About Me

Joe's Pila-T-Shop is an on-line boutique that merges fashion's latest t-shirt trends with fun, Pilates-inspired phrases to create some of the funkiest Pilates tees on the market. Our popular phrases include * Got Powerhouse? * Contrology Freak! * Welcome to Joe's Torture Chamber! * Joe's Disciple * Flow Like Joe * Our Pilates T-shirts can keep up through your most rigorous Pilates workouts yet easily transition from the Pilates studio to a lunch date. They're perfect to wear with cute sweat pants or your high-end pair of jeans. Joe's Pila-T-Shop is also a Magic Circle Community : your core communication center to post or discuss your favorite pilates topics, studios, products and resources.

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
