Pilates FAQ

A typical Pilates workout in our Alexandria, VA studio focuses on building core strength, improving flexibility, and increasing overall body control and balance. You’ll perform exercises on our specialized, proprietary reformer. Pilates uses controlled, precise movements that engage deep postural muscles.

The workout begins with a warm-up that includes breathing exercises and gentle stretches. Then, you’ll complete a series of intense exercises that target the abdominal, back, and hip muscles. Each session includes blocks focusing on the legs, arms, and glutes. For the final bit of class, you’ll finish with cool-down exercises and stretching to improve flexibility and relax the body.

It’s possible to reduce belly fat through Pilates, in conjunction with smart nutrition and movement. We focus on building core strength and improving body balance and control. The core exercises in Pilates engage the deep abdominal muscles, which can tone your stomach and give the appearance of a flatter belly.

Because Pilates emphasizes proper posture and alignment, it can also improve how you use your abdominal muscles. This makes your core stronger and more effective at burning fat.

Remember that Pilates alone isn’t a weight loss program. Instead, combine it with a healthy diet and regular cardiovascular activity to get optimal results.

The amount of time it takes to see results from Pilates can vary per person. Factors like the frequency and intensity of your workouts, your overall health and fitness, and your starting fitness level can affect when you see results. Some people notice results in as little as a few weeks. Others may need several months of consistent Pilates before seeing changes.

We recommend attending pilates classes at least twice a week. This will help build muscle, improve posture and flexibility, and burn calories. In addition, you’ll show improvement in your body tone and the number on the scale.

Incorporating Pilates into a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and other exercises, can enhance the benefits and accelerate results.

Pilates can be beneficial for toning and strengthening the muscles under your skin. This gives the appearance of tighter and firmer skin. Core exercises in Pilates, such as the Plank, the Hundred, and the Roll-Up, target the deep abdominal and glute muscles.

While Pilates may help tone and firm certain parts of your body, the practice alone may not be enough to tighten loose skin significantly. Your skin’s elasticity depends on many factors like age and genetics.

For all classes at sculp’d+ in Old Town Alexandria, we encourage you to wear comfortable and form-fitting clothing. Loose-fitting clothing can make it difficult for the instructor to see your form and make adjustments as needed. 

It’s best to wear clothing that allows for a full range of motion and won’t restrict your movements. Usually, people wear form-fitting athletic attire like leggings, yoga pants, tank tops, or fitted shirts that stay tucked in during exercises. All in-class guests are required to wear grippy socks – and have a super cute collection in our clothing boutique!

Sculp'd+ provides a 5 star experience in every possible way! They manage to make every class a beautiful blend of challenging and fun - which isn’t an easy feat. Every instructor has been top notch. I'd like to specifically thank Natalie for her help during my first session after my 10+ years gap since I had last attended a pilates class. Her guiding nature and overall encouragement helped me to easily become a believer in all of the magic that reformer pilates has to offer. I have also been lucky enough to attend classes with Jen, Lawren, Noelle, and Kelsey - who are amazing and inspirational teachers. Additionally, every person who I have met working the front desk has been warm, friendly and informative. An extra big thank you to Lauren, who always makes my day. I highly recommend Sculp'd+ to anyone looking for a Pilates studio - this is the place to go!

Finally, I've discovered a Pilates studio that truly resonates with my fitness journey and conveniently fits into my daily routine. Having been a former Division 1 track athlete and gymnast for a significant part of my life, the transition from intense workouts (running & weightlifting) to Pilates, hot yoga, and regular walks has been transformative. Pilates has opened up new dimensions, allowing me to engage muscles differently, focus on breathing techniques, and enhance both smaller muscle groups and flexibility. My journey here spans over a year, thanks to ClassPass, and it's been an incredible experience.The instructors here are great and help everyone reach their fitness goals. The atmosphere is serene, providing a perfect backdrop for an energizing workout. The studio's cleanliness also adds to the overall positive experience. One of the things I appreciate most is the thoughtful music selection during classes, creating a motivating and enjoyable environment.While the sessions consistently challenge me and encourage improvement, I do wish there were more advanced level options available. Nevertheless, the instructors are receptive to feedback, always offering ways to intensify the workouts. This consistent push has significantly elevated my practice.This studio has undeniably become my fitness sanctuary, a space I've recommended to close friends. It's not just a place to exercise; it's where you revitalize both mind and body, making it an integral part of my well-being journey.Having explored various studios in DC, nothing compares to a small, women-owned business with the added perk of free parking!They also offer additional services such as facials and massages that I'm excited to try out in the upcoming year! Truly a convenient one-stop shop.

I've officially been a member for a year now after never having taken a Pilates class prior to joining. I'm not a person who loves working out, so I really appreciate that the class always seems to fly by. I absolutely love all of the instructors, but I personally blame Lisa for growing my butt so much that I had to get an entire new set of jeans!!
