Spring Into Pilates: Why Consistency & Regular Attendance is Key ✨🌸

Spring Is Here — Let’s Talk Summer Goals and Sustainable Fitness

Spring has officially sprung, which means summer is right around the corner! Can you believe it?

This time of year, many of us are dusting off our shorts and t-shirts—or maybe eyeing that swimsuit in the back of the drawer. But instead of focusing on quick fixes or extreme routines, I believe summer should be about preparing your body for all the outdoor adventures you want to enjoy and supporting your long-term health and vitality.

The shift from “getting ready” to “staying ready”

For me, it’s all about staying ready, not scrambling to get ready. Crash diets, fitness fads, and burning yourself out at the gym might offer short-term changes, but they’re rarely sustainable. What really works? A consistent routine you can stick with for the long haul. By having a more consistent schedule, you won’t feel the anxiety and pressure to prepare for certain things, and your body will be more adept at handling whatever life throws your way, or even an “off month”.

So, where does Pilates fit into all of this?

Pilates is a powerful, sustainable practice that supports strength, flexibility, balance, and recovery—all essential for an active summer (and life!). Yes, summer can be a great motivation to get moving, but the real magic happens when you continue those habits into fall, winter, and beyond.

One of the most common questions I get is:
“How often should I do Pilates to see results?”

The answer can vary slightly depending on your body and goals, but the sweet spot tends to be 1–3 sessions per week. This level of consistency allows you to build strength, improve mobility, and truly feel the transformative effects of the practice. Sure, you might feel better after just one class—but the lasting benefits show up over months and even years.

When a studio or instructor recommends coming 1–2 times per week, they’re not just trying to fill up classes—they’re telling you the truth. Consistency is key.

Make Pilates Part of Your Weekly Routine

Think of it like strength training or running: if someone wants to build muscle or train for a 5K, working out once or twice a month—or worse, once a quarter—won’t cut it. Every time there’s a big gap between sessions, the body has to relearn what it was starting to build.

It takes thousands of repetitions to create and reinforce neuromuscular patterns, to grow stronger muscles, and to improve the way your body moves. You simply can’t achieve that with sporadic practice.

So, whether your goals are to improve balance, build strength, tone up, or use Pilates as a recovery tool—make it part of your weekly routine. Aim for 1–3 classes a week, or as often as your schedule allows, and watch your body transform over the course of the summer... and well beyond. ❤️
