Pilates is adaptable to all levels. Many beginner-friendly classes and exercises are available. Instructors can modify routines to suit your experience and fitness level, making it accessible for newcomers and challenging for advanced athletes.
The frequency of Pilates sessions can vary, but consistency is key. For noticeable improvements, aim for 2-3 sessions per week. You may begin feeling better within a few weeks, but substantial long-term changes often occur with dedicated practice.
