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.

You can book a class using BodyLove Pilates studio app from your iPhone App Store or Android Play Store. Once logged in, you will be able to book your classes, manage your account details, view history and even make purchases. 

Kindly arrive 10 minutes before your first class to get changed and ready.  New clients are required to fill up an Indemnity and Waiver form via BodyLove App when you log into their profile.  New clients are required to fill up an e-registration form and disclose any injuries or medical conditions for our acknowledgement. We will then be able to assess your condition and advise on the class suitability or modify the workout to your needs. 

We would recommend comfortable or form-fitting clothes that allow our instructors to assess your body alignment. Grip socks are MANDATORY for safety reasons, and are available for sale at our studio. 

Please WhatsApp us at +65 89099767. An instructor will be arranged based on your preferred days, timing and assess your physical conditions. You may then purchase a Private Class package after details have been finalised. 

For clients who fall under any of the following categories, we recommend starting with private classes before progressing to group classes:

• Pre/Post Natal
• Mobility difficulties
• History of orthopaedic surgeries
• Existing or past injuries that affect mobility
• Mid to severe Scoliosis

For personalised guidance and advice, please contact us at +65 89099767.

Our small group classes offer personalized attention with a maximum of 5 to 6 participants. Each individual receives focused guidance and support from our instructors, helping you achieve your fitness goals.

Minimum age for group classes is 17 years old.  For clients younger than 17 and elderly clients, we advise going for our Private classes.

*Disclaimer: For clients below 17 years old, parent accompaniment is required for a minor to the first class. 

We are open for booking daily for classes 14 days in advance. For example: if you intend to book classes on 1st February, the class will be available for booking on 18th January.  Booking window closes 6 hours before the class commences.  New schedules for the new month will be release on 25th week of the month.

For individuals with a pre-existing Pilates regimen prior to their pregnancy, we offer specialised Pre-Natal Private Sessions. These are available from the first trimester onward. For those new to Pilates, beginning your practice in your second trimester is advisable for optimal safety. We kindly request that all participants secure a verification from their gynaecologist before commencing any Pilates classes. It is important to note that our prenatal and postnatal programs are exclusively available as private sessions to ensure the highest level of personal attention and safety.

We recommend a postpartum period of 6 to 8 weeks before joining our Reformer Pilates classes. This interval ensures that participants have ample time for initial recovery. We also require a clearance from a healthcare provider to ensure the classes align with your specific postnatal recovery process. Our aim is to provide a supportive and safe environment, hence our prenatal and postnatal offerings are tailored through private sessions rather than group classes, allowing us to fully cater to the unique needs of new mothers.

Our instructors will assess your medical conditions based on your registration form and may ask for a medical certification from your physician if necessary. 

We would recommend private classes during your initial stage of recovery, as it allows one-on-one undivided attention and group classes tend to involve a full body workout which may be challenging for the injured client and the instructor.
