Question 1

What is Pilates and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that focuses on controlled movement, core strength, flexibility, and postural alignment. Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, it is suitable for all fitness levels — from complete beginners to athletes. At Node Pilates in Johor Bahru, our BASI-certified instructors provide modifications for every body so you can train safely and effectively.

Question 2

What is Reformer Pilates?

Accepted Answer

Reformer Pilates is performed on a specially designed machine called the Reformer — a moving carriage with springs, straps, and a footbar that provide adjustable resistance and support. It is more dynamic than Mat Pilates and enables a wider range of exercises targeting strength, flexibility, and rehabilitation. Group Reformer classes at Node Pilates in Johor Bahru start from RM 70 per session.

Question 3

Is Pilates suitable for beginners in Johor Bahru?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Pilates is one of the best exercises to start if you are new to fitness or returning after injury. Node Pilates recommends the New Joiner Starter Pack — 2 sessions (1 Group Mat Pilates + 1 Group Reformer) for RM 120 — so you can experience both formats and find what suits you best before committing to a bundle. No experience needed.

Question 4

How is Pilates different from yoga?

Accepted Answer

While both emphasise mindful movement and breathwork, Pilates focuses on building deep core strength, joint stability, and muscular endurance through precise, repetitive movements. Yoga tends to emphasise spiritual practice, flexibility, and static poses. Many people find Pilates more structured and rehabilitation-oriented — making it particularly effective for injury recovery and postural correction.

Question 5

Can Pilates help with back pain or scoliosis?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Pilates is one of the most clinically recommended exercises for managing back pain and scoliosis. Node Pilates in Johor Bahru offers a dedicated Scoliosis Pilates programme taught by BASI-certified instructors, using targeted exercises to improve spinal alignment, strengthen supporting muscles, and reduce discomfort. Contact us via WhatsApp at +60 11-5447 4795 for a personalised consultation before your first class.

Question 6

Is Pilates safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Prenatal Pilates is highly beneficial when practised with a qualified instructor. At Node Pilates in Johor Bahru, our Prenatal Pilates sessions are designed specifically for expectant mothers, using the Reformer, Tower, and Chair in a small-group format (1:4 ratio) for individual attention. Two trial sessions are available for RM 140. We recommend consulting your doctor before starting any new exercise programme during pregnancy.

Question 7

What is BASI Pilates and why does it matter?

Question 8

How many times a week should I do Pilates?

Question 9

What should I wear and bring to a Pilates class?
