Fitness Education --- Lifetime Independence
Move = Work = Play
Welcome to UMove. Our aim is to make you move better than ever.
The Power of Fitness Education: Building Independence Through Movement
At UMove Fitness(formerly Pilates Plus), we believe that fitness education is more than just learning exercises - it is about understanding your body, developing self-sufficiency, and gaining the confidence to move freely.
When you have the knowledge and skills to take care of your own health, you become less dependent on external factors like personal trainers, physiotherapists, or gym memberships. Instead, you build a strong foundation that empowers you to move efficiently, prevent injuries, and sustain an active lifestyle on your own terms.
Why Fitness Education Matters
- Injury Prevention and Longevity
Many people get injured due to poor movement habits, lack of mobility, or improper exercise techniques. Understaning biomechanics, posture, and functional movement reduces the risk of injuries and ensures long-term physical health.
2. Confidence and Self-Reliance
When you're educated about fitness, you don't need to rely on a rigid program or constant supervision. You'll know how to structure your workouts, modify exercises for your needs, and progress safely, giving you the freedom to train anytime, anywhere.
3. Adaptability to Life's Challenges
Life is unpredictable - sometimes you can't make it to a gym or access equipment. With proper fitness education, you can train effectively with minimal resources, using bodyweight exercises, Pilates techniques, and movement drills that improve strength and flexibility without needing a gym.
4. Holistic Health and Well-Being
Fitness isn't just about looking good; it's about feeling strong, mobile, and pain-free. By understanding movement science and integrating practices like calisthenics and Pilates, and functional training, you enhance your quality of life in ways that extend beyond workouts.
5. Empowerment Through Knowledge
The more you learn about body mechanics, strength training, flexibility, and recovery, the more control you have over your own fitness journey. Instead of following trends or quick fixes, you develop a lifelong approach to health that adapts to your goals and needs.

At UMove Fitness, we prioritise education-based training, offering in-depth guidance on movement efficiency, proper form, and self-care techniques. Whether through our in-person classes, online content, or YouTube tutorials, we equip you with the tools to take charge of your fitness journey.

Calisthenics and Pilates in Singapore
At UMove Singapore, we offer Calisthenics m Movement, Pilates, and Handstands classes. These classes are designed for you to gradually progress from one practice to another.

What is the relationship between Pilates and Calisthenics?
Pilates methodology was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s. He created this exercise system to focus on the body's alignment, incorporate breathing in the movement, and emphasize the core to be the powerhouse of how your body moves.
It mainly consists of floor exercises done on the mat, but you can also do the session on the Pilates Reformer, which is a very popular Pilates equipment.
Calisthenics training is a system of exercise that mainly utilize the body as the resistance. It has a lot of influence from gymnastics strength training. Though this method was already practised for 100s of years, it has become very popular in the last 10 years.
Also known as Bodyweight Strength Training, it has a very effective method of building muscles, getting really strong, and building some impressive display of skills, especially once you go more advance with the training.
Both Calisthenics and Pilates methodology shares a lot in common as they both utilize the body as main resistance for the workout.
The main difference is that Pilates is a milder version of Calisthenics focused more on the refinement of the movement. Whereas Calisthenics is focused more on high volume to build the body's capacity to handle a more intense workout as you progress.
Pilates Classes
At UMove Fitness (Pilates Plus), our aim is to smoothly blend Calisthenics and Pilates method into our sessions.
The fine touch of our Pilates classes refines your posture, strengthens your core and helps you develop better body awareness. We recommend you start with our Pilates Mat classes. This will serve to build you a better foundation and prevents injury.
