No Lingering Doubts
What is PILAT3S?
PILAT3S combines the foundations of traditional Pilates with dynamic movements and cutting-edge in-studio technology. Our approach enhances both the enjoyment and the benefits, making Pilates accessible and enjoyable to everyone, regardless of experience.
What is Dynamic Reformer Pilates?
A full-body workout inspired by traditional Pilates that targets the core muscles while enhancing strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance. The integration of dynamic movements create a fluid class flow offering varied exercises and increased intensity, with the focus being on time under tension, making exercises more challenging than that in classical Pilates.
I have never done Reformer Pilates, can I start with PILAT3S?
Absolutely! Our classes are designed for all fitness levels, including beginners. Our instructors will guide you through the fundamentals, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident as you develop your strength and technique.
If you’re unsure about starting with a full 50-minute session, try our Taster class – which introduces you to the core principles, equipment, and methodology that make up the PILAT3S experience.
We recommend that first-timers attend 1-2 Align classes before progressing to Tone or Power.
What's the difference between Align, Tone, and Power?
At PILAT3S, we offer a class to suit every level and goal:
Align: Perfect for beginners or anyone feeling a bit tight, Align is a slower-paced class focused on elongation, recovery, and tension release. It’s the Pilates embrace your body didn’t know it needed.
Tone: Looking for definition? Tone is all about that targeted burn. Fewer exercises, quick transitions and more reps – feel full-body burn with every pulse. Short on time? Our Xpress version gives you a quick, 30-minute workout that maximizes results whilst keeping to your schedule.
Power: Ready to level-up? Power adds light weights and heavier springs to amplify compound movements – targetting multiple muscle groups at once. Get ready for a full-body workout that strengthens and tones.
Each class is designed to complement various fitness routines and goals, so whether you’re recovering, sculpting, or lifting, there’s a class for you. Visit our studios and experience it firsthand!
Are Pilates grip socks mandatory?
While Pilates grip socks are not mandatory, we highly recommend them, especially for those new to Reformer Pilates. They provide extra traction and stability during movements.
When should I arrive for my class?
We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before your class to settle in, meet your instructor and get ready for your session. This ensures a smooth start and allows time for any questions or setup.
What should I wear / bring to the class?
Wear comfortable, form-fitting sportswear that allows you to move freely. Avoid loose clothing, as it may interfere with the equipment. Bring a water bottle and your Pilates grip socks. Don’t worry if you forget your socks,— we have them available for purchase at the studio.
