In the past, Pilates was only offered in selected cities and exclusive studios. The equipment was too big, too bulky and simply too expensive for many people.

With the advent of online classes and courses, this has changed fundamentally. Most people start at home with Pilates mat workouts that guide you through beneficial full-body exercises in video form. Over time, many decide to expand their training - for example with a reformer, a Pilates chair or a barrel for home use. Each of these training devices opens up new exercise options and ensures that Pilates training at home remains varied, motivating and effective.

However, before starting a Pilates program at home, experts strongly recommend attending a few classes at a Pilates studio first. This allows you to get to know the basic movements and principles of the method. Effective Pilates training is based on precise movements and conscious breathing, both of which are best explained and demonstrated by certified Pilates instructors.
