Why Men Should Try It: Its reputation as being a stretching-heavy class geared mainly toward dancers isn’t necessarily true, says Jenn Seracuse, director of Pilates at Flex Studios in New York City. “[Founder] Joseph Pilates wasn’t a dancer, and he was, in fact, a man!” she says. In fact, the practice has quite masculine origins: Pilates created his workout as a way to help wounded soldiers with limited mobility rehab from their hospital beds.
Seracuse’s clients are mostly female, but guys are missing out, she says. Stereotypically male workout routines tend to make men tighter, and Pilates can increase their flexibility, which in turn can benefit everything from running form to golf swing, she says, not to mention within the gym.
