Studio Seven Pilates

We know, around the world, movement classes have a reputation for being out of reach financially. We’ve never been okay with that.👀

So…. SSP Core Crew Program is continuing!✨😎☀️

We’re continuing to put action behind our values. It’s accessibility into practice… making sure nothing stands between you and joining our Studio Seven Community. 🫶

Applications are reopening now for our next round, running September through December! Here’s how it works:
✨ 1 hour cleaning bi-weekly (2-3 hours/month)
✨ 3-month commitment: September to December
✨ Each shift = 1 free drop-in class

What do you do during your shift? Tasks include dusting and deep cleaning the equipment and studio space… the reformers, towers, mirrors, floors, all of it. 🧼🤍😎

Students, newcomers, anyone who’s ever wanted to be here but felt it wasn’t fully accessible financially,
this one’s for you.🌿 Industry partners, movement educators and instructors please share this with your friends and clients!✨🙏🏼🌻

Applications are open now. Link in bio.😎

✨We can’t wait to meet the newest member of the SSP CORE CREW.✨🫶

This one surprises people every time 👀

‼️Pilates can measurably lower blood sugar levels!‼️

A 2025 randomized controlled trial of 104 older adults with type 2 diabetes found 12 weeks of Pilates (just 2x/week) led to:
✔️ Statistically significant drops in blood glucose
✔️ Real gains in strength, balance & mobility

It’s not a fluke. A separate meta-analysis pooling multiple trials found Pilates significantly improved:
✔️ Fasting blood glucose
✔️ Post-meal blood glucose
✔️ HbA1c
✔️ Cholesterol markers

As always, Pilates at Studio Seven isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about what’s happening at a cellular level (blood glucose, cholesterol, cardiovascular load) every time you’re practicing Pilates.

Pilates isn’t a replacement for medication or your care team. But the research is clear: it’s a legitimate, evidence-based tool to support metabolic health.

✨This is what we mean when we say Pilates is healthcare, not self-care (when done right).✨🥳🌻

PCOS has a new name: PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) 👀

What hasn’t changed? How much Pilates movement helps.

PCOS/PMOS isn’t one-size-fits-all — it shows up differently from person to person, and Pilates supports that. Some threads that show up in a large share of cases:
🔸 Insulin resistance
🔸 Irregular cycles
🔸 Elevated androgens
🔸 Long-term heart & metabolic risk
However it shows up for you, Pilates meets your body where it’s at — supporting movement, hormones, and metabolic health together, not chasing one single symptom with a bandaid reaction.

Slide through to see what the research says 📚

This is what we mean when we say Pilates is healthcare, not self-care. For someone managing PMOS, showing up isn’t a fitness goal. It’s part of managing a real hormonal and metabolic condition — alongside your care team, not instead of it.

💬 Had you heard PCOS was renamed? Tell us below.

Pilates gets filed under “self-care” a lot but the research doesn’t agree and neither do we. Pilates, done right, is healthcare! It’s an investment in your mental (and physical) health😎

A 2025 study found that people who practice Pilates regularly show significantly lower anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms than non Pilates active people and a broader meta-analysis found depressive symptoms dropped by up to 81% and anxiety by up to 46% across studies of Pilates practitioners.

Here’s the part we love: it’s not magic, it’s the intentionality and intelligent movement of Pilates. Controlled breathing + focused, precise movement + present-moment awareness = the same core ingredients used in clinical mindfulness therapy. You’re not just moving your body in class, you’re training your nervous system! And we love that🥹🫶✨

This is what we mean when we say Pilates is healthcare, not self-care (when done right). It’s not an indulgence. It’s a legitimate, evidence-backed tool for managing your mental health… and it works best with real instruction and a consistent practice, not a solo YouTube session once a month. That’s where SSP comes in! With our biggest most expanded schedule yet, there has never been a better time to move with us. We truly believe we have a class for everyone! If you’re interested but don’t know where to start, send us a DM or email… we are always here to help 📧🤍✨

💬 Which do you notice more after class: a calmer mind or a calmer body? Tell us below.👇🏼

📌 Save this for the next time someone asks “isn’t Pilates just stretching?”
