“Ever since the ball dropped in Athens, we’ve wanted to repeat as Olympic champions,” May-Treanor said. “No one’s ever done it.” No one’s ever won 14 consecutive Olympic matches before, either, sweeping away their opponents in both Beijing and Athens without losing a single se t.

The great thing about Pilates is that it is so trendy, but it works! It really targets and strengthens the core in a way that is appealing and necessary for professional athletes. Especially in a sport like volleyball, where it is all about your core (so you are able to jump any direction at any time:) Pilates is a great thing to cross train with and incorporate into your life for anyone. At our uptown Pilates studio in NYC we see mostly non-athletes. The fact of the matter is that Pilates is accessible and beneficial to all people in all walks of life!
