Like the framework of a mighty skyscraper, the core helps humans to hold up the weight of the sky. Stay firm against the firmament with today's Groupon: for $85, you get three private Pilates sessions at Evolution Pilates in Port Washington (a $255 value).

Evolution Pilates whittles middles with a variety of stretch-centric private classes. Over the course of three private sessions, the studio’s certified and trained instructors devote full focus to clients as they sculpt muscle-bound totems out of old-growth torsos. Learn the ins and outs of the studio’s intricate equipment during introductory workouts, fostering core strength and improved alignment with the steadfast reformer machine, ascending to new exercise stratospheres with tower workouts, or managing pain and maintaining joint mobilization with classic mat moves. Though not included in today’s Groupon, group classes help to prolong the brawn-building magic once clients successfully navigate the contours of individual instruction.

All Evolution instructors consult with chiropractors, acupuncturists, nutritionists, and spirit animals to enhance their arsenal of holistic prowess, using all-natural know-how to ease the transformation of clients’ stamina, posture, and balance.
