Is there anything more popular than Pilates right now? The celeb-favourite workout, beloved by everyone from Hailey Bieber to Harry Styles, has fast become the class of choice for 2024. From Reformer to classical, physio-led and more, there’s a Pilates class to suit everybody – and with a seriously impressive array of health benefits, it’s no wonder. But, question: does at home Pilates work as effectively as, say, in-studio classes to boost muscle tone and strength?
Good question. As appealing as rocking up to a swanky studio complete with state-of-the-art equipment is, many coaches maintain that you really don’t need to spend hundreds (or more) on an IRL class to reap the benefits of Pilates. Post-pandemic, it’s never been simpler or cheaper to access high-quality workouts from the comfort of our own homes, with Pilates workouts being one of the more accessible sweat sessions to try out from the comfort of your living room. All you really need is some form of mat and you’re good to go.
