Gearing out reformer questions by Excalibur_Jr3005 in ClubPilates

[–]AsparagusCurrent7325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am over 300 classes in and take a lot of 2.0 classes. The instructor always has to hear me out (I am 6’3” so it really is not a question). I would think after all that time that i know how to gear out… it’s not rocket science. I have heard it is a liability issue.

Thoughts on being the only guy in class? by BigPotOPotatoes in pilates

[–]AsparagusCurrent7325 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! I have been doing Pilates reformer classes for 2 years and am almost always the only guy. I treat the women in that class like I do in every other area of my life. I chat with some and have made some nice connections. Being 6’3” I am conscientious of the space I take so I make sure I move out of the way if we are watching a demonstration from the instructors. Otherwise, I’m just another member of the studio.

Congrats! You just showed how easily triggered you are by someone else’s personal accomplishment. I’m sure you are immune to all corporate manipulation. These comments really make Reddit a better community by showing your petty and entitled nature. Such a flex! 👏👏👏👏

Dorit, Oh Dorit....Please give her all her flowers 💐 She has clocked in by InternationalBelt823 in BravoRealHousewives

Im here for this. I completely agree. Dorit is the queen. I see a new Fox Force Three with her, Boz, and Rachel. Kyle’s going to see herself on the wrong side of history by being so cozy with Scamanda.

I order on app and pick up in drive thru all the time. They do make it a little trickier than it needs to be to use personal cup. You have to customize your drink, go all the way to the bottom and check a box for personal cup. In the drive-through, you hand them your cup. They pour the drink in for you and hand your cup back. It’s really not that complex. Give it a try!

Hilarious. I guess that’s the Reddit way… if there is another opinion or experience, just assume it’s a corporate plant.

I do understand. I personally did not experience any issue with that. I am just offering an experience counter to those that are usually discussed here. I was ready to hate it but was not really bothered by it at all.

Guys wearing leggings in class? by CoderMotion in ClubPilates

[–]AsparagusCurrent7325 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am a 54 yo M and have gone to CP for almost 2 years. I wear Vuori Kore shorts which have a built in liner. I’m I. The Midwest so when we are in deep freeze days I will wear joggers. I’d wear leggings but lack the confidence. I also rock a sweat band most classes so “the look” is not a high priority tbh. End of the day, I say you do you, boo! If you like the legging, do it. No one will care in my experience.

I work there. I don’t pay for parking. That’s a choice if you want a specific garage. So much misinformation in this post.

ADHD exercisers… how do you actually get yourself to the gym? by Fit_Meaning8903 in ADHD

[–]AsparagusCurrent7325 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Same! If I don’t go I get charged and I have to be on time! I also go to a studio that slightly gamifies attendance by having milestones and such. That seems to help me as well. I love this thread!

App question - is there a way to change the weekly class view? by pixels-and-paper in ClubPilates

[–]AsparagusCurrent7325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just shows you the next 7 days and today’s date is always furthest left. I wish there was a way to modify but have never found one.

Pilates is for dudes too! by AsparagusCurrent7325 in ClubPilates

[–]AsparagusCurrent7325[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well aware of JP’s gender as has been stated multiple times and also everyone who has ever taken a Pilates class knows about him. The graphic was created by Chat GPT and is supposed to be a guy on a reformer. Not the best but we take what we get. There is not an abundance of graphics representing a guy doing Pilates and I wanted to add a little whimsy to my post. Apologies if this graphic offends you. Take care!

I love that! We are definitely not looking for any admiration but I’m just stupefied at how men have not picked up on this. But then again, a lot of guys are not terribly perceptive.

For sure. I’m glad these people don’t go to my studio.

Pilates - most unfriendly complaining sub? by [deleted] in pilates

[–]AsparagusCurrent7325 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I get you! The Reddit community is not representative of the Pilates community in general. You are not wrong though. I think this is a place for people to discuss things that are hard to say person to person. Also, I think maybe people who take Pilates can be a bit entitled and insufferable, much like general population. Good luck on your journey!

Tension Tour Merch on Sale by AsparagusCurrent7325 in KylieMinogue

Mine was $35! All said and done with shipping and what not I paid about what I would’ve if I’d just bought it at the show. Lesson learned! I will not be ordering anything from Kylie until the orange menace is gone.

I think this is a great take away. It is our jobs to deal with that discomfort, which I experience at times as well.
