UNDERSTANDING YOUR PILATES REFORMER SPRINGS 🤍
——
Did you know that the different coloured springs on our Allegro 2 Reformers represent different levels of resistance?

Let’s break it down!
🟡 YELLOW - VERY LIGHT (EASY) Gentle resistance, often used for lighter movements, arm work and exercises requiring less spring support.

🔵 BLUE - LIGHT (EASY–MEDIUM) Light resistance, ideal for controlled movements, stability work and exercises where less spring tension is needed.

🔴 RED - MEDIUM Moderate resistance, commonly used for leg work, footwork and general reformer exercises.

🟢 GREEN - HEAVY (HARD) Higher resistance, generally used when more spring tension is required. This is part of the wider Balanced Body spring colour system, although it is not included in the standard Allegro 2 spring set.

What about extra hard? Using multiple springs together can increase the overall resistance, depending on the combination.

BUT HERE’S SOMETHING IMPORTANT!
A heavier spring doesn’t always mean a harder exercise!

For example:
* More spring resistance can provide greater support during certain exercises.
* Less spring resistance can make an exercise more challenging because your body has to work harder to stabilise and control the movement.

The springs are not a direct measurement of how many kilograms you are lifting.

Their resistance changes as they stretch, so there isn’t one fixed kilogram value for each colour.

The right spring selection depends on the exercise, your strength, stability, control and experience.

Remember: Pilates isn’t about using the heaviest spring or doing the most. It’s about control, precision, alignment and quality of movement.

It’s Movember and it’s a good time to have a conversation about men’s mental health.💙
⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱

We talk a lot about looking after our bodies, but how often do we talk about the role movement and exercise can play in looking after our minds?

There’s actually a lot of science behind it. Exercise helps regulate stress, improves sleep, supports mood and encourages the release of endorphins. Strength training can also help build confidence and give you a sense of achievement, especially when life feels a little overwhelming.

And I think this is something worth talking about, particularly for men.

Getting started can feel daunting. Maybe you’ve never stepped foot in a gym before. Maybe you’ve taken a few years off training, or perhaps you’re curious about Pilates but have no idea where to begin.💪🏽

That’s okay. You don’t need to know everything before you begin.
Start with a walk. Try a strength session. Come and give Pilates a go. Find something that gets you moving and that you actually enjoy.

Regular exercise isn’t a replacement for mental health support and we shouldn’t underestimate the seriousness of depression or su***de. But it can be one valuable part of looking after your mental health.💪🏽

And perhaps this November we can encourage more men to make time for their physical health, check in with their mates and just as importantly, feel comfortable speaking up when things aren’t okay. 💙

If you’ve been thinking about starting, consider this your little nudge.

A beautiful studio is lovely, but have you ever stopped to look at the qualifications of the person teaching you?👀🙌🏽
⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱

There is a lot to consider when choosing where to do Pilates. It's easy to be drawn to gorgeous interiors and insta-perfect spaces (and there's nothing wrong with that). But when you're investing in your body, the person guiding you through each movement deserves just as much attention.💪🏽

Fran Bailey has invested years in studying movement, biomechanics, rehabilitation and the way the body works. Here's a little more about the training behind her practice.

▫️STOTT PILATES
Fran is certified in STOTT PILATES®, one of the world's leading Pilates education systems. It is a contemporary, science-based approach to Pilates, incorporating modern exercise principles and an understanding of biomechanics. It places emphasis on working with the body's natural movement and building strength through correct technique.

▫️BASI PILATES
Her training with BASI Pilates (another internationally recognised Pilates education system) includes advanced Reformer training and injury rehabilitation on the Reformer. This is particularly important when working with clients who need a considered approach to movement, strength and recovery.

▫️THE McGILL METHOD
In 2020, Fran travelled to Sydney, Australia, to attend Professor Stuart McGill's Backfit workshop. Professor McGill has dedicated more than 30 years to researching spinal biomechanics, the causes of lower back pain and the mechanics of back injury rehabilitation. His work brings a much deeper understanding of spinal health and how to approach movement when back pain is involved.

▫️LYNOTHERAPY
Fran is also trained in Lynotherapy, which focuses on identifying faulty movement patterns that may contribute to pain. By understanding how the body moves and identifying the fascia involved, the treatment aims to address underlying contributors to discomfort rather than simply focusing on where the pain is felt.

▫️Alongside these specialised qualifications, Fran also holds:
• American Council on Exercise (ACE) Certified Personal Trainer
• NeuroKinetic Therapy certification
• RockTape FMT Blades certification

Pilates is having its moment and it's wonderful to see so many people discovering its benefits. But choosing where to practise deserves a little more thought than choosing the prettiest room.🤍

Look at the person teaching you. Look at their education, their understanding of the body and their ability to work with you as an individual.

A good Pilates practice should have sound knowledge behind every movement. That's where the real value lies. Come out Fran to the test… or better yet, let her push your body to its limits, without causing you injury.

Things you only understand after starting Pilates…
⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱

You go into your first class thinking it looks pretty easy.

The movements are slow, everything looks controlled, and you assume you’ll be absolutely fine. Then five minutes in, your legs are shaking, Fran asks you to breathe, engage your core and keep moving, and suddenly you’re questioning every decision that led you there. 😂

Nobody really prepares you for how challenging it all can be.

You learn very quickly that you don’t need to be jumping around or lifting heavy weights to feel your muscles working.

Sometimes it’s the tiniest movement, holding a position for a few extra seconds, or trying to keep everything controlled that gets you the most.

And the breathing? Why is coordinating your breath with a movement suddenly the hardest thing you’ve ever done? 😆 You’re trying to remember which way to breathe, keep your shoulders relaxed, engage your core and listen to Fran all at once. It takes a while before it starts to feel natural.

Then there are the shakes. You look around to see if anyone else is struggling, only to realise that everyone is fighting their own battle. 😂

But that’s probably one of the best things about what we do. You start noticing the little things. Your control improves, movements that once felt impossible become more familiar and you begin to understand just how much goes into doing an exercise properly. 🤍 You also learn that every class can feel different.

Some days you feel strong, and other days a basic exercise reminds you that there’s still plenty to work on.💪🏽

Five hours. FIVE. HOURS. 😳
——
DonnaJean Wilde, 61-year-old grandmother of 12, has apparently decided that a plank is a perfectly reasonable way to spend an afternoon.

And you’ll never guess what’s part of her training. Yep - Pilates! We love that!

Now, before anyone thinks they need to start working towards a five-hour plank, let’s bring this back to real life.😉

A strong core helps you get up off the floor, carry your groceries, bend down to pick something up and feel more stable on your feet. It helps support your back and makes everyday movement that little bit easier.

We’re not training you to break world records ( unless you want to 😉). We’re working on the strength and control you can actually use outside the studio.

And if you can hold a plank for a minute? Brilliant. If you can’t yet? Also fine. There’s a lot more to what we do around here than planking.

Although I have to say, DonnaJean has given us all a little something to think about next time we complain about 30 seconds. 😂

How long can you plank for?

We spend so much time wishing our bodies looked different that we forget to appreciate what they allow us to do.

We turn movement into punishment. We exercise to earn our food, compensate for what we’ve eaten, or fix the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught not to love.

But let that sink in for a moment…
Your body is not a punishment to overcome. It is a gift to care for.💙

The ability to stretch, to strengthen, to balance, to breathe deeply and to move with control is not something we should take lightly.

What we do at PP, not only helps create a stronger body but also helps you build a body that can support you through the life you want to live.

So stop waiting until you have your dream body to appreciate the one you have now.

Stop making movement something you owe yourself as punishment.

Show up because your body deserves care. Challenge yourself because you value your strength. Move with gratitude for what your body can do today.

You don’t have to hate your body into becoming stronger. You can love it enough to look after it.

Don’t take your ability to move for granted. Make the most of it. 🤍
Join a class and if you’re already in one, join one more!

Happy Friday 🤍

85 years young and side-planking like a pro! 💪🏼🔥
⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱⸱
Meet legendary Steve, proving that strength has no age limit!

At 85, Steve shows up, puts in the work and reminds us that Pilates is about meeting your body where it’s at and celebrating what it can do. 💙

With his trusty POC by his side, Steve continues to show us that movement, determination and a little bit of core strength can go a long way! 😉

Steve, you’re setting the bar pretty high… although we suspect you’d rather hold a side plank than take a bow! 😂👏🏼

What a champ!
