1. Develop muscle tone and mobility
Unlike many other forms of exercise, Pilates does not focus on just one area. It’s not just muscle tone or just mobility, but a combination of both – with a dash of peace of mind thrown in for good measure!
2. No competition, just personal development
If you’re tired of comparing yourself to others at the gym or in classes, Pilates is a breath of fresh air.
This sport focuses on your own body and your own development. It doesn’t matter what you look like or how “well” you perform the movements.
The most important thing is that you feel better after your workout.
3. Gentle but effective
If you’ve found that other sports are too hard or you haven’t got the results you want, Pilates is made for you. It’s gentle on the body, but don’t let that fool you – sweat will break out and muscles will work!
4. Stress relief
Exercising hard can increase your body’s stress levels, especially if you already have a lot of stress in your life. Stress builds up extra fat in your body and prevents it from burning.
Pilates, on the other hand, helps reduce stress by focusing on breathing and movement, making it an excellent choice for a busy lifestyle.
5. Flexibility in schedules
Pilates classes are varied, and you can also do Pilates at home. So it’s a great option if you have irregular working hours or just a busy life.

If you’ve tried many different sports and felt that nothing is right for you, give pilates a try. It is a versatile, gentle and effective sport that is suitable for everyone. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a new love of exercise! 💪
