What Is Fitness Pilates?

Fitness Pilates is a modern, group exercise approach to Pilates, created by Rachel Holmes and taught to music in a friendly, accessible and effective class format.

It combines the key principles of Pilates with a more fitness-focused structure, making it ideal for community classes, health clubs, online sessions and specialist fitness programmes.

Fitness Pilates has become one of the most popular and versatile class formats for fitness professionals who want to offer Pilates-inspired sessions with confidence, creativity and strong class structure.

What Makes Fitness Pilates Different?

Traditional Pilates is often associated with the original mat-based repertoire and a strong focus on control, posture, breathing, alignment and core strength.

Fitness Pilates takes those core principles and brings them into a modern group exercise setting.

Classes are taught to music and are designed to be accessible, progressive and enjoyable for a wide range of participants. This makes Fitness Pilates a fantastic addition to a fitness timetable, especially for instructors who already teach group exercise, fitness classes, conditioning, mobility, strength or wellbeing sessions.

Fitness Pilates is practical, adaptable and highly usable in real class environments.

What Does a Fitness Pilates Class Include?

Fitness Pilates classes can include:

Warm up
Mobility
Active and passive flexibility
Standing and functional exercises
Mat-based Pilates
Stretch and relaxation

This structure allows instructors to create balanced, effective and engaging classes that support posture, movement, core strength, flexibility, mobility and overall wellbeing.

It also gives teachers the freedom to be creative while still staying true to the key principles of Pilates-inspired movement.

Who Is Fitness Pilates For?

Fitness Pilates is ideal for fitness professionals who want to expand their timetable, offer a popular mind-body class and bring a modern Pilates-inspired programme to their community.

It works beautifully for:

Community classes
Health clubs
Online fitness platforms
Small group sessions
Corporate wellbeing
Wellness programmes
Specialist populations
Fitness events and workshops

Because the format is so adaptable, instructors can modify and progress exercises to suit different groups, abilities and class goals.
