Pilates Core Power

Pilates Core Power is a targeted workout for your core. A strong core is the foundation of a healthy, upright body – which is why you train your abdominal muscles, obliques and lower back here with precise, effective exercises. Through conscious movement and controlled breathing, you develop a deep sense of your centre – a strength that supports you in everyday life and in every other sport.

The focus is on the straight and oblique abdominal muscles and the lower back – the muscles that stabilise your trunk. The controlled Pilates exercises also reach the deep muscles, which are particularly important for posture and stability.

Partly – but not only. A toned midsection is a nice side effect, but the real goal goes further: better posture, more stability in everyday life and a strong core that takes the strain off your back. After class you'll leave feeling stronger, more upright and balanced.

Strong core muscles stabilise the spine and can be an effective way to prevent back pain – which is exactly what Core Power aims for. If you already have complaints, please let your trainer know before class so she can adapt the exercises. If you have acute pain or a medical diagnosis, please consult your doctor beforehand.

Yes. The exercises are precisely guided, and you set your own pace and intensity. Our trainers pay attention to clean execution and show you easier or more challenging variations – so you train safely at your level and progress step by step.

Both classes strengthen your core, but with different emphases. Core Power trains your abs, obliques and lower back in a targeted, powerful way. Pilates Strong Back & Core focuses more on the spine and the deep core muscles, combines intensive stabilisation with soothing mobilisation and releases tension in the shoulders and neck – ideal if you sit a lot. For your lower body, Pilates Legs & Glutes is a great complement; for a well-rounded full-body workout, try Pilates Full Body Flow.

Please bring a towel – it's mandatory for hygiene reasons. If you forget yours, you can rent one at the studio for €2. Wear comfortable clothing that lets you move freely, and bring something to drink (no glass bottles). We train in non-slip socks (Pilates or grip socks). We provide mats and all other equipment at the studio.

Core Power includes intensive abdominal training. During pregnancy, we therefore recommend our Prenatal Pilates class. After birth, it's best to start with Postnatal Pilates, which we offer as a fixed course block, or with Pilates Mum & Baby before returning to intensive core training. Feel free to get in touch, we're happy to advise you.
