Find a professional pilates instructor in South West Sydney

Pilates classes - or a Pilates instructor’s services - typically include guiding you through a series of movements that will help you achieve the principles of Pilates. These principles are correct alignment, centering, concentration, control, precision, breathing, and flow.

When you book a Pilates session through Airtasker, you can look for Pilates classes near you, a private instructor who can go to your home, or even online classes you can follow from any location! Though your instructor’s specialisations may vary, in general, here are the kinds of Pilates classes you might find in your neighbourhood:

Beginner Pilates classes

When you sign up with a local Pilates coach for beginners, your trainer may introduce basic moves such as glute bridges, side-lying leg abductions, lying windshield wipers, and back extensions. 

At first, you might be surprised by how demanding Pilates is in terms of focus and breathing and how it doesn’t really make you work up a sweat. This reaction is expected - the exercise isn’t for cardiovascular health; instead, it’s for toning your muscles. For better overall health, you will want to schedule some cardio workouts between your Pilates sessions. 

Online Pilates classes 

Online Pilates classes are extra-convenient and ideal for those who can’t leave home to head to a fitness centre. If you’d like to sign up for Pilates online classes, simply specify this in your task post.

Classical Pilates 

When you book a local Pilates class instructor, you may be faced with several styles. One of these is Classical Pilates, also known as Traditional Pilates, Roman Pilates, and Real Pilates. These lessons focus on the features, specifications, and teachings of founder Joseph Pilates. Here, exercises are done in a particular order and are more prescriptive versus other styles. 

Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates involves a lot of floor exercises and uses little to no equipment. This style of Pilates focuses on core strength. Since Mat Pilates classes are usually taught in large groups, booking through Airtasker offers the significant advantage of getting private instruction from your coach.

Contemporary Pilates

Contemporary Pilates classes combine traditional Pilates with other kinds of exercise like yoga and physiotherapy. Here, you may need more props like foam rollers and resistance bands. It also uses modern research to modify some drills. 

Reformer Pilates

Reformer Pilates, which can be done as a group or by yourself at home, uses a Reformer machine. This machine increases resistance to help stretch your muscles even more. In general, a Reformer lets you do even more exercises that improve your strength, flexibility, and balance; this style of Pilates results in a tighter and leaner figure.
