what is the difference between pilates machines and mat pilates?
With machines, you will work one-on-one with a certified instructor, who will design a program and modify the exercises with your specific needs and goals in mind. The Pilates machines create resistance and give the body more support and stability throughout the lesson. In mat Pilates, you will be one of a group of 4 to 8 students, performing the same exercises, at the same pace. Since there are no apparatus in a mat class, you will look to your own body to create resistance and stability. We recommend that you only do mat classes if you are without injuries.
