Winter in Edmonton can be long, cold, and often leaves us stuck indoors. Between chilly weather, shorter days, and cozy indoor living — it’s easy to get out of routine and skip workouts. But believe it or not, winter is one of the best seasons to commit to Reformer Pilates. At Forum Pilates, we think this is the ideal time to begin (or re‑start) your practice. Here’s why.
1. Indoor Comfort — Out of the Cold, Into Strength & Warmth
When it’s freezing outside, heading to a warm, welcoming Pilates studio to stretch, strengthen, and move is one of the most appealing ways to stay active. Reformer Pilates offers a full-body workout without needing to brave the winter weather, no icy roads, no heavy snow gear, no frozen muscles. It’s a safer, more comfortable, and more effective way to stay fit all winter long.
2. New Routines for the New Year — Starting Fresh
Winter tends to bring thoughts about new beginnings. A new year often means new goals, new habits, and a chance to reset. Beginning a Reformer Pilates routine now can set the tone for a healthier, stronger year ahead. It’s a great way to commit to regular movement, personal health, and lasting results.
3. Build Strength & Mobility — A Winter Investment
Colder months can be tough on joints, circulation, and mobility, especially if you’re less active. Reformer Pilates helps you maintain and build strength, improve flexibility, and support joint health. It helps counteract the stiffness and sluggishness that often come with long winters, giving your body what it needs to stay supple and strong until spring.
4. Manage Stress and Mood During Dark Days
Shorter, darker days and cold weather can take a toll on mood and energy levels. Reformer Pilates doesn’t just help your body, it also benefits your mind. The focused movement, deep breathing, and mindful flow of Pilates can help reduce stress, improve posture, and boost mood, which can be especially helpful during the long winter months.
5. Consistency Can Build Healthy Habits Before Busy Seasons
Winter is often quieter than summer, fewer outdoor distractions, less busy social calendars, which offers a perfect window to build a consistent exercise habit. Starting Reformer Pilates now gives you a chance to establish a routine, learn proper form, and build strength. By spring or summer, you’ll already be ahead of the game.
6. Improve Posture & Core Stability for Everyday Life
Whether you’re working from home, shovelling snow, or simply lounging indoors, strong core and posture support many daily activities. Reformer Pilates focuses heavily on core strength, stability, balance and posture. Starting in winter ensures you’re prepared. strong, stable and better-aligned, for whatever daily tasks or seasonal chores come your way.
