The Pilates Guide-Personalized Pilates Coaching

Example

Creating a 55-minute workout for a beginner focusing on core strength, including exercises like the Pelvic Curl and The Hundred, with modifications for lower back sensitivity.

Scenario

A new user provides their fitness level and goals. The Pilates Guide then curates a session starting with a gentle warm-up, progressing through core-strengthening exercises, and concluding with a cool-down, all while accommodating the user's back condition.

Example

Modifying exercises for a user with a shoulder injury, such as offering seated versions of arm exercises or recommending the use of props for support.

Scenario

An experienced Pilates practitioner with a recent shoulder injury seeks exercises that maintain fitness without aggravating the injury. The Pilates Guide suggests modified movements and the use of props like the Magic Circle to reduce shoulder strain.

Example

Providing class planning suggestions for instructors, including theme-based sessions or sequencing tips for mixed-level groups.

Scenario

A Pilates instructor planning a class for a diverse group receives recommendations on structuring the session to cater to varying skill levels, incorporating equipment like the Reformer for advanced students, while offering simpler mat exercises for beginners.
