People ask ‘can anyone do pilates?’ Because Pilates can be modified to provide either a gentle strength training program or a challenging workout, most people would have no problem with this form of exercise. It is suitable for both complete beginners and those that already exercise regularly, including athletes from all denominations of sport.
