Pilates for Men
Build strength, improve mobility, and move better with expert-led Pilates at Posie Pilates.
About Men Only Classes
I’ve been teaching men-only Pilates because many men simply weren’t showing up to unintentional ‘women-dominated’ classes, often feeling out of place or unsure whether Pilates was “for them.”
Creating a dedicated space has not only removed that barrier but also helped build a strong, consistent client community where the guys feel comfortable, supported, and motivated. Over time, it’s become more than just a class—it’s a group they look forward to seeing each week, with camaraderie that extends beyond the mat.
And yes, part of that fun, relaxed atmosphere includes the option to grab a beer together afterwards! And for those who can’t make it to the studio, I’ve created an easy-to-follow men-only online series you can do from home, making the benefits of Pilates accessible no matter your schedule or location.
Men’s Pilates Classes
Targeted workouts for core strength, hip mobility, back support, and full-body control.
Strong Core. Strong Body.
Men’s Pilates at Posie Pilates targets core strength, glutes, hips, and posture, so you move better in the gym, at work, and in sport.
Less Stiff. More Mobile.
Improve mobility through your hips, shoulders, and spine while building control. Ideal if you’re tight, sit a lot, or want to support your back long-term.
Why should Men do Pilates?
Men should do Pilates because it offers a unique combination of strength, mobility, and core stability that complements any lifestyle or training routine.
Unlike high-impact workouts that can strain the body, Pilates strengthens deep muscles, improves posture, and enhances overall functional movement, making everyday activities easier and reducing the risk of injury.
It’s especially beneficial for men who often focus on larger muscle groups while neglecting flexibility and balance. Pilates also supports better athletic performance, whether you’re a runner, golfer, weightlifter, or simply someone who is desk bound and wants to move and feel better.
Ultimately, it builds a strong, balanced body from the inside out, something every man can benefit from.
Posie has been teaching a weekly live male class for over 4 years.
We are known as ‘Men Only’ and late bookings are almost always disappointed by the class being booked up!
Posie has an excellent instructional style. Classes build progressively with a gradual warm up and down with a demanding section 2/3rds of the way through where the hard yards are made! There is an excellent atmosphere in class and lots of laughs; albeit beware the man found slacking! We are a tight knit group aged from mid thirties to early sixties who are carrying out stretches and moves now that even a year ago would have been beyond our wildest dreams!
I reap the benefits daily & cannot recommend Posie Pilates more highly.
