It’s back to school and back to the pilates studio – the Powerhouse Pilates newsletter for September is here, sharing our latest Powerhouse Pilates’ awesome new challenge, important tips regarding abs & more!
Health Tip of the Month: Importance of Core
We would all love to have abs, right? Six packs, especially in Southern California, are all the rage. Turns out, though, there’s more to great abdominals besides looks. That’s because having strong abdominals help to:
- Have Good Posture – Having your body in alignment helps, in turn, with a health back, neck and more.
- Get Better Balance – A strong core empowers you to hold positions longer and stronger.
- Prevent Injuries – For the reasons mentioned above, such as the stability and strength, a solid core empowers the whole body to have higher level of fitness, lessening chance of posture or pose problems and reducing chance of injury.
- Protect Organs and Your Nervous System – Stronger abdominals makes for a core that can better protect your inner body and systems, especially because core muscles support the crucial spinal cord.
- Trim the Middle – Studies have shown that belly fat is the most dangerous type in the whole body; it is the type that surrounds your internal organs and encourages conditions associated with extra weight – such as diabetes and heart disease.
Plus, with that trimmed mid section, you feel wickedly awesome about how you look!

Take Cool to a Whole New Level with Healing Cryotherapy (Chill N Out)
As the weather cools, we suggest taking your cooling to a level that can heal your body in incredible ways. World-famous performers and inspirational achievers like Tony Robbins have rallied around the process that is cryotherapy. Now, it’s San Diego at Chill N Out – at a discount price for you.
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is strategically done in a cryosauna, which uses gasiform nitrogen to lower body temperatures to help heal and strengthen the body. It has similar effects as an ice bath would, except (instead of the pain you see of ice baths in a gymnast movie’s “Eye of the Tiger” montage) cryotherapy is WAY more comfortable. When undergoing cryotherapy, your blood becomes intensely enriched then, after the session, that healthy blood is pulled back through the body in order to target injuries and critical areas. This process also triggers the release of anti-inflammatory molecules and endorphins.
The head of Chill N Out is offering a super discount price for an initial session to all Powerhouse Pilates students. A highly trained and professional staff will be there to walk you through the process, answer any questions and even set up a personalized plan for your specific needs.
Discount Price : Just $30
