The Stories at CORE Fitness Studio San Jose Will Keep You Hooked on Pilates Reformer

What’s the most important thing about any exercise program? Sticking to it.

Five researchers from the University of Valencia (Spain) set out to learn what keeps people continuing with their Pilates Reformer routine. They studied a group of Pilates Reformer practitioners who had been doing Reformer for 6 or more years. They analyzed the data they collected using using thematic narrative analysis, (focusing on the whats of stories) and holistic narrative analysis (examining how narratives acted on adherence).

The results highlight the social relationships as characters, plots and scenarios of stories enhancing long-term participation in Pilates Reformer. And that — the social relationships — is where the magic happens. Stop by our group Reformer classes at CORE Fitness Studio San Jose and chances are you will hear the group chatting, laughing, and swapping stories.

We didn’t need a scientific study to tell us this. Roughly 65 percent of our clients have been coming for 10 years or more, one of them for 22 years, since we opened our doors.

CORE Fitness Studio San Jose Busts 3 Myths About Pilates Reformer

As popular as Pilates Reformer is, there’s still some mystique about this exercise discipline that’s more than 100 years old. Sometimes that mystique leads to misconceptions or myths about what Pilates Reformer is all about. We at CORE Fitness Studio San Jose would like to set the record straight about three of them.

Pilates is just for women

Joseph Pilates, the namesake of this fitness regimen initially developed the exercises for soldiers. In 1918, soldiers were exclusively men. Today, everyone from techies to professional athletes incorporate Pilates Reformer into their training routines to strengthen their cores to prevent injury. Yes, a significant portion of our clients at CORE Fitness Studio San Jose are women but we have our fair share of men too.

We Got You Going in Circles — Leg Circles — on the Pilates Reformer at CORE Fitness Studio San Jose

People often tell us their favorite part of our Pilates Reformer classes at CORE Fitness Studio is when they do ‘feet in the straps.’ You’ll do several exercises lying on your back or on your side with your feet in the straps, which are connected to ropes that are attached to the Reformer.

You’ll do lower-and-lift, scissor kicks, soccer kicks, and leg circles where you rotate your feet in one direction and then the other. You’ll do it with parallel feet, your feet turned inward, and your feet turned outward. In the process, you’ll work your thighs, your hamstrings, inner and outer thighs, and your hip flexors. That last one — hip flexors — is the reason why feet in the straps is so popular. It opens up your hips giving you flexibility that not only feels good but helps strengthen your lower body and improves your balance and posture.

Your Pilates Reformer Word of the Day from CORE Fitness San Jose: Proprioception

It’s a mouthful to be sure, so let’s just call it what it is — body awareness — and why it’s important. Think of it as your “sixth sense,” allowing you to sense your position and movement in space, essential for balance, coordination, and performing daily tasks without conscious thought. Improved proprioception is a key benefit of doing Pilates Reformer at CORE Fitness San Jose. Here are four reasons why it’s important:

• Body Awareness and Coordination Proprioception provides continuous feedback to the brain about the position and movement of our limbs and body parts, enabling us to move smoothly and efficiently.
• Balance and Stability It plays a vital role in maintaining balance, especially during dynamic activities like walking or sports, by allowing us to make quick adjustments to our posture and movements.
• Injury Prevention Strong proprioception can help prevent injuries by improving body awareness and control, allowing us to react quickly to unexpected situations and avoid falls or sprains.
• Everyday Activities Proprioception enables us to perform everyday tasks like walking, reaching for objects, or typing on a keyboard without needing to consciously think about our movements.
