It’s no secret that Pilates remains one of the hottest workouts around. Interest in Pilates skyrocketed in 2022 after Lori Harvey credited her rock-hard abs to the exercise program, sparking a viral trend on TikTok and becoming a go-to workout for It girls and anyone looking to break a sweat. Even Equinox has joined the movement, with the popular gym recently adding Pilates Rise classes to its schedule.

“It’s a great way to build muscle and build muscle,” said Taylor Phillips, one of Equinox’s Pilates Master Instructors. Bazaar She loves Pilates because “it’s an intense, full-body workout that uses both your own body weight and the spring resistance of small tools and equipment. It’s very effective.” When asked what she thinks about Pilates’ growing popularity, she says, “Pilates has been around in various forms since the 1940s. After going through many different forms, the large group format of Pilates is now very popular. It combines a great workout with fun, healthy community building.”

And Pilates isn’t something anyone should be afraid of. “Pilates is friendly to all levels and abilities,” Phillips says. “Unlike a lot of other exercises, Pilates balances strength and flexibility, so you come away feeling like you’ve had both a great workout and a great stretch.” That said, Pilates can also be intense. “Although we value precision, not all exercises are slow. With Pilates, the goal is to make the most of every moment, create flow, and connect the movements.”

Phillips says what he loves most about Equinox’s popular workouts is their vibrancy and energy: “We mimic the more intense workouts you’d experience on studio equipment and use accessories that we wouldn’t normally use in a mat class to maximize the benefits.”

All you need to attend a Pilates class at Phillips or at your local studio is a nice one-piece or bra and leggings set, and the most important: Pilates grip socks. Most studios won’t let you work out without them. Here are 11 of the best Pilates grip socks you can buy right now.
