By age 40, your clients can lose up to 8% of muscle mass per decade—unless they take action. Pilates builds incredible control and awareness. But adding resistance and load is key to long-term strength, metabolism, and functional independence—especially for clients over 50.
This practical, science-based workshop teaches you how to safely integrate weights into your Pilates practice to help clients build strength, bone, and confidence.
💡 You’ll Learn:
The science of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss)
Why muscle mass is critical for longevity, balance, and metabolic health
How to apply progressive overload principles in a Pilates context
How to choose and cue weights, reps, tempo, and progressions
How to design classes that target muscle maintenance and growth, especially for 40+ clients
