.clubpilates is coming to town. But is it worth the hype?
Real talk: I’ve always been a little bit scared of Pilates. Even though I’m a fitness instructor who’s taught everything from indoor cycling to intervals, Pilates—which focuses on exercises for strength, flexibility and posture—has always seemed to have its own insider language to me. Not to mention the equipment is more than a little intimidating. But when Club Pilates, a boutique-studio franchise from the San Diego area, launched in Canada in 2018, I’ll admit I was curious to try it out.
And, of course, you can count on using the Reformer—that quintessential Pilates contraption resembling a low massage table that’s equipped with a sliding springboard, cable straps and shoulder rests. This is the piece that intimidates me most, BTW. At Club Pilates, the Reformers use spring tension as a way to dial the intensity up or down while keeping all the moves low impact and kind on joints.
I’m used to doing weighted squats and lunges at the gym, but targeting the lower body at Club Pilates felt challenging in a new way. The deliberate movements, like kneeling lunges on the Reformer and squats done lying down, allowed me to really zero in on my leg and butt muscles without feeling strained. I appreciated how I had the space to concentrate on the activity—I guess that’s why Pilates is pegged as mind-body exercise.
