The A Life

A popular influencer just said this about her routine: “I love strength training, but I’ve felt stiffer & less flexible lately, so I’m adding in Pilates..

I hear a version of this all the time.

I taught Pilates for over 10 years around Melbourne. If you love it and it fits your life, keep doing it.

But there are 6 myths I hear constantly about Pilates vs. strength training and they’re keeping people stuck choosing between “strong” and “flexible” when you can have both.

Swipe through 👉

A couple of things I really want people to get:

You don’t need Pilates to be flexible. You need a strength and mobility program that focuses on progressing both.

if you’ve got back pain, Pilates isn’t the safer option, avoiding hinge and squat patterns just delays the thing that’ll actually fix it.
And you don’t NEED a reformer or a fancy membership to get strong.

Your body, the ground, a couple of weights and a band do the same job for a one-off cost.
A machine teaches you to rely on it. Your own body teaches you to control it.

I know the training side because I lived it. In my 20s and 30s I did hours of Pilates and yoga every week, and had the most injuries of my life. Meniscus tear. Multiple ankle sprains. Achilles tendonitis. Chronic back and neck pain.

Now in my 40s, doing strength and mobility only, I’m the strongest, most supple, and most resilient I’ve ever been.
