@pilates_bynate: Pilates was never meant to build muscle - and that’s the point. Can Pilates make you stronger? Absolutely. Can it create some muscle growth, especially if you’re new to training? Yes. But if your main goal is to build significant muscle mass, you need progressive overload — gradually increasing the demand placed on your muscles over time through resistance, load, reps or training volume. And this is where Pilates often gets misunderstood. Pilates develops strength through control, stability, coordination, precision and intentional movement. Your muscles are working, often very hard, but muscle hypertrophy isn’t the primary goal of the method. Instead, Pilates can help you build: ✨ core strength and stability ✨ better posture and alignment ✨ mobility and control ✨ coordination and body awareness ✨ strength through different ranges of motion ✨ better movement quality And this is exactly why Pilates and strength training complement each other so well. The control, stability, mobility and body awareness you develop through Pilates can carry over into your strength training — helping you move with better technique, control your range of motion, maintain proper core connection, use your body more efficiently and reduce your risk of injury. At the same time, strength training gives you the progressive overload needed to build muscle and increase your capacity to handle heavier loads. You don’t have to choose between the two. Combining Pilates with strength training can make you a stronger, more capable mover both in your workouts and in everyday life. Do you combine Pilates + strength training?

cabinandcountylife :

Girlss :

So i can’t grow my glutes by just doing pilates?

Its_Seamon :

my body has changed dramatically with pilates. more then I ever seen while weight training. its a different type of physique. and my core has never felt stronger. but I still do both. I will say I can lift super heavy and put in work In the gym, but I never feel as dead as I do after a class at bodyrok lol

CHÉRLUX | Pilates & Lifestyle :

You are so stronggg!!

mazzyg2 :

My body has changed the most from pilates and yoga 4 times a week. When i strength trained and cardio I was so inflamed and much bulkier, so this feels like a much more gentle approach for me and helps both my mind and body. The most important thing for us is to find something that works and stay consistent and not put our body and minds under too much stress 🩷

pilateswithjuanita :

The control and precision is BEAUTIFUL

proverbs_7.11 :

Pilates feels like low intensity calisthenics. I’m really starting to enjoy it.

UsernameXYZ :

I combine strength training 2 times per week with pilates 2 times per week, great combination.

Andrea Martin :

I've been mixing pilates into my weekly split since being postpartum and I've never seen such results when I used to do just weight training it's crazy. If anyone needs a beginner yet challenging option I've been watching pilates with Tay shes amazing

Kelly :

Did pump classes consistently for years! Switched to Reformer and a year on the muscles I’ve now gain is insane! My legs and my arms are slimmer, my core and balance are stronger. Coordination still needs work though 🫣😂😂
