10 Celebrities Who Swear by Pilates

If you are like us, you are oh-so-curious what the stars are doing for their workouts. Their bodies are always on point and they seem to be ahead of the curve when it comes to workout trends. But it is no secret that Pilates is a staple in many celebrity workout routines. Pilates is known for its core focused workouts that trim and tone the entire body while also improving balance, coordination and flexibility.

But remember, nothing will work unless you do. These celebs put a lot into their health and fitness routines. Pilates keeps them long and lean, and it can do the same for you as long as you put in the time and effort. With regular practice, proper form and instruction, you will see results!

Here is a list of 10 celebrities who are Pilates-devotees and have the results to show it!

1. Jennifer Aniston

This former “Friend” is a serious Pilates enthusiast. Pilates helps Jen stay trim, toned and fit while helping her rehab from injuries. She credits the method for helping her stay healthy while combating some health issues.

She has said, “I’m a Pilates person. It’s great. I had a hip problem. I had a chronic back issue, a pinched nerve, and a hip problem and Pilates completely solved all of it. I love it. It makes me feel like I’m taller.”

2. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga regularly practices Pilates to not only keep in great shape but to help relieve issues caused by fibromyalgia. This low impact form of exercise gives Lady Gaga an amazing workout without stressing her joints.

That is what is truly wonderful about the Pilates Method – It is a challenging form of exercise but can be modified for anyone, with nearly any condition. Get it, Gaga!

3. Kate Hudson

The “How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days” star is one of the top celebrities in Hollywood. She is not only known for her incredible acting skills, but also for her amazing figure. So, what does this A-lister do to keep fit? You guessed it…Pilates!

Kate says “I was 19 when I discovered Pilates, and I’m still doing it. It’s the workout my body really responds to. It’s all about alignment, elongating your spine, and strengthening your core. It makes me feel my strongest. Pilates is always challenging. The advanced moves are amazing but so hard.”

4. Jenna Dewan

Best known for her role in “Step Up” and for being (formerly) married to Channing Tatum, this actress loves a good old Pilates sweat-sesh! Jenna stays long and lean by working with a Pilates instructor and practicing the method regularly.

5. Kourtney Kardashian

The Kardashians are known for their bodies (and booty’s!) and Pilates is one of the ways they stay fit. Although all three practice Pilates, Kourtney is in the studio regularly throwing down some pretty tough workouts. She recently posted pictures of herself doing some hanging pull ups on the Cadillac with the assistance of an instructor. Pilates is one of the ways she (and her sisters) stay lean and toned.

6.  Sylvestor Stallone

Actor, director, and screenwriter Sylvester Stallone is best known for his roles as “Rocky” and “Rambo”. He has also starred in films such as “Demolition Man,” “The Expendables,” and ‘Creed.”

Now in his 70’s, Stallone is still in amazing shape, and is committed to staying that way. He has added Pilates into his routine and seems to have developed a love-hate relationship with it, stating, “For anyone who’s never tried Pilates — the name sounds cute, but it ain’t cute.”

7. Adele

Known for her soulful voice and emotionally charged music, Adele is a singer/songwriter superstar. It is no secret that she has had her ups and downs with weight but has managed to stabilize recently and looks great! It has been said that Adele credits her close friends and the powerful effects of Pilates for helping her get back on track.

8. Miley Cyrus

Miley has been doing Pilates for many years and it shows! She shows amazing control and can perform many advanced exercises. This style of training certainly helps her stay lean, toned and performance ready.

Miley regularly posts images on social media of herself doing Pilates…and killing it!

9. Hilary Duff

Hilary has been doing Pilates for a few years now and loves it as part of her overall fitness routine. She likes to hit the weights, do some cardio and get in a few good Pilates sessions before the week is done.

Hilary has said, “I was a gymnast when I was little, so I think Pilates is really important to helping me stay long and lean. I try to do it three times a week.”

10. Hailey Bieber

Hailey is often seen coming out of Pilates classes in LA, usually followed by Kendall Jenner, Ariana Grande and Sophia Richie. She and Justin have even been spotted doing Pilates together.
