At this time in the world, staying fit isn’t the easiest thing to do. So many people rely heavily on exercise for their mood, health, and keeping the shape they want. When the pandemic interrupted all our lives many were at a loss for what to do and how to keep an effective fitness routine. How can someone stay fit and stay safe at the same time? Covid-19 had changed every aspect of our lives. So many things we took for granted were completely turned around as everyone sought new and safe ways to fulfill their lives. Many felt increased depression and anxiety. Many saw a massive impact on their health, gaining weight and lacking exercise. The number of creative ways people began to put their lives back together is amazing as we’ve all found how to work within the boundaries of safety while still living our best life.

One such creative and great way is how Tribe Pilates Studio began their Outdoor Reformer Pilates Classes due to Covid. In order to help people keep on top of their fitness needs, Tribe Pilates Studio began outdoor classes in the fresh air to offer a safer environment in the midst of the pandemic. This way people can take the classes in a safe and beautiful environment and gain the benefits of regular exercise. Tribe Pilates is also excited to share with the community that they will now be offering classes as both an indoor and outdoor hybrid.  This allows Tribe Pilates to safely move their studio back inside, following all of the city mandated guidelines, while also offering an outdoor space for those more comfortable in that environment.

5 key benefits of Pilates

The benefits you can get from a great Pilates class like what is offered in the Tribe Pilates Outdoor Reformer Pilates Classes due to Covid are numerous. The whole body workout is a great opportunity to reach your goals and stay fit. They’re also a great opportunity to lose some weight and tone. Here are five key benefits to Pilates as a form of exercise.

1. Get a sleek body

There are no questions that Pilates helps you lose weight and tone your muscles. Those who want to maintain their shape or who want to achieve a sexy and strong body should try the Pilates classes at Tribe Pilates Studio. They focus on the entire body, so you know the workout will cover all those trouble areas. It also focuses more on toning instead of bulking up, so while you will get stronger you won’t have to worry about developing massive muscles.

2. Improved flexibility

With all the stretching and strengthening that’s involved in Pilates, it’s no wonder your flexibility will improve as you follow the studio’s instructors and programs. With their Outdoor Reformer classes, the experts at Tribe Pilates can help you increase your flexibility and therefore ease joint pain and muscle aches. Better flexibility also means fewer injuries, better circulation within your body, and stronger posture.

3. Stronger bones

Because of the nature of Pilates, the combination of stretching and strength helps to strengthen bone density in the same way that Pilates would strengthen muscles. This will help keep you active longer and is a great benefit for the older crowd. Many studies and experts agree that regular exercise to build strength will go a long way in making a senior’s life more comfortable.

4. Back pain relief

The movements and deep breathing in Pilates involve some great stretches that help to relieve joints and reduce aches, especially in the back. Your spine carries a lot of stress with it. As you workout, you will not only benefit from the stretching and movements of the exercise, but you will also feel a release of stress tension in your back. Pilates also relies on a strong core. This means your back isn’t doing as much work, but your core muscles are.

5. Reduced stress

One of the most beneficial areas that Pilates can help you with is stress relief. Regular exercise reduces anxiety and stress related symptoms. There is also a focus on deep breathing that helps to calm nerves and improve attitude. Mental illnesses and anxiety induced stress has become a massive problem with countless people since the pandemic began. Drinking and drug use rose and many began suffering from stress related symptoms who had never experienced them before. This is why it’s so important to get out and stay healthy physically and mentally, and why Tribe Pilates started their Outdoor Reformer Pilates Classes due to Covid.

Tribe Pilates Studio has set their goal of helping people feel their best during these difficult times. Right now while physical health and mental balance are fading, many are struggling to find their way back to a toned body, exercise induced energy boosts, and comradery from exercising in a group setting. Despite the challenges faced through the past year, Tribe Pilates Studio was voted Most Loved New Business in Santa Monica 2020. Their drive and determination to help their clients have kept them going despite all the businesses that suffered from Covid-19. Tribe Pilates Studio has made it possible to help so many people reach their fitness goals. They can help you as well, all while keeping everyone safe.
