Let’s be honest: we’ve all had that “This is it! I’m starting Pilates this week!” moment… followed swiftly by the gravitational pull of the couch and a glass of wine. At Reform & Ride, we’ve seen it all, from new clients who start strong and disappear mid-month to ones who quietly become Reformer regulars for years. So what’s the difference?
Habit. Not motivation. Not willpower. Just plain, simple habit.
And we’re here to help you build it.
1. Start Small, But Start Now
You don’t need to commit to five classes a week or buy a new wardrobe. Start with one or two classes on your calendar. Actually book them. Treat them like a doctor’s appointment or jury duty: non-negotiable. The more consistent your schedule, the faster Pilates becomes part of your week instead of something you have to “fit in.”
At Reform & Ride, we offer a variety of class times to suit early birds, weekenders, and everyone in between. Your excuses don’t stand a chance.
2. Stack the Habit
Want to really make it stick? “Habit stacking” is a proven psychological trick where you attach a new habit to an existing one. For example: “After I drop the kids off at school, I go straight to my Pilates class.” Or, “Every Tuesday after work, I head to the studio.”
It turns Pilates from a to-do into a routine.
3. Track Your Wins (Not Your Waistline)
We know that everyone loves a before-and-after photo. But at Reform & Ride, we encourage clients to track deeper wins: “I don’t get back pain at my desk anymore.” “I can finally touch my toes.” “I stood taller in a Zoom meeting and felt amazing.”
These are the results that keep you coming back and help you make a habit for a lifetime.
4. Find Your People
Nothing builds a habit faster than a little accountability — plus a little fun! Our community at Reform & Ride is part motivation squad, part unofficial comedy club. Come a few times and you’ll know names, inside jokes, and maybe even a birthday or two.
Suddenly, you’re not just showing up for Pilates. You’re showing up for your community.
5. Be Patient. Be Playful. Be Proud.
Your body doesn’t need to be perfect to start Pilates. It just needs to show up. We’ll take it from there.
Building a habit isn’t about intensity. It’s all about consistency. And the team at Reform & Ride is here to support, challenge, and high-five you every step of the way.
