Joseph Pilates, the visionary behind the Pilates method, once said, “In 10 sessions, you will feel different, in 20 you’ll see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a new body.” These famous words capture the heart of what makes Pilates so transformative—both physically and mentally. Whether you’re just starting or a seasoned practitioner, Pilates has the power to reshape not just your body, but the way you feel about it. In this blog, I’m going to break down what Joseph Pilates meant by this quote, why Pilates truly changes the way you feel in your body, and how you can experience this transformation in my 30-Day Reset Challenge.
What Joseph Pilates Meant
10 sessions: Feeling Different
After just 10 sessions of Pilates, you start to feel different. What does that mean? In those first few workouts, you begin to connect with muscles you may not have been aware of before—especially your core. Pilates is all about activating your deep stabilizing muscles, improving posture, and increasing awareness of how your body moves. You start to feel more in control, more balanced, and stronger from within.
The early sessions are all about discovering this new relationship with your body. Whether you’re working to relieve tension or strengthen your core, you’ll start feeling the benefits of better posture and alignment very quickly.
20 sessions: Seeing the Difference
At around 20 sessions, the physical changes become noticeable. You start to see the difference in your muscle tone, particularly in your arms, legs, and core. Pilates lengthens and strengthens your muscles without adding bulk, giving you that lean, toned look. Your posture improves significantly, which not only makes you look taller and more confident but also helps with any lingering back or joint pain.
This stage is where others may start to notice your progress. Friends and family may comment on how great you look, but more importantly, you begin to feel stronger and more capable in your everyday movements.
30 sessions: A New Body
By the time you hit 30 sessions, you’ve undergone a full-body transformation. This "new body" is not just about appearance—although Pilates gives you a toned, sculpted look—it’s about how you feel. You move more freely, your body feels balanced, and you’ve built strength and flexibility that carries over into your daily life. Pilates works from the inside out, creating a strong foundation that supports everything you do, from lifting your kids to running a marathon or just feeling better when you wake up in the morning.
This new body is also a reflection of your mental transformation. Pilates emphasizes a mind-body connection, and by this point, you’ve likely developed better focus, reduced stress, and increased your ability to stay present during your workouts.
Why Pilates Changes the Way You Feel in Your Body
One of the most unique aspects of Pilates is its ability to make you feel more in tune with your body. Pilates exercises are controlled, intentional, and precise, which makes you more aware of how your muscles work together. Every movement is designed to improve your core strength, flexibility, and posture, which leads to a sense of empowerment and grace in your everyday life.
Pilates also encourages a mindful approach to movement. As you practice, you learn to focus on your breath, align your body correctly, and execute exercises with precision. This mind-body connection helps reduce stress, enhances your concentration, and brings a sense of calmness that extends beyond the workout.
