What Is Pilates?
Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that focuses on strengthening your core, improving posture, increasing flexibility, and is a full body workout.
Through precise, controlled movements and mindful breathing, Pilates teaches you how to move with awareness — building strength from the inside out.
At Pilates Dynamics, we offer both Mat Pilates (using your body weight and small props) and Reformer Pilates (using equipment with resistance to deepen your workout).

The Benefits of Pilates for Beginners
If you’re just getting started, Pilates is one of the safest and most effective ways to build a strong foundation for your fitness journey. Here’s what you can expect:
• Improved core strength – Strengthen the muscles that support your spine and posture, including upper and lower body.
• Better flexibility and mobility – Move more freely and reduce stiffness.
• Improved posture – Say goodbye to slouching and back pain from sitting all day.
• Gentle on joints – Perfect for beginners, seniors, or anyone recovering from an injury.
• Reduced stress – Focused breathing and mindful movement help calm the mind.
Pilates isn’t just a workout — it’s a way to reconnect with your body and build lasting strength.

What to Bring to Your First Pilates Class
You don’t need fancy gear to start Pilates — just:
• Comfortable, fitted clothing that allows you to move freely
• Grip socks (optional, but helpful for reformer classes)
• A water bottle & small towel
• A positive attitude!

How Often Should Beginners Do Pilates?
For beginners, we recommend 2 to 3 classes per week.
Consistency is key — within a few weeks, you’ll notice stronger muscles, improved balance, more muscle tone and more energy in your daily life.
Once your body strength has improved we will move you to either an intermediate or athletic Pilates class.
