Return Pilates

What do the springs on our reformers mean?
​
1 x Yellow spring ​💛 
​The yellow spring is the lightest spring option. It is equivalent to a 1/4 spring tension.
​
​1 x Blue spring 💙 The blue spring is the medium spring. It equals to a 1/2 spring tension
​
​3 x Red springs ❤️  Our red springs are the heaviest spring, equalling 1 full spring. All 3 red springs have the same tension.
​
Overall, the springs will determine the amount of resistance on your reformer.

​Our instructors will always provide you with different spring levels for each exercise to ensure that the resistance suits you!

How consistently should you do Pilates? 💭

This answer is different for everyone!
You can participate in as many classes a week as you feel you can manage. Pilates can be done every day if desired!

If Pilates is your only form of exercise, we recommend beginning with 2-4 times a week and progressing from there.

If you do your Pilates sessions alongside other forms of exercise during the week, it is best to aim for 1-3 sessions depending on what you can achieve.

This can all depend on your personal goals, your schedule, and how your body responds after your classes. There is no right or wrong!

If you’re not sure how many suits you, ask your instructor next time you visit or send us a message 🤍
