Well I'm hoping it's not because of me!!!!

Obviously it's not the class for everyone and I understand that, but it's most likely because they ache a bit the day after, or found some of the exercises challenging because they're using muscles they have forgotten about or didn't even know existed, or they feel no different the day after when they assumed (hoped) that just one class would suddenly cure all their niggles, aches and pains and maybe they feel a bit despondent because of one or all of those things.

Remember, however - ONE class will not and cannot magically "change" things for you, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. It takes time - sometimes many weeks of consistent attendance - for someone to notice any changes within themselves, but rest assured, changes ARE happening deep within your muscles.

One day you will notice that your core is getting stronger, your balance is improving, your flexibility is better, you are stronger and more stable and yes, even some of your aches and pains have gone away and you are moving much more freely.

You won't notice these changes all at the same time, but you'll find that one day you'll be doing something that you couldn't do before you started Fitness PILATES and you'll be amazed at the progress you have actually made and believe me, each and every time you come to a Fitness PILATES class progress is very definitely being made and that is what I notice mostly as an instructor.

Do you wonder if feeling better in your body after starting classes will continue? It absolutely will! Every time you practice Pilates you will be repeating the process of strengthening your underdeveloped muscles, stretching your tight muscles and bringing your body closer and closer to your ideal, balanced alignment and posture! 

Like anything though, the more you practice Pilates the more you may take for granted how much it is helping you and not be so aware of it after each session.  Many of our members comment that they forget how much their Pilates practice helps them feel better in their body until something happens in their life that they end up taking a few weeks off. They  comment that they can just feel a difference in their body, even after just a week or two. Luckily, as soon as they get back to their movement time the “feel better” results come right back!

I love to see how everyone is improving each week and I love to see when something "clicks" (hopefully not a knee, hip or shoulder!!!!!) in someone's mind and body as they suddenly "get" the point of the exercises I'm teaching!

Consistency is key and as Joseph Pilates himself said “In 10 sessions you will feel a difference, in 20 sessions you will see a difference, in 30 sessions you will have a whole new body.” and I firmly believe this to be true.
