What do I wear to pilates?

The most common question we get from clients just before their first session is “what do I wear?” More often than not we answer something along these lines: “wear something light and comfortable that you’ll be able to move freely and easily in (and regardless of gender, loose shorts are not a great idea!).”  Then, without fail, we follow with: “if you want to invest in appropriate clothing, we always strongly suggest, rave and gush over Abi and Joseph.” Those clients who have been with us for a while will notice that I’m (Gin) hardly ever not wearing my bateau top which is currently on sale and I don’t mind if we’re matching. Christie luuuurrrrvvvves the slim fit pilates pants and most of Abi and Joseph’s pants come in regular, shorter and longer lengths. I have the camisole in both black and white and both get worn as often out of the studio as in. My luxury item that makes me feel absolutely fabulous is my midnight blue merino luxury wrap which is not currently stocked however, Abi and Joseph kicks butt in the ballet wrap area and have a myriad of lovely, styles, colours and fabrics. I hope to invest or even win(!) a few more items, especially the geometry top which looks incredibly flattering. I definitely need some new pants but I’m not the slim fit kind of gal so I’ll be going for relaxed fit pant for shorties. Short of sounding like a walking advert for Abi and Joseph (which I truly don’t mind being), you cannot beat the non-slip socks as the perfect pressie for your favourite pilates pal (as some of my clients found out this Christmas). And finally, for those clients who have been looking for an awesome matwork book to travel with or use at home, you can’t beat the matwork book by the gorgeous Sally Anderson (who is currently training a group Hobart gals for their mat certification) available at Abi and Joseph. I could keep going, truly I could. But I do believe you’ve read enough. If you’d like to know more, check out the website or ask me for one of Abi and Joseph’s beautiful brochures. See you in the studio – I’ll be in Abi and Joseph!
