From Celeb Trend to Cost-Saving: Pilates Studios Making Waves in Wellness

Bailey Brown, a Pilates powerhouse from the land down under, summed up the Pilates craze perfectly in a viral TikTok: "Pilates is more than just exercise, it's a vibe! Fit chicks do Pilates. Pilates babes are on fire."¹

Brown's video has racked up millions of views and sparked countless remixes on TikTok.¹

The hype around this trending workout is massive, even winning over celebs and making waves on the red carpet at the Met Gala.¹

But what's the big deal about Pilates?¹

Born from the genius of German legend Joseph Pilates in the 1920s, Pilates focuses on gentle movements that refine posture and build strength, with a healthy dose of flexibility. Whether on a mat or using fancy gear, it's a winner for beginners and those on the mend alike.

Celebrities are all about it. Back in 2016, stars like Jennifer Hawkins, Miranda Kerr, and Jesinta Campbell were singing Pilates' praises.²

Here's how the A-listers stay hooked on Pilates:³

Nicole Kidman:

• She's all about that cardio buzz, hitting the tracks and making waves.
• Yoga's her zen, sculpting those arms, buns, and legs.
• Plus, she swears by 55-minute Pilates sessions for that strong core and flexi moves.
• Beach runs? Definitely her thing.

Margot Robbie:

• A gym fanatic, she grinds it out daily with her PT, David Higgins, rocking the weights and Pilates gear.
• Starting with a five-minute roll and rock warm-up, then it's a 500-ab blitz in one sweat session.
• Weekdays are a mix of weights, cardio, and even ballet or Pilates sessions.

But don't sweat it! Pilates isn't just for the stars and splurges. Sure, it might cost around $35 a session, or $120 for private coaching. But some joints keep it cosy with just 15 folks, delivering top-notch tips and big gains in a tight 50 minutes — an investment in your health and strength.
