FAQs

What happens in the first session?
Consider this session as a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll have a friendly chat about your health background, fitness journey, and your individual aspirations. Following that, I'll assess your body's movements to understand how you're currently moving. Together, we'll engage in a session using the equipment, allowing you to experience my teaching approach first hand. Should you decide to move forward, you're welcome to schedule your subsequent sessions. With insights gathered from our initial meeting, I'll craft a tailored program designed just for you. Remember, if you choose not to continue after the first session, there's absolutely no obligation. Your comfort and choice are paramount.

Does Pilates make you lose weight?
Pilates is strength-based training. It is made up of exercises that makes you work on the full body, and it helps you increase your muscle mass. When you increase your muscle mass, you start burning more calories. So yes, weight loss is a positive by-product of doing Pilates. There are many other health benefits of doing Pilates, like increasing flexibility, balance and coordination, improving posture and your mood.

How many sessions do I need?
Well, it depends on many factors – your overall fitness level, whether you had injury or ongoing pain, whether you have exercised regularly in your life, your body alignment and awareness. In the beginning, especially if you haven’t exercised for a long time, recovering from an injury or want to see results quickly, two or three times a week is recommended. Otherwise, if you are fit and want to be stronger and healthier, one session a week should be enough. The most important thing here is consistency. If you attend your sessions, you will absolutely see the results. You can see here what my clients say about seeing the results of doing regular Pilates.
