Chair Pilates classes now open in Port Macquarie. Pilates based exercises performed seated on a chair. Chair Pilates is a great way for people to get the health benefits of exercise without needing to lie down on a mat. Staying seated enables people who have limited balance and mobility or are in a wheelchair to perform the exercises safely and work towards increasing their strength and flexibility.
