<p>Pilates is arguably one of the trendiest workouts right now, with celebrities locally and abroad posting photos of themselves in stretchy poses, sometimes suspended in the air in a complicated looking machine. If you aren’t already hooked on it, you’ve probably tried a session or two of pilates—a low impact exercise that helps improve strength and flexibility. But there’s so many more benefits to take away from this workout that it easily becomes a go-to for a lot of people—from muscle improvement to core strength, to form correction, to, of course, weight loss.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/66a445d9-6345-4fd6-ab94-c4b8f375f515_logan-weaver-amgv9yug-ma-unsplash.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/wellness/fitness/why-is-pilates-famous-among-korean-celebrities/30774" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This Is Why Pilates Is Such A Hit Among Korean Stars</a></div><p>While there are a lot of amazing pilates studios in the metro, it&#x27;s no surprise that the on-going pandemic has indefinitely put a halt on people’s regular attendance to actual classes. Good thing though, you can still practice the workout with proper coaching, and yes, the right equipment! </p><div><br/></div><p>For first-timers, it may be intimidating—what with all the equipment you’ll need to invest in for a complete full body experience. Online classes are available online, with knowledgeable instructors that will guide you through a session that’s part-challenging and a whole lot of fun. Some of the best pilates hubs that offer virtual training are <a href="https://www.theonelifestudio.com/" target="_blank">OneLife Studio</a> and <a href="https://www.optionsstudioph.com/" target="_blank">Options Studio</a>. They offer packages for beginners and seasoned pilates fans, catering to every level. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/wellness/fitness/workouts-for-every-season-in-your-life/31096" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Workouts For Every Season In Your Life</a></div><p>And now that you’re settled with your instructor, it’s time to determine the tools you’ll need to stock up on. Serious pilates enthusiasts could consider a pilates reformer as a good investment, while newer students would DIY their way to mastering this well-loved exercise using simpler, and more affordable tools. No matter which one you may be, it’s time to tidy up a space in your home for your personal pilates studio (don&#x27;t forget to add some sunshine by a window, and good music!)
