What is Pilates?
Pilates is a safe and effective total body exercise that everyone can benefit from whether you are a complete beginner or super-fit.
Originally developed almost one hundred years ago by Joseph Pilates to rehabilitate injured soldiers, it has since been updated with modern knowledge about how the body works.
Unlike exercise done at gyms, when you do Pilates you will perform movements that are low-impact to benefit flexibility, muscular strength and endurance. You'll be shown how to do the exercises with an emphasis on precision, balanced posture, core strength and controlled movements.
When you perform a regular Pilates routine your instructor will focus on the deep stabilising muscles of the torso, hips, and shoulder girdle and help you develop long, lean, functionally strong muscles without adding bulk.
This can improve your flexibility, strength and mobility, restoring balance to your body. Your deep muscles help change and improve your posture and enable you to move with ease and feel more energetic.
Simply put, Pilates is resistance training in which you use springs and body weight exercises to develop a strong core and condition the whole body. It can also be helpful if you train for sports or in physical rehabilitation.
From our experience with thousands of Options Pilates Studio clients we can confirm the commonly quoted claim by Joseph Pilates, founder and creator of the Pilates Method when he said: “In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 sessions you will see the difference and in 30 sessions you will have a new body”.
As your postural muscles get stronger your whole body will be less tired throughout the day, with fewer aches and pains and better energy for daily life.
You can apply the principles of Pilates in your everyday life, from sitting at the desk in the office, to better posture while running or cycling, or even reducing your risk of injury in the gym with better balanced muscles.
Why Pilates Is Right For You:
Your flexibility will improve with Pilates
Like most people you are may be either a bit stiff or hyper-flexible. Either way you will benefit by gaining strength and control of the stabilisting muscles around your joints making you more flexible, but with control.
Your neck and back pain will reduce with Pilates
When your core gets stronger with Pilates your back gets stronger. Pilates helps relieve back pain and keep it away. By stabilising your core’s lumbar-pelvic (lower-back) region, Pilates alleviates stress on the area and increase lower-back mobility.
You will develop your core strength and posture with Pilates
When your core is strong, the weight of your body is properly supported. This means the neck and shoulders can relax, and the rest of your tight muscles and joints are freed up to do their jobs. With Pilates you will ingrain a new habit of correct postural support with your muscles.
Pilates is suitable for you no matter what your age or fitness level
Whether you are a senior just starting to exercise, an athlete who needs strength training or anywhere in-between, foundations of Pilates can apply to you. There are thousands of possible exercises and modifications, Pilates can be tailored to your individual needs.
Your mind and body connection will get stronger with Pilates
With Pilates classes you will practice each movement with awareness. This builds great habits and increases your overall awareness, both of what you're doing right and when you are doing something wrong. You will learn the Pilates principles of centering, concentration, control, precision, breath, and flow – key concepts we use to integrate the body and the mind.
You'll build strength without bulk with Pilates
In Pilates, we’re not looking to build muscles just for show. You will build strong lean muscles that work in-tune with your whole body enabling efficient and graceful movement. We call it long, lean muscles, but really it means healthy, balanced efficient muscles.
Your sports performance will improve
Along with a better mind-body connection, you'll experience improved balance of the different muscles in your body. This is especially important if you practice sports because of imbalances created by repetitive movements like running, cycling, tennis or golfing. Pilates will balance your body, develop muscular symmetry and align your posture, reducing the likelihood of injury.
Pilates is especially great if you're pregnant
Pilates is probably the best exercise for pregnant women and new moms. When you exercise your core & pelvic muscles regularly, it helps alleviate lower back and pelvic pain. Many even experience shorter labor. Pilates before, during and after pregnancy also speeds up the process of getting your body back in shape after childbirth.

I've been going to Options Pilates for over a year now and love it! The instruction is excellent and the groups are never too large - my instructor is the best. I especially enjoy my one-on-one private sessions where she really tailors the sessions according to exactly what I need/need to strengthen. The variety of classes are good too whether you want mat, reformer or a combo of the two.

My instructor Mel is the best ever for private lessons. Must see her! She targeted muscles I didn't even know I had and can make the workout strengthening, core, cardio , resistance.... u name it. Makes me feel like an Athletes. More than worth what I pay each lesson. A playground of equipment to choose from and extreme professionalism. I would recommend Melissa to any private or corporate client looking to enhance their physical health n longevity.

Options Pilates Studio is a fantastic facility exuding warmth and catering to everyone's pilates needs. I had a great time training with Patrick and Chisa, who deliver challenging programs in a safe manner, and have the ability to differentiate to individual needs in a group class ensuring everyone feels accomplished and happily worked out by the end of the hour. 'Options' came highly recommended to me by various Pilates teachers overseas and now that I've trained here myself I understand why: the instructors are highly knowledgeable and the environment supportive to achieving your goals. Next time I'm in Singapore I'll definitely be back!

Amazing studio and trainers here indeed! Since Dec 2017, I have had three slipped disc so I was in trouble to live normally. Every small motion & action was challange for me as like walking, standing, sitting definitely picking up & carrying out etc. Btw one of my friends recommanded here strongly so i've joined the one to one session. After 4-5 sessions later, my right side toe's numb and cramp has been disappeared. And now, almost a half year later, I can live looks like no disc at all and I am starting to have a good posture. Chest proud, shoulder down and being tall!! I love this studio and I respect my trainer Sharon! I've never ever met a trainer like Sharon, very good person & fantastic trainer. She is my real doctor for my slipped disc! Please trust this review and join right away!

I took prenatal classes at Option Pilates Studio in Bukit Tumah and was very much satisfied. The coaches are well-trained and especially for me it was important that they had special education in prenatal/postnatal Pilates as well. The studio is well-equipped, the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, the whole team is very friendly and professional in considering individual needs and wishes. Thanks to everyone making my training so special!
