Pilates with Sara is a 16-week training program that is suitable for all fitness levels, focused on building core strength, flexibility, balance, and body awareness. 

What are the weekly goals?

In Pilates Weeks 1-4 you will have the following goals to work towards: 

• 3 resistance training classes
• 2 cardio sessions (LISS)
• 1 recovery session (Mindful Movement)

In Weeks 5-8, your resistance goals increase to: 

• 4 resistance training classes
• 2 cardio sessions (LISS)
• 1 recovery session (Mindful Movement)

What do the classes involve?

All workouts are full-body but include a slightly different focus. Each class follows a list of sequences ranging from 2-8 minutes to make up a 30-40 minute session.

Strength & Conditioning

During the Strength & Conditioning classes, you will focus on controlled movement and slowly developing strength throughout your full range of motion. Your conditioning will improve as exercise complexity increases throughout the program. These sessions involve 9 sequences ranging from 2-9 minutes, to make up a 30-50 minute class. 

HIIP - High Intensity Interval Pilates

HIIP classes involve high-intensity movements to elevate the heart rate and challenge coordination with movements that integrate the upper and lower body through a strong core. These sessions consist of 3 sequences ranging from 4-17 minutes, to make up a 30-minute class. 

Warm-ups and cool-downs are incorporated into each resistance class.

Express Classes

Short on time? Express classes will allow you to access a quick workout for the week, whilst still giving you a good workout! The Express classes run between 10-20 minutes.

Mindful Movement (Recovery)

Mindful Movement classes help to improve posture and flexibility by focusing on movements that promote blood flow to working muscles before you increase your range of motion through gentle stretches while using your breath to connect with your body and promote recovery. This session consists of 1 sequence to make up a 30-minute class.
