Ens Pilates believes in the effectiveness of reformer Pilates in burning fat and improving overall body shape. By toning all the muscles, especially the arms, legs, and midsection, reformer Pilates helps create a leaner, more sculpted, and stronger physique. It also increases the resting metabolic rate, resulting in more calories and fat being burned throughout the day.
In addition to its physical benefits, reformer Pilates is good for you in terms of joint and muscle health. Working through the full range of motion, the Pilates reformer requires all muscle groups to engage, improving flexibility and reducing stress and strain on the joints and muscles. The increased efficiency of muscle contraction also makes workouts more effective, allowing everyday movements to be performed with less stress or fatigue.
Regardless of your fitness level or experience, Ens Pilates caters to all with its classes and equipment that can be modified to suit different needs. Reformer Pilates builds strength in the core muscles, improving posture, flexibility, and balance. It can be tailored to provide gentle strength training, a stability programme, or a challenging workout for the more athletic client.
When it comes to nutrition, Ens Pilates recommends light and healthy options before a class. Opt for a small bowl of cereal, peanut butter or avocado on toast, or a nutrient-packed smoothie for breakfast. For lunch or dinner, a healthy sandwich, a small bowl of soup, or a salad would be ideal.
As for attire, Ens Pilates encourages clients to wear anything they are comfortable in and allows for ease of movement. Bare feet are okay, but a pair of grip footsies or ankle socks is ideal. It's best to avoid clothing with zips or knots/ties down the back to ensure comfort and avoid any potential damage to the equipment.
The timeline for seeing and feeling a difference varies from client to client. It depends on factors such as existing injuries, physical activity outside the Pilates class, and the number of classes attended per week. On average, most clients see significant results within 10–12 sessions, feeling fitter and stronger. As Joseph Pilates said, “In 10 sessions, you feel better, 20 sessions you look better, 30 sessions you have a completely new body.
” Consistency and practise are key to achieving the desired changes.
At Ens Pilates, the aim is to provide improved posture, core strength, flexibility, and overall body conditioning through the practise of reformer Pilates. With its tailored classes, experienced instructors, and dedication to client satisfaction, Ens Pilates is committed to helping individuals achieve their fitness goals and lead healthier lives.
