Pilates Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

The best way to start is with the Introductory Package – 4 private sessions. This way you can see if you like Pilates, and your instructor can best provide you with a workout that helps you achieve your optimal fitness goals.

What should I wear?

Socks and comfortable clothing that will allow you to easily move and stretch.

How often should I work out?

One session per week is better than nothing. However, to make larger fitness gains faster, two or three times a week is optimal. You should see results in four to six weeks, and in three months feel as though you have a whole new body!!!

Is it safe?

Pilates is a very safe, low-impact system. However, if you have been under a doctor’s care for an injury or recent operation, please ask your health care professional if you are ready to start.

Do I need to do other exercise?

Complementing Pilates with cardio workouts is beneficial, especially when you are trying to lose weight. Walking, swimming, hiking, biking, or using an elliptical trainer are all great ways to get your heart rate up without putting too much extra stress on your body.
