General Fitness & Pilates


How fit do I need to be to practise Pilates?  Do I need to do other activities aside from Pilates?  Find out how general fitness relates to you when praticing Pilates...

How fit do I need to be?


The beauty of the Pilates method is that it lends itself to all levels of physical fitness and all ages. There is no need to be really fit and flexible to enjoy the sessions as this is what you will gain by regularly practising Pilates. I will guide you through the different exercises and encourage you to ask questions if you are unsure about anything. You are welcome to work at your own level and to suit your own mood.

Will I need to do other types of exercise as well?


Yes, the general guideline is that you should keep active most days of the week. Pilates is not a cardiovascular workout, which challenges your heart and lung capacity. To be truly fit, you need cardiovascular fitness, as well as strength, endurance and flexibility. Cardiovascular fitness also keeps your heart strong, helping you to work at a higher intensity.
