Do you really need an unlimited membership?

It’s a fair question - do you actually need to come to Pilates every single day to see results? Or is a couple of classes a week enough?

Here’s the truth: results don’t come from pushing your body 7 days a week. They come from the right mix of consistency, challenge, and recovery.


1–2 Classes Per Week: Feel-Good Maintenance

If Pilates is your side hustle (aka not your main workout), 1–2 classes a week will still give you plenty of bang for your buck. You’ll build awareness of your core, improve mobility, and start noticing those subtle shifts in posture and alignment. It’s also the perfect frequency if you’re just starting out or easing back into movement after a break - enough to feel good, without overwhelming your schedule.

Think: less back pain, more energy, and the joy of actually being able to touch your toes again.


3-4 Classes Per Week: The Sweet Spot

This is the frequency most exercise physiologists and Pilates instructors agree on as the “game-changer.” At 3-4 sessions per week, your muscles are challenged consistently enough to adapt and get stronger, but you still have rest days for recovery.

Expect to feel your core switch on more naturally, notice glutes and arms getting stronger, and see your endurance build so you can push further in class (and in life). 3-4 classes a week is often where clients tell us: “I finally feel the difference.”


4+ Classes Per Week: Fast-Track Your Progress

If you’re ready for a big shift - whether that’s strength, tone, or simply feeling like the strongest version of yourself - 4 or more classes a week will accelerate your results. The bonus of an unlimited membership is flexibility: you can hit those challenging Reformer sessions, then balance them out with a slower stretch in Release & Restore or a mindful reset in Sound Healing.

Your body thrives on variety. Our Unlimited Class Plans lets you play with intensity (some days heavy springs, some days restorative movement) so you keep progressing without burning out.


Don’t Forget Recovery

Here’s the science-y bit: Reformer Pilates is a form of strength training. Every time you work against the springs, you’re creating tiny micro-tears in your muscles (don’t panic - this is how strength happens). Those muscles need time to repair and rebuild, and that’s when the real gains happen. Skipping recovery can lead to fatigue, plateaued results, or even injury.

So yes, you can come every day with an unlimited membership - but the key is to alternate intensity, mix up your classes, and listen to your body. Recovery is part of the progress, not a step back.

That’s why we also offer slower, restorative options alongside our signature Reformer Classes. Our Release & Restore class gives you that delicious stretch and mobility work your muscles crave, while Sound Healing resets your nervous system so your body can truly recover. Pairing these with your stronger sessions means you’ll not only get fitter faster, but also feel calmer, sleep better, and avoid burnout.


The Takeaway

  • 1–2 classes/week = maintenance & feel-good movement

  • 3-4 classes/week = real strength & noticeable change

  • 4+ classes/week = transformation & faster results (with variety + recovery baked in)

So, do you need an unlimited membership? That really depends on your goals. If you want the freedom to train as often as you like, mix spicy Reformer sessions with restorative classes like Release & Restore and Sound Healing, and create a well-rounded weekly routine - our Unlimited Class Plan is your best match.

If you prefer more structure and consistency, our Subscribe & Save plans give you the right number of classes each week (with built-in savings) so you can still see amazing results without thinking twice about credits.

Whichever path you choose, the real key is consistency - and we’ll meet you there.
