7 reasons to do one to one Pilates programming

1. INDIVIDUAL EXPERT ADVICE

In a world diluted with influencers and Pilates “pros”, you can’t beat expert advice from a qualified and experienced professional.

A qualified Pilates teacher is the expert you need to provide you tailored advice and exercises, whether you’re goal is to:

Complete your first marathon or triathlon
Improve your sporting game
Charge up your training
Maximize your time and effort

The benefits of personal training and expert advice are unquestionable if you’re:

Suffering or recovering from an injury
Working out during pregnancy
Getting back to exercising post natal

2. SAFE, SUITABLE & SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING

Everyone’s goals differ which is why if you take two people and do the same online program you will likely get different results.

Investing in a Pilates teacher means you get:

Personalised training
Encouragement and guidance on how to try new movements, and workouts
A wider variety of exercise in your training routine

Safe and suitable programming is one of the top benefits of pilates training and particularly important if you have any contraindications to exercise, injuries, pre/post natal or post menopausal.

3. MOTIVATION & ACCOUNTABILITY

When exercising on your own it can be easy to skip a session, snooze your alarm clock or cheat a set. A personal trainer will keep you accountable and push your workouts to the next level while providing motivation throughout each session and the duration of your program.

4. FRESH IDEAS & INSPIRATION

It can be easy to fall into the same workout habits and eventually get bored with your workout routine. In addition to affecting your mood and motivation, this is a common cause of training plateau and you may be left wondering why you’re not seeing results from working out.

And in case you ever run out of ideas, there are a variety of tools that provide with your workout suggestions, such as the ‘Art of Pilates’ Facebook TV channel daily training guide.

A Pilates teacher can bring much-needed variety and a fresh perspective and new viewpoints to challenge both your body and mind. You can use these learnings and inspiration even after your Pilates program ends.

5. EFFICIENCY

Pilates teachers conduct a needs analysis and use their expertise to create a tailored and individual fitness plan to help you maximise results in a timely manner, increasing the efficiency of your exercise program.

This is especially beneficial if you have limited time to exercise – you know, nothing out of the ordinary, just the usual full-time job, family and social commitments – and you want to capitalize on the time you spend working out. Effective workouts with a personal trainer will make sure you’ll have time for other important things in your life.

6. SUPPORT

One of the perhaps less known benefits of personal training is that it’s much more than fitness. Personal trainers act as unofficial therapists and can provide a great source of connection. Sure, they’ll help you reach your fitness goals but they also care about your well-being and can assist in improving not only your physical, but mental health.

7. RESULTS

Depending on your goals and budget, you may use a Pilates trainer once a week or once a month. If you’re not sure, just try it out once to see if it’s right for you.

Many great trainers also provide information, tools and resources on your nutrition and lifestyle habits to maximize your results. That is something you can take with you and incorporate in your journey to healthy, active living in the long term.

About the Author: Nisha Srivastava

Nisha is a certified level 3 Chek practitioner and holistic lifestyle coach specialising in Pilates and Yoga. Her journey started when a visiting Laban teacher introduced her to Pilates at Dance College in a contemporary class during her first year. Its effects were forgotten but she then re-discovered Pilates through Michael King eleven years later whilst running her dance school. Her background spans over 32 years with formal training in classical ballet, modern dance, tap, national choreography, stage production and theatre. Her formation includes Pilates, Thai bodywork, Yoga, GYROTONIC, GYROKINESIS, Garuda and anatomical studies. Her particular interest is fascia, and the connective lines and movement patterns that allow a full moving structure rather than the isolation of bones and muscles. Her fascination with questioning the traditions of modern medicine and fascination with searching for meaningful answers has taken her in many different directions and has offered her an abundance of opportunities gaining a wealth of knowledge. “I tried many movement modalities and extended my search after experiencing fascia, because of its connection of movement. Quickly, I noticed my own body changing, as well as the bodies of my own clients. In the last 32 years of teaching I’ve developed my own movement and lifestyle philosophy". Throughout her studies Nisha has done numerous dissections with Julian Baker, Mel Cash and Cery Davies and has the opportunity to take lectures and courses from James de Silva, Robert Schleip, Joanne Avison, Tom Myers, Matt Wallden, Leigh Brandon, Emma Lane, Gary Carter, Paul Chek, Dan Hellman, Peter Blackaby plus many more. Nisha's teaching method promotes reflective self-discovery and provides the requirements to integrate a shift in consciousness for attaining individual goals. Nisha teaches in her own studios in St. Helens and Manchester, plus she also has an online following. Throughout her career she has also taught Sting, Sir Ian McKellen, Cirque de Soleil, Will Young and Belinda Carlisle. She has also worked in professional football and both Rugby League and Union for over 20 years. Players she has provided a specific program for were former Manchester Citys Vincent Kompany, Everton's Steven Pinnear and goal keeper Jonas Lossi. She maintains that an attitude of compassion, consistency and joyous humour are excellent components to growth and expanded potential. She welcomes all level of movers from the beginner to the seasoned athlete who have a desire to increase their skill potential, also teachers and students. Her specialties include assisting post rehabilitative back pain individuals, injury prevention for athletes and spine health for everyday people.
