New to Pilates BodyTree?

How to get started

Whether you’re completely new to Pilates or already deep into your practice, welcome. At Pilates BodyTree, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all classes. Instead, every session is tailored to your body, your history, and your goals. From day one.

You can enter Pilates BodyTree through any of these options:

Mobility Fitness Assessment (MFA)

A full-body 1-on-1 physical assessment to understand your mobility, core control, and strength. We recommend this as a starting point if you’re unsure what your body needs or are coming in with pain or past injuries. Think of it as a ‘movement check-up’ to help you train smarter, not harder.

Active Ageing Program

Our low-impact program focuses on fall prevention, functional movement, and brain-body coordination. It includes sensory stimulation and vibration training to support mobility and balance in older adults. Especially helpful if you’re managing age-related changes or simply want to move with confidence.

Frequently asked questions

I have an injury I’m recovering from, can I start Pilates Personal Training?

If you have an existing injury, we recommend you seek your doctor or physical therapist’s permission before you start Pilates.

Once you do, Pilates is one of the safest forms of body conditioning program you can do to recover from an injury.

Just reach out and let us know your injuries and areas of concern, our studio director will assist to match you with a suitable teacher.

How are Yoga and Pilates different?

Yoga is a holistic spiritual discipline with its roots in Eastern forms of meditation. Although they condition the body, the goal of the physical postures is to center, calm, and prepare your body for meditation.

Pilates on the other hand is physical conditioning first and foremost. Its creator, Joseph Pilates, developed a system of exercises designed to strengthen and stretch the body in a way that encourages coordination between the muscles that stabilize the body.

The resistance provided by the Pilates machines he developed like the Reformer, Wunda Chair and Cadillac are unique in their abilities to facilitate coordination and cooperation between our different muscles, creating synergy and making it a whole body workout.

Many clients find the that the core control and whole body integration they develop in Pilates class support them well in their daily activities and other forms of exercise and sports that participate in.

For those of you who also practice yoga, Pilates will provide you the stability you need to enjoy your yoga classes even more.

What should I wear to Pilates?

Choose comfortable, fitted workout wear so our teachers can observe and guide your movement more accurately.

All sessions are done without shoes and socks, going barefoot helps “wake up” your feet and improves balance!

How often should I do Pilates? How long will it take for me to see results?

Joseph Pilates famously said: “In 10 sessions, you’ll feel better. In 20, you’ll look better. And in 30, you’ll have a whole new body.”

While that’s an inspiring benchmark, your personal results will depend on:

✔ Consistency: Even one class per week helps if done regularly, though 2-3x/week is ideal for faster progress.
✔ Lifestyle: An active routine and balanced diet enhance your Pilates benefits.
✔ Your starting point: Existing injuries or mobility challenges may adjust your timeline.

The key is to be consistent. Frequent self-practice will help your body absorb and retain what you learn.

Do you have Pilates Reformer classes?

At our studio, we thoughtfully select from our full range of equipment – including reformers – based on what will best help you achieve your movement goals.

Our sessions are always equipment-intentional, never equipment-obligatory.

Love the reformer? Gather 3+ friends and we can create a private group class just for you! Email us to discuss scheduling and pricing.

Note: For safety, group classes require participants to be injury-free. If you’re recovering, we recommend starting with a private session.
