Want to improve muscle tone and wondering, is Pilates once a week enough? Top coaches share their verdict

Is Pilates once a week enough? A woman doing Pilates.

It comes as no surprise to hear that Pilates is set to continue doing the rounds on the wellness stage in 2024. But is Pilates once a week enough? Or is it worth working this low-impact form of fitness into your workout routine more often? 

The latest stats, released by Pure Gym, show that Pilates - the much-loved mind-body exercise that builds strength, balance and flexibility - claims three of the top 20 fitness trends for 2024, with the likes of wall Pilates, mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates rising in stardom (and searches). And if you ask us, it makes sense. The benefits of Pilates know no bounds. Along with relieving stress, boosting your mood and conditioning your whole body, Pilates for back pain is a powerful tool and it promises to improve your posture, too. Better yet, you don’t even need to sweat it out for hours upon end to see results.
