Pilates vs strength training: or both?

In Mallorca, many clients use Pilates for movement quality and strength training for load-specific goals.

Pilates sessions weekly for control and recovery

Strength sessions weekly for overload

For beginners, starting with Pilates can reduce movement errors before heavy lifting. For athletes, combining both often improves durability and technique under fatigue.

Suggested weekly split

Mon: Reformer fundamentals
Wed: Strength training (full body)
Fri: Reformer mobility + core
Sat: Optional gym session
