Our Fitness Center features high performance Technogym equipment for cardio and strength training. We also offer a series of complimentary classes including yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi. Or, if personal attention is preferred, our personal trainers will design a nutrition and exercise plan that will help you achieve results. Based on your body’s particular needs, this personalized session will expose you to the wellness program that works best with your body.

Aboard Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Quest you may try the Kinesis System. Using a tri-dimensional pulley system, our personal trainers will guide you through a series of exercises designed to improve balance, flexibility and strength.

There's no reformer, chair, tower, etc. but there's a ball and you can do your own mat exercises.

Classes are via sign-up (the sheet is available the day before). Last time the first days classes had a waiting list before we left port (so get to the spa early if that's your priority). BUT... show up anyway if you are on the waiting list as people no show - and as the cruise wears on, the interest in classes dwindles and it's easier to get a spot!

Thanks, jenidallas, for the helpful tip. I'll put it to good use in October.

Always understood the pilates came on board just as we were on way into port...

How intense are the classes? Would certainly like to join in as a newbie, but would hate to join if I were surrounded by those who know the poses and would roll their eyes as those less experienced.

It's floor/mat work. Not super easy from what I heard (my cabin mate went while I hit the regular gym) but a cruise is a good time to try something new!

Go to class and do what you can. Just focus on your own mat while you're there. It's your practice and no one else's.

Pilates should not be easy, even for the most experienced.

Most passengers on SB are relatively sophisticated, relaxed, and at ease with themselves. Thus highly unlikely to indulge in eye-rolling and other low-level, office-worker, competitive nonsense.

By all means join in. You will find several newbies taking classes.

 

This is part of your vacation. Do new things

 

As someone who started Pilates 2 years ago I will tell you it is great. You really learn about the importance of good posture. I think it is fantastic.
