Can Pilates Help With Weight Loss? The Truth About Pilates & Fat Burn

Pilates is often known for its ability to build core strength, improve posture, and enhance flexibility. But can it actually help with weight loss? While Pilates may not burn as many calories as high-intensity workouts, it offers long-term metabolic benefits and sustainable body composition changes.

Pilates helps build lean muscle, which increases your resting metabolic rate (RMR), allowing your body to burn more calories even at rest. Additionally, it improves core strength and posture, making your workouts more efficient. Pilates also reduces stress and regulates cortisol, preventing stress-related weight gain and boosting fat-burning capabilities.

The best way to incorporate Pilates into your weight loss plan? Combine strength-based Pilates sessions with cardio and balanced nutrition for maximum fat-burning results.

Pilates for Hypermobility: Creating Strength, Control & Stability

If you’re hypermobile—or working with hypermobile clients—movement can be a double-edged sword. While increased flexibility might seem like a superpower, it often comes at the cost of joint stability, muscle fatigue, and injury risk. That’s where clinical, physio-led Pilates shines.

What is Hypermobility?
Hypermobility means your joints move beyond the normal range of motion. While some people are born with this trait (thanks, genetics!), it can lead to instability, chronic pain, and a higher risk of dislocations or sprains—especially if not managed correctly.
