$20 to Boost Core Strength with 3 Introductory Pilates Classes in Drummoyne ($40 value)

Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, tied his feet to bell ropes and dangled upside down during clanging renditions of the Brandenburg Concerto in an attempt to ease his aching posture. Improve your own alignment and core strength in a less deafening environment with today’s deal: for $20 you get 3 one hour Pilates sessions at Pilates with a Twist, Drummoyne ($40 value).

Developed in the 1920s, Pilates is the fitness choice for celebrities and health-conscious mortals alike. Designed to nurture even deeply planted couch potatoes into athlete grade Adoni, this exercise system improves strength, flexibility, posture and coordination. While the whole body is targeted, core abdominal, back and butt muscles are emphasised. Feelings of superhuman wellness, sensations of increased attractiveness, and an all-important flattening of the tummy region result.

Taught by an ex-ballet dancer with over ten years Pilates experience, this three week course suits any fitness level. Hands-on correction ensures students perform at peak ability and rocket towards personal conditioning goals, lowering stress and expanding breathing capacity along the way. Each one-hour class welcomes students into a safe, supportive, air conditioned environment where fun and postural improvement are, um, core values.
