From beginner to advanced, find the right Pilates class for you!

With 1.5 billion views on TikTok, #Pilates is the movement of the moment! Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your Pilates to the next level, we’re going to talk you through the various styles of Pilates on Kic, where to start, how to progress, and what to do for the ultimate challenge. 

I’M A BEGINNER, WHERE SHOULD I START? 

If you’re new to Pilates or are getting back into movement, let’s bring it back to basics. Mat Pilates is simple and effective, executing classic movements at a slow steady pace. This allows your body to become familiar with the style and requires minimal to no equipment. Mari and Christina will ease you into the movement but will also ensure you get that burn!

We recommend completing Core Plank Control with Mari or Adductors and More with Christina to get started on your Pilates journey.

READY TO TAKE YOUR PILATES TO THE NEXT LEVEL? 

Once you’re comfortable and familiar with the Pilates burn, you might be ready to turn things up a notch. This is where Cardio Pilates comes in! This style consists of movements that are done at a faster pace, often with more layers to increase intensity. Don’t be intimidated by the term “cardio”, we promise this style still has the moves you know and love, just with a bit more spice.

Keen to try Cardio Pilates? Give Get your Groove on with Christina or Cardio Booty Burner with Mari a go!

READY FOR THE ULTIMATE PILATES CHALLENGE? 

We have 2 styles waiting for you in app! The first is Barre Pilates, fusing together yoga, Pilates and ballet into one full body session. Helping you strengthen and work your entire body and ups the intensity by keeping you consistently moving from one movement to another. We recommend Cardio Barre for the best introduction to Kika’s Barre Pilates.

The second style is Power Pilates, is a fusion of strength and Pilates to give you that extra burn. Expect longer holds, more controlled movements and variations to take your flow to the next level. Give Leo’s Power Pilates Burner a go for the ultimate burn.
