Reaching Your Goals with Varied Frequency in Your Pilates Practice
As we mentioned, the question of the ideal frequency when it comes to Pilates classes has more than one answer. The frequency of your workouts should be based on your skill level and physique, with beginners and experts requiring and adhering to different recovery needs and activity requirements.
Beginner Pilates Students
For beginners, 1-3 Pilates classes each week are a great start to a new Pilates practice. New Pilates students may notice changes and improvements in strength, balance, and pain reduction with just one class each week. Starting with one, two, or three classes weekly allows for recovery and rest between classes.
Practices that involve equipment such as the Reformer or Cadillac can deepen the beginner’s practice and achieve results even faster than mat Pilates but may require more recovery time for muscles. Of course, as with any exercise, all Pilates students must learn to listen to their bodies and base the frequency of classes on how they feel.
Experienced Pilates Students
Students with an established practice and more experience with Pilates can increase workouts to 4-5 per week. Recovery time lessens as the body gets accustomed to this type of workout, and students will notice results faster as they can increase the frequency and intensity of their Pilates workouts.
Most students begin to see results between one and three months from the start of their practice, this also depends on the frequency of workouts, workout intensity, and pairing it with other forms of exercise. The style of Pilates that each student chooses will also determine the results achieved and how soon after the initial class they can expect to see results. Reformer and Cadillac classes tend to create results faster than mat Pilates classes due to the increased resistance and difficulty.
