What's the difference between Pilates progressions and progressive overload?

In this episode of the Evidence-Based Pilates Podcast, I'm joined by Pilates educator and strength coach Kyle Marsh to unpack one of the most debated topics in the Pilates industry: strength training.

We explore why strength training has become such a controversial topic, where traditional Pilates education falls short, and how understanding exercise science can make you a more effective instructor.

From progressive overload and exercise intensity to muscular fatigue, training volume, and specificity, we break down the principles that drive strength adaptations and how you can apply them to your Pilates classes.

The goal isn't to turn Pilates into weightlifting. It's to understand how the body adapts to exercise so we can make more informed decisions and better serve our clients.
