Not All Pilates Is the Same... Here’s Why

/ Good Body Pilates Studio /

Pilates is a full-body system, not just a workout on a reformer. And while many studios use similar equipment, the way Pilates is taught can feel very different depending on the instructor’s training and approach.

What “Comprehensive Certification” Really Means

At Good Body Pilates Studio, all instructors are comprehensively certified, meaning they’ve completed extensive education across the entire Pilates system, including mat, reformer, Cadillac, chair, barrels, anatomy, and biomechanics.

This matters because Pilates was designed to be:

  • adaptable

  • corrective

  • progressive

  • supportive of long-term health

Without proper training, classes can become rushed, repetitive, or unsafe, especially for people managing injuries or returning after time away.

Traditional Pilates, Taught Thoughtfully

We teach traditional Pilates as it was intended: a system that builds strength, alignment, and awareness over time. We don’t chase trends or shortcuts. Instead, we focus on quality of movement and individualized instruction.

That’s also why we teach to the body in front of us. No two bodies are the same, and Pilates works best when it’s adapted to the person doing the work.

If you’re looking for Pilates that feels intelligent, supportive, and effective, the way it’s taught makes all the difference.
