For the best results, we recommend 2–3 reformer Pilates sessions per week. This frequency helps you feel stronger, improve posture, and build lasting movement patterns.

With consistent practice, many people notice changes like better posture, core strength, and muscle tone within 4-8 weeks.

Deeper transformations in strength, flexibility, and alignment are often seen after 12+ weeks.

Even if you can only attend once a week, you’ll still experience the benefits. Consistency matters more than intensity!
