Commonly Asked Questions About Pilates
May I use my insurance for Pilates Conditioning?
No. Our Pilates Conditioning Services are separate from physical therapy services. Pilates Conditioning is a one-on-one body conditioning session with a Certified Pilates Instructor that has extensive training in the Pilates field.
How often should I take a session?
We recommend 2 sessions a week to get the maximum results, but Pilates is a great addition to cross training with other activities as it focuses on core stability.
How quick should I expect to see results?
You will start to see results after about 8 sessions. Visual results differ for each individual. How quickly you see results is largely dependent upon how many sessions you take.
Do I need to be flexible to do Pilates?
No. Pilates will help build the strength and flexibility you desire. Pilates will actually increase your flexibility without straining you muscles.
Will Pilates help me lose weight?
Pilates will create muscle tone and definition as well as strength and flexibility. It can help with weight management if it is paired with cardiovascular exercise at least one day a week for 30 minutes or more.
What if I have back pain or other pre-existing injuries?
We recommend that you tell your instructor of any pre-existing conditions so that she may address specific problems appropriately, whether it be to seek consultation from one of our physical therapists prior to beginning or to develop your program to focus on pain free restoration of strength and flexibility.
What is the appropriate age range for Pilates Personal Training?
Pilates is safe for all ages and fitness levels. Your instructor will individually tailor your program to your specific needs and goals.
What do I wear?
Please wear comfortable workout attire that allows you to move around. We prefer that the clients don't wear anything too loose so that the instructor will be able to see what you are doing and correct movements as needed.
- Men should wear either sweats or bike shorts under their shorts.
