Free videos or a paid plan? Try free first
By the TrueMe team · Updated · Lire en français
Start free. Free videos, ours and YouTube’s, are enough to learn Wall Pilates and to find out whether you will keep it up. A paid plan is worth it when you want the choosing done for you: sessions sized to your level that get harder each week and change with what you did. Below is a free first week to try.
In short
- TrueMe has 8 free follow-along workouts and a free 28-day challenge. They play in your browser, with no sign-up.
- YouTube has good free wall Pilates classes too. We review 6 of them, with notes on who each one suits.
- Free videos are the same for everyone: you choose what to do each day, and nothing changes if a week was too easy or too hard.
- A paid plan sets your level, session length and training days from a quiz, and changes as you go. TrueMe’s plan costs $3.99 with a 7-day trial of the app, then $29.99 every 28 days until you cancel.
Your free first week
Seven days that mix our free sessions with two of the free YouTube classes we review: three main sessions, two easy days, a rest day and a stretch. Each session is 5 to 14 minutes.

Play it hereDay 2 · Easy day
5-minute morning Wall Pilates
5 min · standing · free here, voice-guided
Slow, supported moves for your spine, shoulders and hips. Gentle enough for the day after your first session.
Play it hereDay 3 · Session 2
Jessica Valant’s wall workout for beginners
14 min · standing, lying and seated · free on YouTube
Taught by a licensed physical therapist, as the channel states. You change position twice, so have a mat ready before you press play.
Watch it with our notesDay 4 · Rest day
Rest, or go for a walk
No session
A day off between sessions. If you want to move, a brisk walk counts toward the 150 minutes of moderate activity a week the CDC recommends for adults.
Day 5 · Session 3
Wall Pilates for legs and glutes
12 min · standing · free here, voice-guided
Wall squats, glute presses, supported lunges and a wall sit, twice through. Expect the wall sits to be the hardest part.
Play it hereDay 6 · Easy day
A short standing routine from Yes2Next
7 min · standing only · free on YouTube
Wall push-ups, rear leg lifts and a wall sit, shown by two people side by side. It never asks you to get down on the floor.
Watch it with our notesDay 7 · Stretch and look back
Wall Pilates stretch and cool-down
8 min · standing · free here, voice-guided
Then look back at the week. Which days did you do, and which did you skip? That tells you whether choosing your own sessions works for you.

Is a paid Wall Pilates plan worth it?
We sell one, so weigh our answer with that in mind: it is worth paying for when you want the choosing done for you. If you are happy picking a video each day, free is enough, and starting free costs nothing.
Free is enough if
- You enjoy choosing a session each day.
- You want to try Wall Pilates for a few weeks before you spend anything.
- Paying every four weeks would be a stretch right now.
A plan is worth it if
- You would rather not decide what to do each day.
- You want each session sized to how active you are now, not the same for everyone.
- You want each week to ask a little more of you, without guessing how much.
- You want the next four weeks built from what you did in the last four.
Free videos and a paid plan, side by side
The moves can be much the same. The difference is who decides what you do each day, and whether it changes with you.

What the paid plan adds
The plan is built from a short quiz, runs in your browser and changes with what you do: your session length, your training days, a weekly build and a second month planned from the first.
Your session length
Set from your answers about how active you are now: 15 minutes if you are starting out, 20 or 30 minutes if you are already active.
Your training days
Three, four or five days a week, set from your answers. If they suggest the habit will be hard to keep, you start with fewer days, not harder ones.
Four weeks that build
Each week the working sets get longer and the rests shorter, so week four asks more of you than week one.
Month two from month one
After four weeks, the next block is built from the sessions you finished and how each one felt.
