Why is Pilates So Expensive?

When it comes to Pilates, a question that occasionally arises is, "Why is Pilates so expensive?"

When it comes to Pilates, a question that occasionally arises is, "Why is Pilates so expensive?" With such a subjective question, our typical response is, compared to what?

At first glance, the price tag might seem as if it's expensive, however, it completely depends on what you're comparing it to, what you value, how you see the world, the list goes on.

Let's explore the question a little deeper by drawing some comparisons of the cost of Pilates to various everyday expenses and extravagant indulgences. By examining these comparisons, we'll shed light on the true value of investing in your health and well-being.

At TRS Pilates Ballarat , our basic level membership is $25 per week. With that in mind, consider the following everyday comparisons:

Your Daily Coffee Habit: One average $5 coffee per day equates to $35 per week. That’s already $10 per week more expensive than a TRS Reformer Pilates membership. If you buy 2 coffees per day, then that a small indulgence over the course of a year, amounts to more than the cost of an unlimited yearly Pilates membership. So, how many coffees per day do you buy?

Weekly Fuel for Your Car: Your weekly fuel expenses, seemingly routine, accumulate to surpass the cost of Pilates within a year.

Pet Ownership: Owning a pet, while rewarding, involves significant costs in food, health care, and supplies. The average annual cost of owning a pet, ranges between $900-$3000, which equates to between $18,000-$60,000 over the life of the pet. That makes Pilates a comparatively affordable investment.

A Mortgage: The average Australian mortgage is 600k. At an interest rate of 5% over 30 years, the total cost of a 600K home equates to approximately $1,077,838, roughly 829 times more than a Pilates membership.

Luxury Items: Lavish expenditures on designer goods and gadgets often exceed the annual cost of a Pilates membership, which can cause one to consider where their health priority sits.

Pilates Benefits With TRS Pilates Ballarat.

The benefits are endless.

It is well document that exercise reduces stress, prevents injuries, decreases the likelihood of illness, and improves overall health and well-being. More specifically, low impact exercise immeasurable benefits to one’s overall health.

The benefits of Pilates don’t just start and finish in a class. Undertaking regular Pilates classes re-trains your body on how to move and engage muscles as you go about your daily business, improving your daily health.

Pilates can be general, or it can be quite individually specific depending on what you would like to achieve. Many of our clients undertake Pilates for injury prevention and rehabilitation, as they work to lengthen and strengthen their muscles.

Regular Pilates engagement enhances flexibility along with muscular strength and endurance. Through the activation of prime mover groups along with smaller intrinsic muscles, joint stabilisation and balance is enhanced, reducing injuries and falls.

Pilates movements focus on core control and core stabilisation which assists in posture immobility and day-to-day functional movements. It's also a beautiful form of exercise that helps cultivate the mind body connection, body awareness and body control.

Between strengthening classes and stretch classes, it combines the best of both worlds. Anyone can attend classes as each exercise, or each class is modified or progressed in various ways to make it achievable for everyone. There are different forms of exercises and various techniques used. We assist clients with modifications for their specific needs.

Pilates wakes up your proprioceptive system so you're more body concious. Your body responds naturally to certain stimulus causing your body to feel more alive. You're able to accomplish more tasks with greater agility and greater responsiveness and just greater feeling so you really can put more into the task.

So of course, for sports or any other activity you are much more efficient and have more power. Pilates also causes you to feel more of those muscles you didn’t realise you had, allowing more control and emphasis on them.

The neuromuscular control learned in Pilates allows you to isolate muscles throughout the day. For example, sections of your abdominals, or glutes. Clients regularly report back to us that their rock-climbing ability or golf swing has improved, which is a fantastic endorsement for Pilates and an acknowledgement of increased body awareness, essentially leading to more complex movements.

"So you've heard Pilates is good for you"

But why Pilates? There are heaps of options out there promoting all different types of movement so why should you chose Pilates? Well, we’re strong believers that you should always pick something you enjoy doing but we reckon you’ll be as obsessed with Pilates as much as we are within less than 5 classes (we have our 5 class intro offer for $50 so you can give us a whirl). Some of the most popular benefits of Pilates include increased strength, flexibility and mobility – it’s long been documented that Pilates is one of the overall exercises for back pain (Eliks et al, 2019; Rubén Fernández-Rodríguez et al, 2022 and Sonmezer et al, 2021). Other studies have also shown a strong relationship between moderate movement (eg Pilates) and better overall mental health and sleeping patterns (Elbe et al, 2018 and Wang & Boros, 2019).

On the reformer, it’s just you – yes, we run our sessions as group classes but being on a reformer, you’re in complete control of your work out and we encourage you to swap out, add on, take off springs to suit your needs in that moment. Had a sh*itty day and need to offload some of that ‘energy’? Maybe you add another spring for those scooters…kids/dog/partner kept you awake all night and it’s a miracle you even crawled your way into class this morning? Maybe you take a lighter spring option for feet in straps because that second coffee still hasn’t kicked in and you’re wondering if you should’ve stayed in bed (but you know you ALWAYS feel better after class).

There is something about Pilates we find that allows you to turn inwards and really connect with your inner self – “How does it feel when I do this?” or “What if I try this instead?” or “The instructor wants me to do what? She’s off her tree…oh ok, that’s not so bad/ok, I know that feels now…maybe not…” These conversations you have with yourself (and there will be many!) are how you start to find out what your body and mind needs, wants and can do (especially when you think you can’t). We think you will be pleasantly surprised with what you discover about yourself. Pilates is also a great compliment to other types of movement. Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, someone that loves to throw around a bit of tin or just looking to change up your routine, Pilates is something that we can almost* guarantee you’ll reap benefits from (*only because we’re not actual scientists but we see and hear it every day from our clients how much Pilates has helped them run better, lift heavier and cycle further all with less aches and pains).

Our classes vary and feedback from our clients has proven this to be one of the things they love most about TRS. Each of our trainers are fully qualified Pilates instructors with a myriad of different training backgrounds and these themes and experiences inevitably become interwoven in the class plans and the way our trainers teach. Maybe you’ll enjoy all of the different training styles (stop it, you’re too kind) or maybe you’ll only identify with one or two trainers and the way the teach (and that is awesome, too).

Personally, we are most proud of our community – people like you. We get excited when we see your name in our class and every time you walk into class you know you are going to get to do cool stuff with other kickass humans. Exercise can be intimidating if you’re new to it or coming back after a break. Walking into a reformer studio for the first time and seeing something that looks like a kinky torture device can be intimidating, too. Don’t worry – our amazing instructors and incredible clients will support you. It’s not a race, you do you and once you start to get your head around it, we know you’ll become just as much of a Pilates nerd as we are.
