What is the difference between Reformer and Studio Pilates?
Reformers are probably the most well known Pilates machine and there are places that just offer group sessions using this one piece of equipment which tend to be higher tempo, dynamic or even bootcamp Pilates. Generally people refer to equipment Pilates as Reformer Pilates as it is the most commonly used.
Beginning Pilates?
We see plenty of gym goers who have gained injuries by working too hard, too quickly without a solid foundation. Pilates gives you that strong postural foundation in order to support more challenging moves and helps to prevent injuries. Just ask top performing athletes or celebrities who swear by Pilates.
How Long Does it Take to Work?
Straight away! Pilates is a workout for beginners, you will get warm and know you have been doing exercise! The famous quote from the founder Joseph Pilates is ‘In ten sessions, you will feel the difference; in 20 you will see the difference; and in 30 you will have a whole new body’. Pilates like anything takes time but if you are committed you will really start to notice a difference. Don’t believe us? Check out our reviews. It will give you the foundation and strengthen your deeper postural muscles to support higher impact activities.
