Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the body, particularly the core muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting overall body awareness. Joseph Pilates developed it in the early 20th century, combining elements of yoga, dance, and gymnastics. Pilates exercises can be performed on a mat or using specialized equipment like the Reformer and EXO Chair. Pilates suits people of all fitness levels and can be adapted to meet individual needs and goals. It is often used for rehabilitation, general fitness, and enhancing athletic performance.

If you're new to Pilates, we recommend starting with a one-on-one private session with an instructor to learn the basics. You can also book a private, self-service video room for an Introduction to Reformer Pilates class. If you prefer a group class, choose an open-level class and let the instructor know it's your first time. We understand that starting something new can be intimidating, but with the help of our well-trained staff and certified instructors, you'll be a pro in no time!

Pilates strengthens your core, improves flexibility, and enhances posture, reducing injury risk and alleviating back pain. It also boosts body awareness, coordination, and balance, relieves stress, increases muscle tone, and supports injury rehabilitation. With controlled movements, Pilates helps you build a stronger, more flexible, and balanced body.

The ideal frequency for practicing Pilates depends on your fitness goals, current fitness level, and schedule. However, a common recommendation is to aim for 2 to 3 times per week. This allows you to experience the benefits of Pilates, such as improved strength, flexibility, and body awareness, while also giving your muscles time to recover between sessions. If you're new to Pilates, we recommend you start with 1 to 2 sessions per week and gradually increase the frequency as you become more comfortable with the exercises. For those looking to achieve specific fitness goals or rehabilitation outcomes, a more tailored plan created by a Pilates instructor or fitness professional may be beneficial.
