You’ve thought about signing up before for Pilates. Maybe you even pulled up the class page, ready to book. But that fear crept in, I’ll be the beginner. I won’t belong. I’ll slow everyone else down.

What you actually want is a class where everyone’s there for the exact same reason: to start Pilates. Not to feel behind, to feel like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

That’s why we have the Find Your Core: 4-week Pilates Journey.

It’s built for exactly this, anyone curious about Pilates but hesitant to jump straight into a class.

Over the series you’ll gain awareness with the techniques, alignment, and set-up that makes everything click in Pilates, so you don’t feel lost.

By the end, you’ll feel confident on the equipment, ready to take the next step into any of our group classes without a second thought.

Don’t just take it from us. Here’s what Millicent, one of our clients from January’s series, told us:
“DO IT! While I felt like I needed that beginners workshop to get going, upon reflection I know I could have hopped into any class and felt welcome! You will not be ostracized or judged, but instead welcomed eagerly by your classmates and instructor!”

Stop keeping the Pilates tab open, telling yourself “someday.” Book your spot in Find Your Core today! Spots are limited.

The series starts Mondays at 5:30pm, October 12th-November 2nd. 4 weeks, locked in at Core & Restore Pilates.

Comment, “FIND” and we will get you locked in on your Pilates journey or grab the link in the bio.

Have you ever heard it’s “just Pilates”?

But what people forget is the intention behind the Pilates for everyone is personal.

Everyone has a personal reason for starting and continuing with Pilates.

And we care deeply about what that is to each person in the studio at Core & Restore Pilates.

What is your reason for the workout?

Clients tell us the same thing over and over: joining a class is what finally keeps them consistent.

Because they don’t have to think about a plan. It’s already taken care of. And that is what they really want one less decision to make.

Most people want results. But when they have to figure out the workout themselves; what to do, how much, how often; they end up skipping altogether.

We hear it a lot, a gym membership that barely got used, month after month, because there was always one more decision standing between them and actually going.

What they actually needed a plan already made, someone to hold them accountable, so showing up becomes automatic instead of optional.

A class that takes all the guesswork out. The instructor already has the plan; exercises, reps, resistance, modifications. All they have to do is show up and lock in a time.

That’s when people finally start showing up consistently because there’s no workout to plan, no decision to make. Just show up. And that’s when they start seeing real results.

If this sounds familiar, it might be time to find a group that helps you stay accountable.

Core & Restore Pilates has just the thing, a 3 pack of group classes to take all the guesswork out for you.

Just comment, “CLASS” and we’ll send the info your way.

The environment can make-or-break the experience for you.

So often clients share they looked at our google reviews to find out what people think of our studio.

So we asked several of our clients what they value most at Core & Restore Pilates and this is what they shared with us.

If you also value these things in a Pilates studio, Core & Restore Pilates is the right fit for you.

A client shared having the best intentions to book her Pilates class, but waiting to see how her day went and then often not scheduling it based on how she felt.

But, she wants to show up consistently at Pilates, not keep putting it off. So she can finally get the results she wants.

She would wait to book her classes because she wanted to see how the day went, then often talk herself out of signing up because it had been a long day.

Anyone else know the feeling? đŸ™‹â€â™€ïž

I shared how other clients struggle with this too, but will book their classes ahead of time, so it’s locked in.

The decision already made for the week. No waiting to decide.

Then she can keep the appointment to herself, instead of waiting to book based on how she feels, so it becomes a habit.

Because she is always thankful when she finishes class and feels better, even if it was a hard day. Some movement, time to unplug, and an hour to reset.

Keeping the Pilates date to yourself can be a hurdle. But you don’t have to do it alone. Often we need a system in place.

We can help you stay accountable to yourself at Core & Restore Pilates, so you can build the habit of consistency to see the real results you’ve always wanted.

Commit to 3 classes for yourself our new client special, we will help you start the habit. Link in bio.

The client who almost didn’t come to her Pilates session last week.

She walked in and shared she almost canceled the Pilates class because she tweaked her back after just reaching for a towel.

What she really wanted to make sure her back doesn’t get worse because she’s had issues in the past. She wants to feel safe moving.

She tried heat on her back from the car seat heaters and some gentle movement, but it still hurt some.

I shared with her we would modify things if needed, but I honestly thought she would feel better after moving in Pilates.

She was a bit cautious at first moving then eased into the class without needing the session modified.

At the end, she said, “you were right I feel so much better now and I’m glad I kept the appointment. My back is feeling better than when I came in.”

If your back has ever “gone out” over something small; reaching for a towel or bending down to pick something up off the floor; Pilates might be exactly what your back needs, not what it’s afraid of.

Hi, I’m Lauren co-owner of Core & Restore Pilates. As a physical therapist, I was frustrated with patients having somewhere else to go after therapy was done. As a new mom, I couldn’t find my strength on my own. Pilates and Maria changed both for me. Swipe through my story. This is why Core & Restore Pilates exists.

Follow along for more of our journey, tips, and what it really looks like inside our studio in South Huntsville.

Do you wake up feeling like the tin man needing some oil? Or at the end of working on your computer all day your back is tight?

What you really want is a way to relieve this tightness and stiffness yourself that isn’t a complicated routine.

You’ve tried some stretches and heat, but it can all be very time consuming.

What you really need is a whole body exercise to improve the motion in your body, so you move with more ease.

You need an articulated bridge, which mobilizes your spine relieving that back tension.

With each rep you feel the release in your back.

By the end, the stiffness is reducing and the tightness is lessening. You feel like you can move with more ease

The best part it was a simple exercise, no equipment required.

Bridges do these 3 things:
✅ improves mobility in spine = reduced stiffness
✅ improves core strength
✅ open the front of the hips after sitting

Follow along with the video to recreate bridges at home, start to finish. Then save for later when you need some simple movement.

Tell us what you think of articulated bridges? Clients love it to loosen everything up when they are in the studio!

You go to reach into the back seat of your car for something often your purse (or if your me handing a little a snack) and you worry you might pull something

What you really want is to comfortably reach into your back seat without fear of injury.

You’ve tried keeping what you might need on a drive in the front, but it never fails that you end having to reach for something in the back seat.

What you really need is a simple exercise you can do daily at home on your living room floor to help you reach into the back seat.

This is where spine twist comes in, which gains you the rotation your missing in your body.

So your upper body gains the rotation you need, so you no longer think you’ll pull something when your purse is in the backseat. The hardest part now is just finding it in the backseat.

Spine Twist does 3 things:
✅ mobilize your spine through rotation
✅ improves your posture
✅ improves flexibility

Follow along with the video of spine twist for the full break down at home, start to finish. Then save for later.

Tell us what you think of spine twist? And follow Core & Restore Pilates for more tips, we’ve got more coming!
