So, you've booked your Pilates class at Village Gym Aberdeen. What to wear?
Pilates is about fluid, smooth movements, so you'll likely want to wear something that allows your body stretch and move freely.
We've put together a few tips on the perfect workout wardrobe to ensure you hit our Aberdeen pilates studio dressed for success.
Pilates was invented by German carpenter and gymnast, Joseph Pilates. He wanted to help injured dancers and soldiers maintain their fitness levels, without risking further injury.
Joseph Pilates believed that physical and mental health were well connected. Something we live and breathe here at Village Gym Aberdeen!
In the 1920's he opened a Pilates studio in New York. It's since become a staple fitness class in studios across the world!
Our pilates class at Village Gym Aberdeen is designed for members who want to transform the way their body looks, feels and how easily it moves.
Attending regular pilates classes can help to improve your body's strength and tone. Over time, you'll notice firmer thighs, tighter glutes and a flatter stomach.

The principles of Pilates cover six key areas...
Pilates was originally called ‘Contrology’ , because controlled movements are crucial to maintaining proper pilates form. To ensure optimum body control, you'll need to really think about how your body moves.
Full concentration on your movements will ensure you get the very best of out your pilates class at Village Gym Aberdeen. We'll focus on which muscles you're using and how they work to complete each move. We'll perfect each move as we go.
The Powerhouse is essentially, your core muscles - the abs, lower back, pelvic floor, glutes and hip muscles. Your pilates movements will all begin with these core areas.
Whilst breathing tends to come pretty naturally, breathing properly takes some concentration. We'll assess and improve your breathing technique during your pilates class, leaving you more relaxed, less stressed and with bags more energy.
Every pilates motion should be done with precision. By aligning your body in the correct way, you'll be able to move much more smoothly and maintain your balance.
Each Pilates move should be fluid and graceful. One move should flow straight into the next. Find your flow, so that you're almost gliding, and your body is constantly in motion.
You'll get a lot more from your pilates class at Village Gym Aberdeen than just a fun workout! Our pilates class offers a number of great benefits too...
Pilates is a great option for strengthening the upper arms, tightening your glutes and toning up any wobbly bits!
Elongate Leg Muscles
There's a reason many models and dancers love pilates. The strength training aspect elongates your muscles, giving your legs a leaner, more slender look.
Got Your Back
Lower-back pain is often caused by weak stomach muscles and bad posture. Our pilates class will work the core, and improve posture which in turn will help to relieve back pain.
Stress Relief
Regular pilates can help to decrease stress and conditions such as insomnia and anxiety.
Improve Focus
