\n The founders of Vagabond Pilates, based in Lytchett Matravers and Blandford Forum, say slower, more intentional movement is just as effective, and more sustainable for everyday life.\n<\/p>\n
\n Their message comes after National Fitness Day, which this year carries the theme “Powered by You.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Millie, co-founder of Vagabond Pilates, said: “People are often taught to believe that exercise only counts if it leaves them completely exhausted.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We want to challenge that.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The team, which includes co-founder Tim, who spent two years with the UK Special Forces Selection Team, believes a more mindful approach to fitness can deliver long-term results without injury or burnout.\n<\/p>\n
\n Tim\u2019s military background showed him that pushing harder isn\u2019t always better\u2014especially when technique and decision-making start to break down under fatigue.\n<\/p>\n
\n Vagabond Pilates promotes controlled movement through Pilates, using the body’s own weight and apparatus with adjustable resistance to build flexibility, control, mobility and confidence.\n<\/p>\n
\n It can challenge experienced clients and complement more intense training, while also supporting beginners and people returning after a break.\n<\/p>\n
\n They also believe exercise should support people through life\u2019s tougher moments, not just when they feel energised and at their best.\n<\/p>\n
