We had the pleasure of speaking with Hannah, a 28-year-old Disability Support Worker, who shares her inspiring journey with Reformer Pilates at Pronto. From her initial reasons for joining, to the incredible impact it has had on her overall wellbeing, Hannah’s story is a testament to the transformative power of incorporating Pilates into one’s life.
Let’s dive into her experience.
1. Why did you decide to join Pronto?
Hannah: I joined Pronto because of the low prices. I didn’t think I’d have anything to lose if I didn’t enjoy it. I am working active night shifts and find the regular classes make it easy for me to book in a session around work. I also like having that quiet time to myself, as the classes are all held by a virtual pre-recorded instructor.
2. How has Reformer Pilates contributed to your overall well-being, strength, and self-care?
Hannah: My mental health has improved significantly, and that positivity has spilled over into other aspects of my life. It’s helping me stay motivated to do other exercises and eat healthier.
I’m finding myself wanting to dress up and get out and do things.
My husband even mentioned how much better my mood is now that I’m taking time out of my day to do something just for me.
3. Any tips for newbies?
Hannah: I’m a plus-sized gal, and I have found the classes to be challenging enough to feel the workout but not so intense that I felt I couldn’t do it.
At Pronto, you’ll see women and men of all shapes, sizes, and ages attending these classes. You can also adjust the workout to suit your fitness level, so you can build up to it. My advice is to start with the foundation classes, and once you feel comfortable, move up to the open classes.
