Strong Pilates will open its second Texas location in Cinco Ranch this summer.

The big picture

According to its website, customers can choose from a range of 45-minute classes, including:
  • Strong loaded, which emphasizes strength
  • Strong body, a well-rounded pilates-inspired workout
  • Strong sweat, aimed at providing a physical and mental workout
  • Pilates only
  • Beginner class, an introduction to the rowformer
