Studio owner Bethany Mateosian announces that Springboard Pilates will lead Flash Mob Pilates throughout the city for the third summer in a row. It is free, fun, outdoor Pilates!

A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, and then quickly disperse. In New York, people assembled in a Hyatt hotel for 15 seconds of synchronized clapping, and a shoe boutique in SoHo was invaded by participants pretending to be tourists on a bus trip. In Portland, they're carrying on the tradition with impromptu Pilates gatherings that meet at different times and places all over the city.

Last year there was an afternoon on the Maine State Pier, an evening on the Eastern Promenade, and sunset at Fort Williams, just to name a few. Springboard's flash mobs take advantage of Mainers' and tourists' predispositions to be outside during the summer months, getting out of the studio and treating their clients (and anyone else who wants to join) to a fun core strengthening workout in different locations all over town.
