Pilates - home fitness

Pull out your gym mat and get ready to do a series of movements that will stabilize and strengthen your core.You’ll get stronger, more sculpted muscles and gain flexibility. You may also have better posture and a better sense of well-being.
If you are looking to strengthen your abdomen and pelvis as well as maintain good posture, then Pilates is for you. It also has a strong mind/body connection, so you may like it if you enjoy yoga but need a more intense core workout.

There is limited evidence to support the use of Pilates to alleviate lower back pain, improve strength, and prevent elderly people from falling. It has not been shown to be effective treatment for any medical condition.

Pilates is great for strengthening and toning your core and for increasing your flexibility, but it’s not a comprehensive strength building program. You will need to supplement it with some other exercises if you want to build up your arm or calf muscles. Talk to your trainer to see what would be best. And don’t forget your cardio!

Pilates involves precise moves and specific breathing techniques. It’s not for you if you prefer a less structured program. It also won’t fit your needs if you are looking for an aerobic workout.

Pilates can be very demanding, so start slowly. Instructors do not have to be licensed, so it’s best to get recommendations before selecting one.

Customizable and easy to follow. This app even allows you to pause to read instructions if there is a new move you have not done before. There is a nice big timer counting down. I turned off the voice so a bell indicated when it was time to do the next move. Simple and straightforward so I can start my workout quickly. Every program includes a warm-up and cool-down. This app is the perfect work-out companion.

Good exercises. The grafics are more clear than in the previous version. Could improve telling for example during resting time to get ready few seconds before an exercise starts, informing while doing the exercise when its half the time, and by counting down the last remaining seconds of each exercise. Otherwise, it is well balanced and offers a complete spectrum of fitness workouts. Thanks! Keep it up!

The animated graphics are not at all helpful when it comes to correct posture while actual doing the exercise. There is no button for the previous exercise if you by mistake press skip . There are a lot of instructions written below the. Visuals are powerful to convey the message so again a lot of improvement in animated visual is required. High chances of getting injured if doing at home.

good set of Pilates exercises, no a ads during workouts (only after, so far). Good explanation (written + animated cartoon figure). Downside: all exercises take 30 seconds by default, which is too little for some (cannot do "100" in 30 seconds). English is very good (almost perfect). Did not try out the countless customisation possibilities yet.

Timer is buggy, ten seconds flew by in 2 so impossible to read instructions, got buggier still when i paused it. Instructions are in poor English, very lengthy, hard to understand, and they look like they were stolen from somewhere else since they sometimes suggest ending the exercise with a pose, which makes no sense given the exercises are supposed to be done one by one. Uninstalling, can surely find better.

Positive are the many exercises in the app and the three levels. However, the descriptions of the exercises are not really understandable, much of these don't make any sense unfortunately.

I have never done pliates and I think this is a good app to start. Being unfit, the time pushed me just enough but without needing to opt out of an exercise. You can adjust the time but I started with the already set time.

Good start, but needs a lot of work. Clean and easy to navigate. Limited exercises. Truly poor English translation to the point of occasional nonsense.

Rob. M. May 26, 2020     

Great app, I use it regularly... however having the ability to mix exercises from the different difficulties and create a custom set would really make a massive difference to me personally... Maybe even time per individual exercise? Thanks 🙂

The developer tries to provide correct guidance as much as possible, including the breathing in relation to the movement. The app is straightforward and easy to use. I really appreciate it.

Great, easy to understand, you can pause to check if you are doing it correctly, and you have options big beginners to hard, love it

Very easy to understand, gets right to the point, the program is a healthy fitness plan. As a beginner, my goal will be to complete each workout and move to the next level!

Just did my first workout - love the flow, simple instructions and timing bell. Love that you don't have to stop between each exercise. Thank you to the developer!

Excellent for a free app. Some typos and some descriptions might be difficult for those attempting Pilates for the first time.

Aud. K. Feb 5, 2021     

Very good app, gets you sweating by the time it is finished. 4 stars because the trainer is very fast for some workouts, otherwise, it's a very good app

Nic. Feb 12, 2020     

Very challenging if you are new to pilates like me. I am still on level one cant finish the 26 exercises but i love to be challenged. This workout definitely works the abs.

I've only used it once so far but found it fairly easy to follow. It works for what I need (mother of toddler so squeeze in what I can when I can). I have already recommended to my friends.

Jan. M. Apr 12, 2020     

I am enjoying the workout, in same cases the technique descriptions are a bit unclear, being an absolute beginner to Pilates.

Tim. M. Jul 16, 2019     

Three workouts only. Not that varied. Explanation and animation average. Uninatalled.

Phi. L. Aug 3, 2019     

Easy to use, good adjustment options and ads don't interrupt workouts.

Joy. G. Jun 11, 2020     

Good app. Easy to adjust the workouts and customise to your own preference.

Wes. P. Jan 7, 2019     

After first attempt using it, I decided to uninstall. Difficult to understand the instructions as the English is not clear enough to follow along.

Mar. Feb 16, 2019     

None of the buttons to the left work, I clicked on them multiple times. I paid for this app so I am a bit disappointed.

nou. k. Dec 29, 2018

Aim. O. Jul 17, 2019

Ale. F. Aug 1, 2020     

Excellent pilates app. Gives you the good rithm to exercise, allows to choose exercise. Well done.

Dam. V. T. Feb 25, 2020     

Great workout. Will give 5 stars of 3 second warning is included as it helps to mentally prepare for change.
