your upper body, back, legs, booty, obliques, and abs. It is also cardio-infused, with a trio of five-minute rowing intervals to get your heart rate up.
"The STRONG workout is unlike anything you’ve done before. Our Rowformer is the first machine to combine resistance training with cardio HIIT training. Our classes combine strong controlled movements (slow twitch muscle fibre activation that helps build endurance) and bursts of fast movement (fast twitch fibre activation that promotes speed and power)," the brand explained.
"Add cardio HIIT training with rowing, and you have a unique, challenging way to work out. For a new kind of strong. Plus, with little to no impact on your joints, it’s one of the safest and most efficient ways to train."
According to them, it's recommended to participate in three classes a week to get the most benefits of the STRONG workout.
If you're new to Pilates or just starting your fitness journey, STONG Pilates assures all fitness levels are welcome in each class, so there’s no need for beginner classes.
"Our STRONG trainers can modify the class to your needs. If you’re doing the STRONG workout for the first time, arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can get you comfortable with the Rowformer," they said.
While their classes are intense, they underscored that trainers can adjust the intensity to your needs, as the rowformer changes angles to target different areas of the body during the exercises.
"Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get it first go. Enjoy the beats, embrace the challenge, and give yourselves a couple of weeks to get to know the exercises and flow of the classes," they said.
To book a class, you must first download their STRONG app for either iPhone or Android and choose a membership or class pack that suits you. For now, the studio is offering special rates fir their VIP Memberships.
You can opt to book their VIP 2 Session Membership for P2,245 or their VIP Unlimited Membership for P2,995.
STRONG's new branch is located at 2/F, Santolan Town Plaza, 276 Col. Bonny Serrano Ave., San Juan.
