WundaBar Pilates is the first to bridge that gap. We combine strength and movement safety in Pilates – all That’s in the exclusive WundaFormer – a Pilates reformer, Wunda chair, ballet, and jump plank, all in one machine.”

So, what exactly does exercise entail? “We focus on starting every movement with your core — even squats or triceps curls,” Amy revealed. “If you can energize your core with breathing, you will get more out of every workout! Think of it this way: Instead of pushing your legs off the ground to rise from a squat, take a breath to rise and think of LIFT instead of pushing for length and tone in your core as you sculpt.” Your booty!”

WundaBar is a “full-body experience” Amy explained, “For example, if you’re doing a biceps curl, we’re talking triceps extension with elbow bent, biceps extension with arm open. This upends the old way of exercising to bring in movement.” To the future by sharing the workload, and having every part of your body in the party!”
