Have you ever experienced gymtimidation? Gymtimidation is the fear of working out in front of others at a gym or a public fitness class. You'd be surprised at the percentage of people who claim to experience gymtimidation in some form or the other. We do our best to ensure that Calgary Pilates is a safe space for all our members - we have small classes (max of 3 at the moment) and welcome clients of all ages, fitness levels and backgrounds. But if you still feel hesitant abou...t visiting the studio, feel free to connect with our team to enquire about our virtual classes. Remember, we're here to help you in any way we can!

A great throwback to pre-Covid times with Jo-Anne demonstrating Corkscrew on Ladder Barrel, which as you may have guessed, is an advanced exercise. It takes the lower back through its full range of motion by starting in an extended position and moving all the way into full flexion of the spine as your legs move through the exercise - which takes a whole lot of core! You're also challenging your arm strength to hold you up as your legs come over the head and back around. Yo...u have to work with the balance of your arms and your body against the barrel so you don't go falling to the ground (that's never fun). This one is a full body workout!

The daily grind of looming deadlines, kids and housework can distract us from the basic human need to give our minds a break. Pause for a minute today and ask yourself this: How are you really feeling? Are you feeling overtired? What can you do today that will bring you joy? We often tend to overlook the little things when we're too caught up with bigger, seemingly more important tasks. Practice asking yourself these questions at a fixed time every day and soon enough, your... mental health check-ins will become a daily habit! * * * * * #calgarypilates #yyc #yycfitness #yycfit #calgarylife #4thstyyc #downtowncalgary #yycliving #yyclife #fitnessforall #calgaryism #calgaryfitness #pilates #pilatesyyc #yyclocal #fitnessforlife #stottpilates #yychealth #mentalhealthcheck #pilatesbody #abs #mentalheath #merrithew #pilateslovers #fitlife #fitspiration #workoutdone #noexcuses #wethefourth #workoutfromhome See more

Do you spend hours scrolling through social media every day? Do you take your laptop to bed at night or check your phone first thing every morning? If you answered yes to any of the above, you’re probably spending too much of your day staring at a screen. Now there’s no avoiding the blue light, but what we can do is reduce the amount of time we spend looking at our screens every day. Start by setting some ground rules. Have a no-phones at dinner policy or switch off all gadge...ts an hour before bedtime. Make it a habit, build it into your routine, and we promise you’ll thank yourself for it. * * * * * #calgarypilates #yyc #yycfitness #yycfit #calgarylife #4thstyyc #yycliving #yyclife #yycwellness #yycbuzz #calgaryism #calgaryfitness #pilates #pilatesyyc #yyclocal #fitnessforlife #stottpilates #yychealth #yycnow #pilatesbody #fitnesslife #pilateslovers #fitlife #fitspiration #workoutdone #noexcuses #selfcare #bodyweightworkout #virtualfitness #virtualworkout See more

We all know that self care is important. And yet, most of us fail to make it a priority in our daily lives. Especially if you’re a caregiver looking after kids or aging parents. It’s likely that you’re used to putting their needs above your own. But if you don’t get some personal time to look after your needs, you won’t be mentally or physically equipped to give either them or yourself the best possible care. Regardless of how many things you have on your to-do list for next... week, take some time off this weekend to indulge, recharge and rejuvenate. Trust us when we say, it makes all the difference in the world. * * * * * #calgarypilates #yyc #yycfitness #yycfit #calgarylife #4thstyyc #yycliving #yyclife #yycwellness #yycbuzz #calgaryism #calgaryfitness #pilates #pilatesyyc #yyclocal #fitnessforlife #stottpilates #yychealth #yycnow #pilatesbody #fitnesslife #pilateslovers #fitlife #fitspiration #workoutdone #noexcuses #selfcare #bodyweightworkout #virtualfitness #virtualworkout See more

Happy Monday everyone! Today, we have Heather showing us a beautiful demonstration of Up Stretch - a perfect exercise for practicing slowing down and focusing on each part of your movement. This exercise challenges articulation of the spine from a rounded position all the way to a straight dart position and then back to rounded again. The focus is on curving the back as much as possible and uncurling one vertebrae at a time. The shoulders are working in and out of a plank ...position and the gluts to push the carriage out and bring it back with control. It’s a total body exercise but you’ll especially feel the abs!

What's your preferred tool for a little extra "something" during your session? The Fitness Circle is one of our favourites for its versatility. Place it between the ankles and squeeze during footwork for an added challenge to the inner thighs. Hold it in front of you and squeeze in pulses to activate the shoulders while working rotation through the upper spine. There are plenty of sneaky ways to incorporate this great prop and make your workout a little more challenging!... * * * * * #calgarypilates #yyc #yycfitness #yycfit #calgarylife #4thstyyc #downtowncalgary #yycliving #yyclife #yycbuzz #calgaryism #calgaryfitness #pilates #pilatesyyc #yyclocal #fitnessforlife #stottpilates #yychealth #yycnow #pilatesbody #abs #getfit #merrithew #pilateslovers #fitlife #fitspiration #workoutdone #noexcuses #wethefourth #workoutfromhome See more

Pike to Plank - We probably don't need to tell you that this exercise works your core. It also works through the glutes, inner thighs and the shoulders. And if you think there's any rest during this exercise, you'll be disappointed!

When we think of injuries for swimmers, most often, the shoulder comes to mind. Good shoulder mobility and strength is key to performance in the sport but it's often overlooked that the ribcage/thorax contributes to those markers for the shoulders. If the ribcage is limited in function, the shoulders will be affected. Try Rotation with Port de Bras on the Spine Corrector. Not only is the spine moving into rotation but it is also moving into flexion and extension which inc...reases spinal mobility. The emphasis on using the handle helps increase the rotation of the spine and the rotation with extension really opens up the front of the chest. Sitting elevated on the step makes a it a little easier for those with tight in the hip flexors. This is a great warmup exercise and is also great for golfers! * * * * * #calgarypilates #yyc #yycfitness #yycfit #calgarylife #yycliving #yyclife #yycwellness #pilates #pilatesyyc #fitnessforlife #stottpilates #yycnow #pilateslovers #workoutdone #noexcuses #swimming #swimmer #swim #swimbikerun #swimlife #swimtraining #swimcoach #swimmerslife #swimfast #swimmerproblems #poolside #triathlon #triathlete See more

The most beautiful Developé demonstration, from the wonderful, Diana. This is an intermediate level exercise and while it may not look too challenging (she makes it look easy), it's actually quite hard to keep the torso stable through the movement of the single leg. It also works your coordination and the endurance of the supporting leg through the free leg's movements. * * * *... * #calgarypilates #yyc #yycfitness #yycfit #calgarylife #4thstyyc #downtowncalgary #yycliving #yyclife #yycwellness #yycbuzz #calgaryism #calgaryfitness #pilates #pilatesyyc #yyclocal #fitnessforlife #stottpilates #yychealth #yycnow #pilatesbody #fitnesslife #pilatesreformer #merrithew #pilateslovers #fitlife #fitspiration #workoutdone #noexcuses #selfcare See more

Cycling Posture Part 2 - We previously talked about the hunched posture of riders and how that can lead to generalized back pain. Working to improve stability through the shoulders and strengthening through the upper back is only part of the puzzle and will only get you so far if you're super tight through the front of your body. We have to get the muscles across our chest to open and THEN get the muscles in our back engaging and doing their job. * *... * * * #calgarypilates #yyc #yycfitness #yycfit #calgarylife #yycliving #yyclife #yycwellness #pilates #pilatesyyc #fitnessforlife #stottpilates #yycnow #pilateslovers #workoutdone #noexcuses #cycling #cyclinglife #bike #bikelife #roadbike #cyclist #bicycle #roadcycling #mountainbike #instacycling #cycle #triathlon #outsideisfree #fromwhereiride See more

Thursday Feature Class 12pm Core Challenge with Cheryl Reynolds This class offers everything Pilates has to offer, which is mainly core strengthening. We will start here and move to the rest of the body. This class should leave you feeling like you've had a total workout!... New to Virtual Classes? Email [email protected] to sign up for a free class!

For anyone who's ever said that Pilates is easy...we'll just leave this one right here. Pike to Plank is a big challenge for torso stability and hip flexibility, working primarily from the hip joint. The fancy term for this is hip dissociation which is what allows your hips to move without your back jumping in to compensate. As you push out against a low to moderate level of weight from the springs, you work the shoulders, glutes and hamstrings. As you move back to a plan...k, the low to moderate weight means you have to work your deep hip flexors and your core to pull the carriage back in. Enjoy * * * * * #calgarypilates #yyc #yycfitness #yycfit #calgarylife #4thstyyc #downtowncalgary #yycliving #yyclife #yycwellness #yycbuzz #calgaryism #calgaryfitness #pilates #pilatesyyc #yyclocal #fitnessforlife #stottpilates #yychealth #yycnow #pilatesbody #fitnesslife #pilatesreformer #merrithew #pilateslovers #fitlife #fitspiration #workoutdone #noexcuses #selfcare See more

Day 3 for cyclists and spinners! While we're trying to not be distracted by his rippling calf muscles, seriously impressive - we want to talk about hamstring and quad strength. You need BOTH to get the most out of the push and pull of your pedal stroke. Using a spring-loaded machine like the Reformer and performing an exercise like the one pictured here allows you to push against resistance with your hamstrings and glutes and return against resistance with your quads. Thi...s exercise can be made even more challenging by adding more resistance or hovering the knees above the carriage. Suddenly, your legs are burning and you're incorporating the arms, shoulders and upper back in the exercise. We love that Pilates can often strengthen multiple different muscle groups at once. Plus, how do you think he got calves like that!?
