What is hot Pilates?

Hot Pilates takes Pilates-based strength and core training into a heated room. The heat warms your muscles, makes you sweat and adds an extra challenge, while the movements stay low impact and easy on the joints. At J8, classes are music-driven and coached for every level, so you can work at your own edge whether it is your first class or your hundredth.
