Pilates is appropriate for people of all ages, sizes, genders, and abilities. With over 600 exercises and variations, a Pilates workout can be tailored to any skill level. It is a low-impact training method that builds the core muscles, aligns the body and prevents future injuries,  making it suitable for beginners.

Like all exercises, it is recommended that you do it three-times-per-week. If possible, daily practice can help your body adjust to the demands of a Pilates class – but of course, you can choose to go at your own pace and make an effort to find a rhythm that works for you.

Pilates for beginners may seem difficult at first but as you continue your regular Pilates practice, you will begin to notice your physique changing from one moment to the next. As your self-awareness grows, you will become more in tune with what your body requires and will gain more confidence in what your body is able to achieve.

What is Pilates?

Pilates is a low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen your core muscles while also improving posture and flexibility.

In a Pilates class, beginners will find that there is a strong focus on breathing. Your breath provides vitality, synchronising with and acting as the key to effective core engagement. It is the cornerstone of all exercises.

Our beginner Pilates programme is designed to build a strong foundation in the Pilates method based on the latest sports science findings. During the initial period, you will learn the basic Pilates principles of centering, concentration, control, precision, breath, and flow that make Pilates a fitness experience for both the body and mind.

Pilates exercises the entire body as well as the mind. To get the most out of your routine, Pilates may include the use of various workout equipment such as the cadillac, chair and barrel. The emphasis will still remain on the core of the body so that the rest of the body may move freely, making your body stronger on the inside and out. The goal is to achieve a perfect balance between flexibility and strength, which results in stronger and toned muscles.
