As the world has had to adapt to lockdown life and readjust to a new normality, online fitness classes have proved increasingly popular amongst many. One online fitness option that has really taken off is online Pilates classes. The pandemic has demonstrated the brilliance of the world wide web and how amazing it is at keeping us all connected. Fitness classes have been a great way to keep in touch with others, stay fit and help maintain a good mental wellbeing.
Here at Pilates Works, we originally operated studio classes from our studio based in Southport. When the pandemic struck it gave us a new opportunity to delve into the world of digital pilates classes. This meant that we could continue to provide our clients with the physical activity and wellbeing factors that come with pilates.
Pilates, both online or offline, is renowned for its low impact yet powerful exercises that improve your strength, posture, body tone and much more. Whether you are partaking in a studio class or an online pilates class, although there are differences between the workouts such as location, equipment and the environment, both of them provide great benefits for your body and your mind.
Online Pilates Classes
There are an array of advantages of online Pilates classes, first and foremost, location is no longer a problem, meaning if you can’t access the studio you can still join virtually wherever your geographical location. What we love about our online classes is that it has enabled us to sustain great social interaction with our clients and meet and connect with new ones across the country growing our community here at Pilates Works.
The other great thing about online Pilates sessions is that all you need to get involved is a broadband connection, a screen to download zoom and a mat. It really is that simple! Just make sure you have sufficient space to exercise and if possible, complete your Pilates session away from any distractions to ensure you can really make that mind to body connection. We suggest minimal distractions because this is the best way to achieve your desired results.
The unprecedented pandemic has shown us that online Pilates classes are effective and useful for both us and our clients because on top of the advantages mentioned above, it gives more people the opportunity to get involved.
We realised many clients wanted to join our Pilates classes, but before they were available online they were simply too busy with work and other commitments to attend our studio classes. Our online Pilates classes have been so successful because people have more time to fit our classes into their day. We have also noticed that clients are achieving amazing results at home which may be due to the fact they now have the time to attend more classes.
Operating online has allowed us to be more flexible by creating on demand classes. This has allowed us to grow our community further by reaching a wider audience who were already in demand of our Pilates classes.
In Studio Pilates Classes
On the other hand if you are raring to get back to the studio, there are benefits of in studio Pilates classes too. Based in Southport here in the studio you can benefit from using our top of the range Pilates equipment such as our wall tower, reformer, wunda chairs and much more. Although mat Pilates are excellent and can be done both at home or in the studio, by using additional equipment you can further develop your strength, flexibility and balance. Our equipment in the studio is rarely seen outside of London which is what makes our studio experience unique to any other, which is one of the reasons our clients have such a high level of satisfaction.
Furthermore, our in-studio classes give you the opportunity to escape your usual home environment and get together in a socially distanced environment to improve your mind and body connection. You can access our timetable online and book Pilates classes to suit your availability.
Summary of Pilates Classes
We have observed that there are great benefits and exceptional results from both our online classes, our in studio classes and a combination of the two. Either way, ultimately your results are based on how much time and effort you put into Pilates- the more you do the better you will feel. Pilates Works have worked hard to create a series of classes to suit all abilities and to work around your day, evening and your budget.
