The Best Online Pilates Classes To Try Now

Sam Deville Pilates

After a difficult pregnancy that left her with severe diastasis recti (abdominal separation), Sam Deville turned to Pilates to rehab her body. The transformation was incredible – she healed herself, avoided surgery and set out to become an instructor herself. Since then, Sam has established her very own style of Pilates, known as the SDP method, which you can tune into from home via her brand-new online platform. The aim is to bring the burn of reformer Pilates to the mat in a supercharged workout designed to build strength. There are over 280 workouts to choose from, which you can filter by intensity levels and equipment, plus a suggested weekday schedule and monthly challenges set by Sam.
