Built Not Broken
Why Men Need Pilates, Strength & Smarter Training
For too long, men’s health and fitness has been defined by “pushing harder, lifting heavier, and pushing through pain.” While grit and determination have their place, many men end up ignoring the basics- mobility, stability, core strength, and recovery. The result? Injuries, chronic pain, or simply a body that doesn’t move the way it used to.
That’s why we created Built Not Broken a men’s-only Pilates fusion class that combines Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates, and functional strength training. This class isn’t about stretching in a quiet room or doing endless sit-ups. It’s about building a body that works for you: strong, mobile, and resilient so you can keep doing the things you love, for longer.
Why More Men Need to Train Smarter
Men are often guilty of “abusing” their bodies through years of heavy work, hard training, or simply ignoring niggles until they turn into bigger problems. Back pain, tight hips, shoulder injuries, and knee issues are common, and they don’t just affect sport—they impact work, family life, and long-term health.
The truth is: you only get one body. If you don’t look after it now, it won’t look after you later. Training smarter by focusing on proper movement, stability, and strength means fewer injuries, better performance, and more energy for life.
What to Expect in Built Not Broken
Each 45-minute class blends:
Mat Pilates for core strength, stability, and mobility.
Reformer Pilates for control, alignment, and muscle balance.
Strength training with weights and functional movements to build power and resilience.
This combination creates a complete workout designed specifically for men who want to move better, recover stronger, and stay active.
Who It’s For
Men recovering from injuries who want to train safely.
Tradesmen or physical workers who need to protect their bodies.
Runners, cyclists, or gym-goers who want to balance out their training.
Any man ready to invest in his long-term health.
The Takeaway
Built Not Broken is more than just a Pilates class it’s a way to future-proof your body. Instead of pushing harder and breaking down, it’s about moving smarter and building up.
You’ve only got one body. Start looking after it now, and it will keep looking after you.
