The buzz: Pilates is widely known to alleviate aches and pains but the Pilates Fitness Studio is among the first in Singapore to customize specific fitness programs.
The vibe: This clean, no-frills space provides little distraction from your workout— always a good thing. There are no gimmicks here—just rows of mats and Reformers set against a mirrored backdrop. It’s all a Pilates studio should be.
The goods: If your main concern is weight loss, you’ll be doing more high intensity reps in each session, focusing on core strengthening and improving your posture. Representative Candice Chin claims you’ll be able to see marked changes especially around the belly, butt and thighs after the first few sessions. There are also programs for golfers and runners, focusing on enhancing the body’s mechanics to increase strength and flexibility, and reduce the risk of common sports-related injuries. And then there’s the Pilates Jumpboard class, an advanced workout session for hardcore Energizer bunnies. A 55-minute Pilates Junkie class (group classes on the Reformer) costs only $13.50—among the cheapest in town.
Why you’ll be back: You don’t want to pay for a one-on-one but you don’t want to do the reps everyone else is doing either. Here, you can work out according to an individual program while enjoying the high level of motivation a group fitness session offers. It’s a win-win situation.
