What Exactly Is Pilates?

Pilates represents an exercise regimen designed to elongate and fortify body muscles, promoting both mobility and flexibility concurrently. It is known to reestablish equilibrium in the body, particularly in the spinal region, through motion. This workout is centered around rectifying inherent bodily disparities that progressively lead to rigidity and discomfort, feelings we are all too acquainted with. By elongating and fortifying muscles, inducing motion in the spinal region, and centering on small stabilizing muscles, this form of exercise enhances posture, routine movement patterns and fundamentally, heightens bodily consciousness.

Every class will incorporate the Core Principles of Pilates which are:

What is a Reformer?

We are thrilled at FreedomCore to introduce reformer workout sessions! So, what does this entail? Essentially, the reformer is an excellent fitness tool for everyone, including those who have injuries or physical limitations. The equipment uses spring resistance and can accommodate a range of exercises, guaranteeing a full-body workout in each session. This low-impact exercise regimen is advantageous for all. With the reformer, you can activate your entire body by assuming different positions such as lying flat, lying on one side (which allows you to work one side at a time for better body balance), sitting comfortably, and standing. Don't be misled by the seemingly relaxed positions like lying down or sitting; Pilates is designed to challenge both your mind and body (in a positive way), when performed correctly.

What are the Benefits of Pilates?

Advantages encompass: Enhancing body alignment, self-awareness, equilibrium and synchronicity. It rectifies motion sequences which prove to be instrumental in daily activities such as lifting kids or grandkids, shifting bulky items from our vehicle, hoisting heavy objects from the floor, and even while stationed at your work site or inside a vehicle. It amplifies and stretches muscles. It extends the spinal cord (some individuals have reported an increase in height by a few inches, however, this is NOT a guaranteed outcome). Assists in managing past injuries, operations or illnesses. Tutors are proficient in providing alternative methods for any kind of injury to ensure universal participation.

History of Joseph Pilates

Yes, if you did not know Pilates is actually the last name of the man who invented the entire movement. His name is Joseph Pilates. He was born in 1883 in Germany. As a child he suffered from asthma (narrowing of airway), rickets (softening of the bones), and rheumatic fever (disease causing painful joints). He was determined not to let these illnesses get the best of him so he became a gymnast, diver, and skier. During World War I, he worked with injured soldiers including those who could not walk. He helped rehabilitate them by attaching springs to the beds to help create movement and strength even though they could not walk. This is what the machines we use in Pilates today are based off. In the 1920s, Joseph and his wife Clara moved to New York where they opened a “body-conditioning gym” that focused on rehabilitative work for gymnasts and dancers. This became his life work. In 1967 Joseph Pilates passed away. His entire life he called his work “Contrology” meaning the complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. In his passing, Contrology was renamed Pilates in his memory.
