Pilates has long been celebrated for its ability to build strength, flexibility, and control. But while the principles remain the same, not all Pilates is created equal. At PILAT3S, we’ve taken inspiration from the foundations of traditional Pilates and reimagined it for today. Blending classic principles with modern techniques, we deliver a dynamic, accessible workout designed to engage every body and every level.
Traditional Pilates: The Foundation
Let’s start with the basics. Traditional Pilates, developed by Joseph Pilates, focuses on controlled, low-impact movements designed to improve posture, alignment, and muscle balance. Its emphasis on precision and breathwork, makes it a powerful practice for rehabilitation, core strength, and mind-body connection. Apart from the commonly known Reformer, there are so many pieces of Pilates apparatus like the Tower and Wunda Chairs – which are also becoming increasingly popular. Because of the use of this equipment, traditional Pilates are generally slower paced, smaller groups, or 1-2-1s only.
Key Differences: Approach, Intensity, and Results
The differences between the two practices are not only in the group size, but in the pace and how you move. Traditional Pilates is slower, focusing on controlled movement and precise sequencing of exercises. On the other hand, modern Pilates incorporates contemporary movements and rhythm, while occasionally adding additional equipment like dumbbells. PILAT3S takes modern practice to the next-level, it is energised and rhythm-driven, challenging endurance while keeping you engaged and motivated. You’ll feel the muscle tone and functional flexibility from the very first class.
