The fitness trend in Jakarta is growing with the arrival of the athletic reformer pilates innovation. In contrast to the conventional view that often regards pilates as a calm and therapeutic type of exercise, this concept offers an experience that is more challenging, dynamic, and energetic.
Anna Michau, CEO of LUXEFIT and Master Franchisor of VAURA Pilates, explained that this class is designed to increase participants' physical strength and endurance. The studio atmosphere is also adjusted with colorful lighting like a nightclub, accompanied by fast-paced music aimed at boosting the heart rate and energy of its participants.
The 50-minute workout session is systematically structured by professional instructors. The first 15 minutes are allocated for warming up, followed by a 30-minute core session focusing on full-body muscle strength, and closed with a five-minute cool-down. The use of additional weights, such as dumbbells, on the reformer machine is the main differentiator in this workout, ensuring that each movement has a maximum impact on body metabolism.
Participant safety is a top priority, with instructors certified in AED and CPR. In addition, the management provides a dedicated, globally connected app, allowing every member to experience a consistent workout at various VAURA branches worldwide.
On the other hand, experts emphasize that optimal results from high-intensity workouts must be paired with other healthy lifestyle choices. Marifit researcher, Ahmed Hassan, revealed the importance of daily nutritional balance, including the consumption of natural superfoods like moringa leaf extract and bidara (jujube) leaves to support metabolic function and provide sustainable protection for the body against free radicals.
