- Jul 25, 11The reformer gets reinvented at Pilates ProWorks, a sleek and stylish studio where upbeat music by the likes of Lady Gaga and Phoenix provide the soundtrack to personalized Pilates, barre, and TRX classes. Using an upgraded, more versatile apparatus known as a FitFormer — which allows for stronger muscles, smoother exercises, and less impact on the joints — each 55-minute Pilates Pro class fuses core practice with traditional fitness moves like lunges, shoulder presses, and cardio elements for an all-around workout.Client: Pilates ProWorks, San Francisco, USA

Amazon: amazon.com/1000-Fonts-Keith-Martin/Finding the perfect font is tricky, and in an increasingly digital age, the options seem endless.
This handy volume takes the mystery out of font selection by displaying the entire alphabet and numerals for 1000 unique typefaces, making it easy for designers – or anyone who works with type – to find the perfect face for any job. And, an additional feature, color photos offer real-world examples of many of the fonts in action, showing how they translate from screen to final layout.
