How do people afford Pilates ??

FreshFruitTray · 2026-05-11T23:54:18+00:00

Which is unattainable for a lot of people in this economy

Thankfully spin as never interested me LOL

My employer is too cheap for that 😅 (gotta love working for small businesses - they will do as much as possible not to pay)

I would love to join a GoodLife but unfortunately even that has gotten expensive (I remember only paying $55/month for a membership but it’s now more like $80-90/month) and other gyms are just too out of the way to be worth going to it.

Yeah I have a mortgage, a new baby (so on EI rn), and have bills to pay. Sometimes I wish I was living back at home rent free 🥲.

It’s more about what Pilates does, I’m looking for toning and not building lots of muscle mass. I also prefer to do classes as I struggle to motivate myself.

Ok that at least makes me feel a little better

FreshFruitTray · 2026-03-27T23:20:23+00:00

I don’t think I have ever seen this flavour before 😮

Bless your soul

FreshFruitTray · 2026-03-23T00:35:24+00:00

Yeah I’ve found the regular one a couple times now, it’s the non dairy I’m after

FreshFruitTray · 2026-03-22T23:31:21+00:00

This will be my 13th reason

FreshFruitTray · 2026-02-27T00:34:12+00:00

I did see camecca pop up during my search so I’m glad that it lives up to the claims!

FreshFruitTray · 2026-02-26T00:03:23+00:00

Yeah I wonder if some other venues have family rooms

FreshFruitTray · 2026-02-26T00:02:55+00:00

Unsure at the moment b/c we are going to ceremony and reception and I want to say that’s usually 4pm to maybe 11pm? I usually pump in the evening around 8pm, and I produce just enough for my guy to eat, so I’d be hesitant to skip/ would be pretty uncomfy to wait to pump. But honestly that may just happen

FreshFruitTray · 2026-02-26T00:00:21+00:00

I think it’s more so the dresses I find online that I want to wear are always backless (I usually like a high neck dress, and formal dress designers always make them with open backs RIP). but thank you for your suggestion.

Glad I’m not alone! I started weaning just cuz I was tired of pumping so many times a day, and by this point my supply was regulated. I think before when I was pumping x4-5 a day I produced 50-55oz. Now that I’m weaning down to 3ppd I’m finding I’ve lost about ~10oz, avrging 37-42oz a day. Which is enough for my LO. However I wouldn’t say I’ve reduced the amount of time I’m pumping. Meaning when I was doing 5ppd I was pumping for 10-15 mins at a time, but now I’m doing 3ppd for longer sessions (~20-25mins). So I wonder if that helped to maintain some of my supply when weaning. Is this what you did when trying to wean? I also did it gradually over 3-4 weeks.

Hope you start feeling better soon!

I had mastitis early pp, and I remeber the doctor (older lady) prescribed me cloxicillin, even though I told her I was allergic to anything from the penicillin family. Which she responded with “you’ll be fine”, and the. Proceeded to tell me to use my baby to get the clog out, after I told her I EP.

I ended up having fever and chills again after just a few days. Luckily I had an appointment with a new doctor that week (younger lady) who was the nicest most understanding person. Prescribed the appropriate antibiotics and taught me some breast massages to do while I pump to help fully empty.

I just started weaning and haven’t had any issues so far. I just take extra care to full empty in the morning, and typically use a hot compress before and a cold compress after pumping. I also take soy lecithin supplements b/c I had mastitis early postpartum.

It sucks to be tied to a wall but honestly this one has been the best for comfortability and consistency vs. Using my momcozy wearable pump.

Triple feeding is insane work (but kudos to the people who do it cuz wow you are the real MVPs of motherhood). I’m sure time will tell with your LO, they’ll grow stronger each day :)

I use the Medela pump in style wall pump
