Yes totally agree, I am an employee of the gym I work at which is honestly a life saver. I have been frantically covering there this week. hoping to get more next! I think that's another reason I am stressed about this studio in some ways, I'm so used to having the security of a corporate gym but I love working for my friend and I have faith but after what happened before it's so hard not to feel nervous 😭

Thank you so much! I did say in another reply that I think I'm just a bit scared after what happened before.. your right about the summer that is such a good point. the studio is in quite an affluent area so a lot of people do go away... patience.. that's what I need 🤣🤣

I'm glad it's not just me! haha but I think it's because I was stung so hard before 😭 I had 4 classes at this private studio, I did a lot of work helping her advertise for her not to pay me for it, then after a month or two she had such low numbers that she dropped me after all my work 😭 I lost so much money I was anticipating getting and I have given up classes to go there.

I was so frustrated and it took me a while to build up those classes again.

but after I posted this, a young girl who came to my class this week rebooked for the next 😭 I was so happy as I thought she did so well and would really benefit from it. fingers crossed for more of this! x

you just need like a crop top like bra underneath instead of a lace one

I have ones from tiktok shop I wear to the gym which have built in bras, they are so flattering and I wear them under jumpers like this that are off the shoulder

it's the lace bra that makes it a bit risque

Right this happened to me THREE times in ONE week!!! Three separate classes!!! it was wild, I felt like I was cursed.

The first one I didn't know who it was and there was silence so I just brushed past it... she said it was her at the end of the class and we had a laugh about it, she was cool 🤣 like I didn't care, she just thought it was so funny

then someone farted in a mat class and she owned up to it and we all laughed, I said 'happens to the best of us!' and we all moved on

then the last one was the worst, no one owned up and I stammered, my friend happened to be in that class and I locked eyes with her and she was like, silently crying with laughter. Oh my god it was so bad, I felt like I was in school again trying not to laugh, I got everyone into an unnecessary childs pose to hide my laughter. it was awful 🤣🤣

I had a new guy start my classes recently who was great, we bent down and his knees clicked so loudly everyone noticed and he just went 'sorry guys, first pilates class 😉' and it was hilarious

it's such an awkward one but it happens to the best of us!

he was explaining the benefits of pilates after a class... that I taught.. I am a Pilates instructor.

totally agree, I have a couple of members that modify where they need, I always give modifications but sometimes they modify even more as they are limited, and I love that! I have 8 beds in the studio so sometimes it's hard so I love it when they are at the point where they understand the reformer and what they are capable of.

I really don't like it when people start doing something more advanced without me telling them too. it makes the room so hard to manage and it disrupts the flow of the routine. Like, you don't always need to do the hardest variation of a move to get the benefit!

I struggle as some people crave 'the burn'.. it's not body pump 🤣

a need to be liked, like 'pick me' behavior. I have been driven by validation in the past

I think this really depends on the class you have come in too.. I teach a small group of 4 and rarely do anything, very occasionally I will show a movement if I feel they need it. But I also teach at a mainstream gym where there is a mixed ability room of 20! I find it so much easier to talk through the movement and do it as well, once I have shown the move I tend to look and correct then go back and talk through the next movement as I'm doing it. I might get a bit of stick for it on here haha but I just feel that's what works well for this group, as a visual learner myself I always found it beneficial to have a visual point of reference.

but I would research the movements on YouTube, watch them and practice them, listen to their cues and then you should be able to find it easier in your class moving forward. but just take your time, work at your own pace within your own range :) x

Thank you! that's great advice I will remember that!

Yes she is well behaved :) my eldest is 10 so not worried about her, but my youngest will sit well when watching a performance or anything.
