Weight loss cannot be achieved overnight, as such, one session of Reformer or trapeze Pilates might not show drastic results.

Although the machine’s main purpose is not weight loss, it is a very good workout which gets your body moving.

Which is better, gym or Pilates?

Both gym and Pilates work on your strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and breathing, all in one session. Pilates may be more ideal for beginners or people who lack exercise knowledge.
