One to one, duets or to a maximum of 3 at a time. It has been proven this is the most efficient and effective way to learn pilates.

As pioneers in Pilates since 1999, we have worked with thousands of clients from all walks of life over 2 decades. Under PhysicalMind Insititue, New York, our Pilates studio in Singapore became the first certifying Pilates studio in South East Asia. We have conducted multiple teacher’s training programs and workshops for students, teachers, clients and physiotherapists. As our teacher trainer, Joanna, has incorporated various aspects of her training into her style of functional movements, be it for fitness or rehabilitation. Her sessions are educational, interactive and fun. It is our guarantee that you would feel the difference from just a session with her.

Please bring or come in comfortable gear that is slightly fitted but comfortable enough to allow ease of movement. A pair of covered toes fitted sock over the ankle is mandatory for hygiene purposes. Or you can buy it from the studio.

Please bring a towel, socks and your own water bottle. You could bring your own mat (if you prefer) although mats, equipment and small apparatus is provided in the studio.

For beginners, one class a week for a start to see how your body feel after. If you are quite fit, you can do 2 or more classes a week.

If you are cleared by your doctor, Pilates is a safe way to levitate low back pain by increasing spinal disc space in the lower back and building core strength to support your back.

If you are relatively fit and active before pregnancy, you could start or continue with Pilates. If not, please get your doctor’s clearance.

Pilates is a total body conditioning program. You get what you put in. If you are engaging your muscles fully, you will feel muscle soreness afterwards but never any pain. It also depends on your fitness level. You would feel more fatigued if you are a new beginner.

“In 10 sessions you will feel better, in 20 you will look better, and in 30 you will have a whole new body.” ~Joseph Pilates

 If you are doing 2-3 classes a week, you should start to see results in 10-12 weeks. If you attend one class a week, you will still see results but it might take longer.

Pilates could be a cardio workout if you have no injuries and are at immediate to advanced level, doing jump-board routines combined with endurance strength training exercises. And done at least 3 to 4 times a week. Otherwise, Pilates is a low impact, body and mind workout.

Always take a session with a teacher to see how you feel about it. Obviously, private session costs more than group training and comes with numerous advantages. In doing a private session, you get undivided attention with a hands-on approach customized for you only. You learn at your own speed and could ask questions throughout your session. More importantly, you are not subjected to a pre-planned day and time slot. Group sessions is a one size fits all workouts and may not suit some individuals.
