My Transformation Story: What Pilates Did for Me
After giving birth to twins, I had a 10cm abdominal separation (diastasis recti) and over 20kg to lose. I didn’t want to go to a gym or rely on high-impact workouts. Pilates reformer training — first with the Eco and later the Queen — changed everything. I rebuilt my core, regained strength, and completely transformed my body... from home.
