Located in Poblenou’s Olympic Village, Fusión y Pilates is a modern centre with top-quality facilities and a dedicated and experienced staff. They currently offer four different types of Pilates classes:
Mat-based group classes – With groups divided by skill level, these classes are slow and technical. Using the classic Pilates mat, you’ll work on your arms and legs by transitioning from position to position in a fluid manner.
Stability classes – Customized sessions for people with back problems. Movements and postures are adapted to avoid injury and optimize pain relief.
Pregnant Pilates – Special classes for pregnant women. To participate, you’ll need to be over 13 weeks pregnant and have a note from your doctor authorizing the practice. The main objective of these classes is to improve the woman’s well-being, prepare her for labor and promote a faster physical recovery after giving birth.
Hypopressive Method – These type of classes target the core without inflicting detrimental pressure to the abdominal wall or pelvic floor. They help prevent cardiovascular problems, osteoporosis, hernias and other conditions.
In addition to these forms of Pilates, the centre also offers physiotherapy and osteopathy services, as well as nutrition counseling.
