Pilates Fitness

One of the exercises to gain popularity in recent years is Pilates. I first heard of Pilates when Soccer Legend Ryan Giggs mentioned it in his interview. He has attributed his ability to play professional Soccer to 40yo due to the exercises involved in Yoga and Pilates. This piqued my interest in Pilates, and I have been interested to try it out ever since. (Do read to the end, and find out how you can Win a FREE Pilates Class)

Introducing to you Pilates Fitness! A fun way to not just tone your body but also lose weight at the same time!  Being the first in Singapore to introduce Pilates for weight loss, Pilates Fitness offers a high intensity workout that burns your calories effectively. I am sure “Losing Weight” will always strike a chord with all Singaporeans. With many of us spending long hours in the office, an increasing waist line is a constant worry for all executives.

Armed with this information, we made our way down to the nearest Pilates Fitness outlet for a trial class. Entering the Studio, we were first asked to do a weight test. This is something all of us busy people dread…but essential if we want to test effectiveness.

After hearing our BMIs, we were once again reminded to up our ante in our exercise program. We definitely need to be lighter! I am sure all of us can relate to that!

Finishing the preliminaries, we were ready to start our first weight loss class. At the class, we were also introduced to the Reformer machines for the very first time!  I have seen these machines before and I have always wondered how they worked. Before the class,  I thought they were some form of “Rowing Machines”, which were used for the exercises. However, they definitely serve a greater purpose!  Essentially, the reformer machines work together with the Pilates exercises to create a good cardio workout for all participants.

Through our introductory session with our Mega-fit instructor Candice, we were introduced to the workings of the machines. Although the machines were a bit foreign to us,  they were a very interesting and essential add-on to our workout. Check out the brief overview of Pilates Fitness here:

Next up was our actual lesson! We have never experienced a Pilates Reformer Session before and the lesson was certainly interesting. With Class size kept small (Max 10 people), the instructor was able to focus on us, and help the newbies with the various exercises. As we stretched, breathed and tried out the various poses, we stretched muscles we didn’t know existed. It was certainly challenging!  One of Pilates Fitness clients lost an amazing 17kg in 5 months from our Weight Loss classes! You may read all about her here.

After 55 mins, we went home with our hearts pumping and our bodies stretched. And if your wives are pregnant, you will be glad to know that Pilates Fitness has a Couple Prenatal Pilates Class. This is something fun that you can do something with your wife, and it is safe for expectant mothers in their 2nd or 3rd trimester. Prenatal Pilates will be great for Mummies, as it strengthens the tummy, back and pelvic floor muscles without straining other joints. This helps to stabilize your body by improving your balance & posture, and reduces the risk of injuries and body aches. Sounds good right!

We are definitely looking forward to our next visit to Pilates Fitness, as we want to see our fitness levels improved and our core muscles strengthened!
