Choosing the Right Pilates Class for You

Written By Tom Wray

With so many options, how do you find the right class? Consider your goals and experience level.

  • Mat Pilates: Great for building fundamental strength and control using just your body weight. A perfect starting point for beginners.

  • Reformer Pilates: Uses a machine with springs and a sliding carriage. It can add resistance and support, making it both more challenging and more adaptable.

  • Beginner vs. Mixed Level: A beginner class focuses on the basics, while a mixed-level class will offer modifications and progressions for all.

  • Class Energy: Look for an instructor that makes you feel comfortable and supported. The best class for you is one you'll want to keep going back to.
