Her first experiences with reformer Pilates were frustrating. She said she initially felt awkward and disconnected, as though her body did not respond to her needs. Instead of quitting, she increased her sessions. “Before, I went to Pilates one day a week and felt clumsy. But instead of giving it up, I signed up for two. Little by little, I improved my strength, flexibility, coordination and concentration,” she said.
Serrat began her working life in radio before turning to acting in 2020, while also pursuing her interest in music. The article presents her Pilates experience as part of a broader personal transformation. Arianna Parra, a reformer Pilates coach at IRON Studios, said the discipline can benefit physical and mental health when practiced with proper technique. It works on stability, balance, posture, the deep abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor, while strengthening the body without harmful joint impact.
