Pilates

  Instructor demonstrating a pilates exercise Copyright: © HSZ Walter

Pilates is a gentle and effective workout for both mind and body created by Joseph H. Pilates. Exercises are conducted slowly and precisely through conscious, concentrated breathing. Individual muscle groups are individually stretched and strengthened. The exercises are fluid and smooth. The goal is to build a strong body center, the so-called Power House which strengthens deep muscles close to the spine.

 
Notes regarding the interim sports hall

We kindly ask for your understanding that due to the extraordinary temporary interim situation, the usual room climate cannot always be guaranteed.

Until the temperature control in the Interim Sports Complex is adjusted, sports classes continue as usual. We recommend dressing a bit warmer or bringing a jacket. The University Sports Center is actively working with a specialized firm to resolve the situation promptly. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
