- Increases your flexibility and muscle strength. Pilates is a full-body workout that puts an emphasis on strengthening your core muscles, leading to better posture, muscle flexibility, and toned, shapelier muscles. It doesn't add a lot of muscle mass, but it shapes your muscles beautifully. The first thing you'll notice is that your clothes will look different on you, they'll be more voluminous. Plus, with regular Pilates training, you're sure to earn compliments on how good you look in the long run!
- Reduces stress and increases mental focus: to do Pilates well requires concentration and control. This helps to reduce your stress levels and bring you into focus. The mind-body connection is at the heart of Pilates, helping you to relax and feel good about yourself. Guaranteed, you won't have time to think about what you have to do today or what you forgot to do. I like to call it a coffee break for your brain.
- Reduces the risk of injury: in Pilates class we put a lot of emphasis on making sure you do the exercises well, and we'll constantly improve, helping you to do them as accurately as possible. It helps to balance your muscles, helping to keep your joints moving correctly. We increase muscle strength, introduce correct movement patterns and improve the neuromuscular connection. All this together supports you to prevent or even avoid injuries.
- Improve your sense of balance and coordination: in Pilates class, we often do exercises on unstable surfaces, striving for precision, so you'll have better balance and more beautiful movement.
- A training programme can be written for all fitness levels: there are many variations possible. From complete beginners to professional athletes, we can support you with Pilates to help you reach your goals. Plus, all you need is a mat, but if you want a really varied workout, you should choose a studio with machines.
