How often should I participate in Pilates Reformer activities?
It is recommended that you partake in 3-4 Pilates Reformer workouts per week, or roughly one every other day. You can take anywhere between 1 and 5 classes per week and still see results. Though just like anything else in life, the more effort you apply, the more results you’ll achieve.
