Pilates barrel class & women-only gym in Ilsan: Primefit Pilates

Today Jini, who loves hunting down good restaurants, wants to introduce a women-only gym in Ilsan where you can also take Siksa-dong pilates PT sessions~ Jini loves eating, but she's also into working out haha

Where is it in Siksa-dong? What about parking?

Parking is available right in front of the building~ It's right next to Siksa-dong Happiness Center. It's a bit far from Jini's house so she couldn't come often, but she took a pilates class here three months ago too. She liked the class so much that she came back for more^^

Primefit Pilates in Ilsan has a women-only gym on the 2nd floor, and it seems like a lot of people who take pilates classes also use the gym

There's also a Naver Reservation review event, so check it out

Dieting works best with both diet and exercise

The PT instructor really has a great body~~ If you're planning to diet, you know you need to combine diet with exercise to lose weight nicely, right? Extreme calorie-cutting diets can lead to yo-yo effects~ You can't eat tiny portions forever~ Diet products seem to work the same way~ Stop taking them and you'll probably gain it right back?

Strength training becomes more important as you get older. Please exercise without overdoing it. Jini has been a workout person since her 20s. That's why she's slim even though she eats well~~ haha

Class booking and program times

On the first visit it was a barrel class, and you can easily book and cancel classes through an app called Studio Mate. There are various workout programs between 7 and 9am~ Classes run on weekends too

It wasn't easy taking photos during class, so I snapped one when the other members had their backs turned!

There were also a ton of assistive equipment used during class

Pilates is especially great for core exercises and lower body strengthening~ Start and end every class with stretching! Maybe because it had been a while since her last pilates class, Jini had a bit of muscle soreness the next day, but that's proof of a good workout, right? haha

There was a pilates reformer here too~ Jini's only daughter Allie, who lives in Australia, apparently got a reformer for home too... She takes after her mom and loves exercising^^ Wait, she's not a kid anymore, she's an adult, right? haha (TMI) Maybe because she also does morning runs and core exercises at home, her abs were seriously toned last time she visited Korea

Among Primefit Pilates' programs there was something called Monthly Unit that Jini was curious about, but the schedule didn't work out, so she decided to try it another time

The lounge and the 2nd-floor women-only gym

Here's the lounge at Primefit Pilates Wecity

For those whose blood sugar drops after a pilates workout, candy like this was ready, and you could also have a cup of tea~ Jini wanted a piece of candy too but held off and headed up to the 2nd-floor gym instead^^

The 2nd-floor gym is women-only, so you can work out a bit more comfortably, right? haha Workout clothes can show a bit of skin, but since it's all women, you don't need to worry about that, right?^^

On the day of her first class, she forgot to bring sneakers, so she only did core exercises that day haha

Second barrel class, 50 minutes

The second class was also a barrel class, and by the time it ended with a side stretch, the 50-minute class had flown by in the blink of an eye! The instructor's voice was clear and crisp, which helped Jini stay focused, and she worked out without even noticing time pass, it wasn't boring at all

If you're looking for Siksa-dong pilates or a women-only gym PT in Ilsan, Jini recommends Primefit Pilates Wecity~ The class curriculum is great^^
