GET FIT AT M.A.C. WEST
Be True to You: True Pilates
"I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world, should be doing my exercises. They'd be happier."
- Joseph Hubertus Pilates, in 1965, age 86

Juli Willeman, M.A.C. West's new True Pilates instructor, discovered Pilates after suffering from a running injury in 2001. As it turns out, the injury had a benefit: Willeman discovered a new way of life.
