Pilates Fitness introduces a structured, science-informed fitness and recovery system that is tailored for adults over 40
SINGAPORE, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With Singapore’s population ageing rapidly, more adults in their 40s and beyond grapple with reduced mobility, persistent fatigue, and chronic joint pain. A leading Pilates Singapore studio with over 15 years of providing Reformer Pilates classes, Pilates Fitness offers a new three-part training and recovery framework designed to help adults maintain strength, prevent injury, and extend functional independence well into later life.
“As we age, the ability to recover and maintain strength with mobility becomes more important than intensity or aesthetics,” said Candice Chin, founder of Pilates Fitness. “At Pilates Fitness, we’ve developed a system grounded in science to meet those needs, focusing on long-term health rather than short-term trends.”
A Science-Based, Systematic Approach to Active Ageing
Pilates Fitness’ method integrates three essential components:
1) Smart Class Design
Each Reformer Pilates class is structured to address specific goals. The studio offers three primary class types: Core Pilates for injury recovery and beginners, Flexi Stretch Pilates to improve joint mobility and ease muscle tightness, and Weight Loss Pilates for clients focused on fat management. This empowers adults over 40 to train with intention, adapting to their body’s evolving needs. Its science-backed approach effectively addresses menopause-related weight gain, chronic joint pain, age-related stiffness, and injury prevention.
2) Individualised Attention in Group Settings
Instructors deliver hands-on guidance to every participant to ensure correct muscle activation, even in small group classes of up to 10 people. Specialised adjustments are made for clients managing conditions like slipped discs, joint limitations, post-surgery recovery, or perimenopause. Chin says, “It’s the benefit of private instruction within a communal setting.”
3) Recovery as a Core Component
Recognising the importance of rest in overall health, the studio incorporates designated recovery days featuring BIXEPS Pro — a patented magnetic mitohormesis therapy developed by the National University of Singapore and ETH Zurich. Members use the BIXEPS Pro therapy on designated rest days to promote cellular regeneration, reduce inflammation, and support metabolic health by stimulating mitochondria, the body’s energy producer.
A recent article in The Straits Times highlighted the growing use of magnetic pulse therapy to support muscle strength and prevent frailty in older adults. Pilates Fitness is among the first fitness studios in Singapore to integrate the higher-intensity Pro version into client routines.
Results Rooted in Experience
Scientific studies on Reformer Pilates have shown its effectiveness in improving balance, muscle strength, and posture and reducing fall risk among older adults. Pilates Fitness’ approach aligns with this evidence and with client feedback.
Jocelyn Foo, 52, had considered surgery after years of chronic knee pain. “After joining Pilates Fitness and incorporating BIXEPS Pro into my recovery, my pain began to ease. I feel stronger and have regained my confidence in daily movement,” she said.
The Pilates studio has worked with over 16,000 clients since 2010, with more than 65% attending weekly sessions for over five years. Many train alongside spouses, children, or parents, making Pilates Fitness a multigenerational wellness space.
Supporting Healthspan, Not Just Lifespan
Pilates Fitness focuses on helping clients stay active and independent as they age. “Our clients want to travel, care for their families, and stay mobile into their 80s and 90s,” said Chin. “That’s what we mean when we say healthspan — not just living longer but living better.”
Experience the Difference
Pilates Fitness is running a “Bring a Loved One for Free” promotion in June to encourage shared wellness among families and friends.
