HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS FROM REFORMER PILATES?

A 2016 study showed you get quicker results from Reformer Pilates than mat alone so how long before you actually see the results?

The length of time it takes to see results from pilates can vary depending on a variety of factors, including an individual’s fitness level, frequency of practice, and overall health. However, with regular practice and dedication, many individuals can begin to see results within a few weeks.

WEEKS 1-2: INCREASED AWARENESS AND MIND-BODY CONNECTION

In the first two weeks of practicing pilates, individuals may begin to notice an increased awareness of their body and a stronger mind-body connection. Pilates requires focus and concentration, and as individuals become more familiar with the movements and techniques, they will begin to feel more connected to their bodies. This connection can lead to improved posture, better balance, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

WEEKS 3-4: IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY AND CORE STRENGTH

After a few weeks of regular pilates practice, individuals may begin to notice improvements in their flexibility and core strength. Pilates movements target the muscles of the core, including the abdominals, back, and hips. Strengthening these muscles can lead to improved posture, reduced back pain, and increased overall stability.

WEEKS 5-6: INCREASED STAMINA AND ENDURANCE

By the fifth and sixth week of regular pilates practice, individuals may begin to notice increased stamina and endurance. Pilates is a low-impact exercise that can be modified to suit any fitness level, making it an excellent form of exercise for individuals looking to improve their overall fitness. As individuals become more comfortable with the movements and techniques, they can increase the intensity and duration of their practice, leading to increased stamina and endurance.

WEEKS 7-8: IMPROVED OVERALL FITNESS

After two months of regular pilates practice, individuals may begin to notice improved overall fitness. Pilates can lead to increased muscle tone, a leaner look and reduced stress levels. Regular practice can also lead to improved sleep quality, better mental clarity, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE PARKING 11TH-16TH JULY

To enhance security of the car park after hours, the landlords are replacing the existing gates with automated sliding and swing gates. The works will commence on Thursday 11th July and will run through until Tuesday 16th July whereupon the gates should be fully operational.

On Thursday and possibly Friday 11th & 12th July, the entrance way (Genix end) will not be in use, and temporary directional signage will be in place in addition to temporary signage advising of no public parking, only permit holders. VCS will be providing
additional patrols to assist with this.

Once installed, the gates will open automatically at 7.00am and will close at 6.30pm in line with the car park’s normal operating hours.
There will be a loop system at the exit gate. If anyone is still
parked after closing time, they will be able to drive up to the gate,
which will then automatically open to let them out, and will then
close again once exited.
The car park behind Izgara restaurant and behind Bella Vita are still operational but please bear in mind they may be busier than usual. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Interesting!

PILATES HISTORY:
This is the article of 1967 that came out in the
New York Times after Joe Pilates death.
I re-wrote it for you using the old type-writer font
to keep the original style but could be easily readable.
Enjoy your reading :*

Ha!

You may have seen the article in The Times this week about the safety of Pilates Reformer classes. Demand has surged and there are classes popping up in gyms now rather than just dedicated Pilates Studios. I've been in the fitness industry for 34 years and teaching Reformer for over 20. There are absolutely Reformer exericises I would only teach 121 and not in a group setting for safety reasons. Of course with any form of exercise there's a risk of injury but I am 100% aware of the potential risks on a Reformer because of decades of my own practice and thousands of hours teaching. I'd also rather have a good Pilates teacher take me round a gym rather than a poorly trained one put me on a Reformer! You can rest assured at my studio you're coming to a group of teachers who are fully aware and trained in using and teaching on the Reformer safely and have many many thousands of hours experience between us. Hope to see you in class soon!
