Pilates + strength training belong in the same conversation!
If you’re lifting, Pilates can help you get even more out of the work you’re already doing in the gym. Three of our biggest reasons:
Strength through your full range of motion. Pilates trains control and strength throughout the range available at your joints - not just the portion you’re loading during a specific lift.
Core strength that transfers. Core work isn’t just abs. Pilates teaches you how to create stability, manage load, and maintain control while your arms and legs are moving - which matters when the weight gets heavier.
Strength from the ground up. Feet, ankles, hips, shoulders, spine…the smaller stabilizing muscles matter, too. Building strength and control throughout the entire system gives you a stronger foundation for your bigger lifts.
Throughout September, we’re doing a deeper dive into each of these reasons and breaking down exactly how Pilates can complement your strength training.
You don’t have to choose Pilates or lifting. There’s a pretty strong case for doing both!

Contemporary Pilates, with respect for where it all started. 🤍
At BK Pilates, we use contemporary reformers and a contemporary approach to movement - but look closely and you’ll always see pieces of Joseph Pilates’ original method woven throughout class. We never want to water down the method for the sake of fitness. It really is a powerful method that we honor and adore.
This one? A variation of Coordination, an original Reformer exercise. 👀
The choreography might evolve. The equipment might look different. But the foundations: control, precision, breath, strength + connection…are still there.
Did you guess it?
A truly magical evening 🌙 thank you to everyone who joined us for this perfect collaboration! We so grateful for moving and meditating together ✨
