My Core Studios

Your grip strength isn’t just about your wrists.

And that’s where many women get it wrong.

When hormonal changes affect strength, coordination, recovery, and tissue quality, doing endless wrist exercises is like trying to fix a flickering light bulb by changing the lampshade.

The body doesn’t work in isolation.

Your grip is connected to your shoulders.
Your shoulders are connected to your ribcage.
Your ribcage is connected to your core.
Your core is connected to the way you create force through your entire body.

This is why Pilates can be so powerful.

Instead of chasing symptoms, it helps you build strength, control, stability, and coordination throughout the whole system.

Because sometimes the answer isn’t a stronger wrist.

It’s a stronger connection between the rest of you.

Ladies, have you ever noticed your grip strength changes depending on the week of the month?

Still wondering if you need to add pilates into your training routine?

Your glutes are more than a muscle that looks good.

They help stabilize your pelvis, support your lower back, and create force where it should come from.

When your glutes aren’t doing their job, something else usually picks up the slack.

Activate first. Strengthen second.

Your knees, hips, and back will thank you.

Or have they?!?

Never have I ever , Pilates Instructor edition!

Can you tell?

Think your core is strong? Let’s find out. 😉

Athletic Core Class isn’t your typical Pilates class.

This intermediate-level class is designed to challenge your core beyond the basics—through more dynamic movements, greater coordination, stronger control, and full-body integration.

Expect to shake.
Expect to concentrate.
Expect your core to work harder than you thought it could.

Because a strong core isn’t just about abs…
It’s about creating a body that moves with more power, control, and confidence.

If you know , you know!

We all have our personal favorites and those are Rima Faour 's ! 😅

Pilates is often not only measured in the session but extends into everyday life !

Stretching helps you access a range.

Mobility helps you control it.

You can touch your toes and still struggle to squat, rotate, or move well.

Flexibility is having the range.
Mobility is owning the range.

One is passive.
The other is strength, control, and confidence in motion.

That’s the difference.

Every single time we run a men’s intro class, we hear the same things:

“Pilates is just stretching.”

“The weights are too light.”

“I already train my abs.”

Then the class starts.

Suddenly the guy who deadlifts 200kg is shaking in a plank.

The golfer who trains 5 days a week discovers he can’t control his pelvis.

The runner realizes one leg is doing all the work.

And the “easy little springs” humble everyone.

Pilates was never designed to compete with your gym training.

It reveals what your gym training might be missing.

✅ Control before power

✅ Stability before force

✅ Mobility you can actually use

✅ Strength through full ranges of motion

The goal isn’t to leave class exhausted.

The goal is to leave class moving better.

We hear it all the time from men, and we’re not exaggerating when we demonstrate it.

The strongest muscles in the room aren’t always the ones lifting the heaviest weight.

They’re often the ones controlling movement with precision.
