BODHI SUSPENSION PILATES

MAIREAD Even though I’ve done Pilates before and I’ve used TRX before, putting them together was pretty tricky and I felt like a beginner at both. The workout space is small and the instruction felt a bit rushed, which is unfortunate because each position requires focus on technique to get the most from the movements. And some movements are more difficult than they look. It’s interesting to find out what positions your body refuses at first, but with practice and focus, you can slowly train your muscles and hopefully not sweat as much! MARK This was my first Pilates class. The class is a mix of floor and standing exercises, working the core. Following the instructor was easy as the moves weren’t too tough. I think a second class would be easier as you would have mastered the techniques. The hardest part of the class were the core stretches – they challenged every muscle in my core.
