How often should I do Pilates to see results?

This question comes up a lot when people are just beginning Pilates training. And well, there is no good answer to this question! EveryBODY is different and will require varying levels of training to see their desired results.

A good rule to stand by: it’s important to move everyday, whether this is just going for a walk outside or joining a Pilates class here at the studio. Our recommendation is to add Pilates into your movement routine 2-3 times per week. But we know you’re busy and sometimes this is too much. So remember, once you cultivate a practise of intentional movement principles, any movement you do creates a positive impact on your health & wellbeing.
