Questions
How often should I practice Pilates?
We recommend 2-3 hours a week for optimal results. One session a week will provide
changes in the body, but it will take longer to see results. We recommend 2 private
sessions and 1 group class or 2 group classes and 1 private session.
How soon will I notice results?
That depends. Each person has different needs that will determine how the body
responds. However, most clients see results after 10 sessions.
If I practice Yoga will Pilates still be beneficial?
Yes, they are a great compliment to each other. While both focus on strength,
flexibility and breathing, Pilates takes it a step further by increasing core
abdominal strength, which can help improve your Yoga practice.
Do I need cardio activities if I take Pilates?
Yes, Pilates is a non-impact, strengthening workout that only becomes
cardiovascular at the advanced levels.
If I’m injured, can I still do the work?
Absolutely, the training is designed to meet the individual. Each program
is customized to the client's specific needs.
If I have Parkinson's Disease (P.D.) can Pilates help?
Yes. One of the fundamental principles of Pilates is spinal alignment which
aids in over-all Postural correction. Also, a consistent Pilates program results
in balanced muscle development, and improved coordination and flexibility.
"My doctor reminded me that 'still water freezes faster than running water'
and advised that I keep active and as mobile as possible. I was fortunate to
find Body Fundamentals and its professional staff to work with me. They have
designed a personalized program of exercise (Pilates) and hot stone body massage...
I believe these activities are an important part of my overall program. It isn't
surprising when you compare my disease symptoms with the Pilates Principles -
an almost perfect overlay."
