Do I need to be fit to take Pilates?

Short answer… absolutely not 💗

Pilates isn’t something you do because you’re already fit.

It’s something you do to get stronger, more mobile, and more connected to your body.

You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to be strong.
You don’t need any experience.

That’s literally what you’re here to build.

Pilates meets you where you’re at - whether you’re a complete beginner, coming back after a break, or just wanting to move better and feel better.

And the beauty of it?

Everything can be adjusted:
• Springs can be lighter or heavier
• Movements can be simplified or progressed
• Options can be given for *your* body

There is no “perfect” starting point.
There’s just starting.

So if you’ve been waiting until you feel “fit enough”…

This is your sign to begin 💫

When you’re in plank and your core starts shaking and your shoulders are like “ma’am…”

Just remember:

You once waited three hours to not look “too available.”

You are strong.😉

What if..

What you’re scared of, becomes the best decision you ever make?

We would love to have you join the Function Family:

If you’re shaking in class, please don’t panic!!⤵️

And definitely don’t think everyone else is super steady and you’re the only one shaking over there.

✨ Those deep stabilizers? They’re waking up.

Pilates isn’t just big surface muscles. It’s the tiny, deep core muscles. The side glutes. The inner thighs. The ones you don’t normally use when you’re just moving through daily life.

And when they get challenged?

They get tired really quickly.

That little shake is them building strength!!

✨ Your brain + body are learning each other.

A lot of Pilates is connection.

When you’re holding that slow, controlled movement and everything starts to quiver, it’s often your nervous system figuring things out. Your brain is literally improving how it talks to your muscles.

That shake can mean:
“I’m learning something new here.”

Now, little loving reminder:

If you ever feel:
• Sharp pain (especially in joints)
• Dizziness
• Or you completely lose form

That’s your cue to pause. Pilates should challenge you, neverr hurt you.

Come along to Function Pilates, we host small boutique classes that let us focus on YOU, your adjustments and your progress 💙

POV: You said you’re “past the club phase”

…but the instructor drops a throwback and now you’re pulsing in straps like it’s bottle service.

At least this hangover is just sore abs.😜

Instructor: “Today’s class is light and gentle.”

Me halfway through:
☎️ Hello 911?
Yes. It’s the long lunge hold.
No, I can’t get up.

Nice and easy hits different in Pilates 😅

Without our clients, the studios are just walls.🥹

You are the energy.
You are the laughter between sets.
You are the deep breaths, the breakthroughs, the shaky holds, the strength.

You are the SOUL of this space. 💛

We’re so grateful you choose to move with us.

Your first class is just $15, head to the link in bio to book:

Instructor favorite and least favorite on the Reformer 💛

We asked our instructors to share their go-to reformer exercise… and Eve’s Lunge made the list.

Why? Tight hip flexors are real - especially if you sit, drive, or live on your phone all day.

Eve’s Lunge is our reset:
✨ Opens the front of the hips
✨ Encourages true hip extension
✨ Supports low back comfort
✨ Wakes up the glutes

Pro tip: Lift up and forward before you sink deeper. Length first, depth second.

Tight hips? Come see us 😉

The least favorite move?
The one she’s still working on 😉

Because here’s the truth: even instructors are always learning.

Pilates isn’t about mastering every move.
It’s about refining, progressing, and staying curious.

We’re all students in the studio. Always. 💛
