Originally known as ‘Contrology’, Pilates was conceived to rehabilitate wounded soldiers during World War I. Till date, it is still practised as a post-rehab solution, while many do Pilates regularly to prevent injuries. 

Pilates helps to: 

1. Improved posture 

2. Increased facility 

3. Better balance 

4. Strength core & stretch tight muscles 

5. Improvements in other workouts 

6. Better mind & health awareness 

Reformer Pilates and Mat Pilates both provide similar benefits, however the amount of resistance and tension can be regulated with the use of a reformer. 

The resistance created by the pulley and spring system provides a more challenging strength and endurance workout compared to Mat Pilates. As such, it produces quicker results to the arms, legs, abdominal muscles and even for your bum. 

The Reformer might look intimidating and daunting, but it is actually a simple piece of exercise equipment. However, the workouts are required to be performed properly, with the correct technique, focus and precision which our instructors will provide you guidance to ensure safe and effective applications. 

Pilates can be a positive addition to your overall weight loss plan. As it strengthens, tones and builds muscle mass, it accelerates the body’s metabolic rate, aiding in weight loss (complementing with cardio). With stronger muscles, it metabolises fat more effectively compared to weak muscles.  We would recommend doing cardio workouts coupled with strength training (eg: Pilates) and a balanced diet to achieve weight loss healthily. 

We offer a variety of classes that suits everyone. If you are new to our studio, we recommend starting with Reformer Core our signature class offers the fundamentals of Reformer Pilates. Complete at least 3 to 5 sessions Reformer Core and we would recommend you to progress forward to next level of classes like Sculpt Reformer, Cardio Reformer, Tower Reformer and Chair Reformer.
