Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on strength, control, mobility, posture, breathing, and body awareness. It helps improve movement quality, core strength, flexibility, and overall physical function while being suitable for a wide range of fitness levels.
What type of Pilates do you offer?
At The Training Ground, we offer Mat Pilates classes using bodyweight and small equipment such as resistance bands, Pilates rings, stability balls, and light dumbbells. Our classes are designed to improve strength, mobility, posture, and capacity for everyday life.
Do I need experience to join a Pilates class?
No. Our Pilates classes are beginner-friendly and suitable for all fitness levels. Exercises can be modified to suit your current ability, whether you're completely new to exercise or have years of training experience.
What should I bring to Pilates?
Simply bring comfortable clothing you can move in and a water bottle. We provide the equipment required for the class. Most participants train barefoot or in grip socks if preferred.
Is Pilates good for beginners?
Yes. Pilates is one of the best forms of exercise for beginners because it focuses on learning movement patterns, improving body awareness, and developing foundational strength without high-impact movements.
Can Pilates help with back pain?
Many people find Pilates beneficial for improving core strength, posture, mobility, and movement control, which can contribute to reducing episodes of back discomfort. If you have a specific injury or medical condition, we recommend discussing it with your healthcare professional before starting any exercise program.
Can Pilates improve posture?
Yes. Pilates places a strong emphasis on body awareness, spinal positioning, mobility, and muscular balance. Many office workers find Pilates particularly helpful for counteracting the effects of long hours spent sitting at a desk.
Is Pilates good for office workers?
Absolutely. Pilates can help improve posture, mobility, flexibility, core strength, and movement quality, making it an excellent option for people who spend much of their day sitting. Many of our Brisbane CBD members use Pilates to complement their strength training and reduce stiffness from desk-based work.
Will Pilates help me build strength?
Yes. While Pilates is often associated with flexibility and core training, it can also develop significant strength, particularly through the trunk, hips, shoulders, and stabilising muscles. Our classes focus on building a stronger, more capable body rather than simply stretching.
Is Pilates good for weight loss?
Pilates can contribute to weight loss by increasing physical activity and helping build strength and muscle. However, weight loss is primarily influenced by overall energy balance, nutrition, and consistency. Pilates is often most effective when combined with other forms of exercise and healthy lifestyle habits.
What is the difference between Mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates?
Mat Pilates uses bodyweight and small equipment to challenge strength, control, and mobility. Reformer Pilates uses a specialised machine with springs and pulleys to provide resistance and assistance. Both can be effective, and many of the principles remain the same.
Do I need to be flexible to do Pilates?
No. Flexibility is not a requirement to start Pilates. In fact, many people join Pilates because they feel stiff and want to improve their mobility. Exercises can be adapted to suit your current range of movement.
How often should I do Pilates?
Most people benefit from attending Pilates one to three times per week. The ideal frequency depends on your goals, current activity levels, and whether Pilates is your primary form of exercise or complements other training.
Can Pilates help improve athletic performance?
Yes. Pilates can improve movement quality, body awareness, core strength, balance, mobility, and control, all of which can support performance in running, strength training, team sports, and other physical activities.
Is Pilates suitable for older adults?
Yes. Pilates can be adapted for a wide range of ages and abilities. Many older adults use Pilates to maintain strength, balance, mobility, coordination, and confidence in everyday movement.

With small class sizes, individual coaching, and a structured approach, our goal is to help you become stronger, move better, and stay active for years to come.
How long are your Pilates classes?
Our Mat Pilates classes run for 45 minutes, providing enough time to improve strength, mobility, posture, and movement quality while fitting into a busy workday.
