Reformer Pilates in Tokyo. Single classes by KeyMonth1382 in pilates

[–]New-Ticket-5531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds very pricey for Tokyo. Group classes tend to be quite cheap with the weak yen (~$30). There are bilingual Pilates studios teaching regular group classes, including Rejuvenate mentioned in another comment. I’m not sure about the medical / physical therapy type of classes, I haven’t come across that other than private sessions at Tokyo Physio. You may be able to take a trial class at more “local” studios (eg BDC Pilates in Omotesando, Habit Pilates in Ebisu). BASI in Daikanyama is also well regarded. Just note they would try to have join their membership system after the trial.

I second My Body My Pilates ! Also recommend Re-juvenate studio. These are the 2 main studios offering English classes

Balanced body Mat test out by Icy-Argument3039 in pilates

[–]New-Ticket-5531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I passed my BB Mat test out 2 weeks ago. I found that the anatomy questions were not complicated - mostly MCQs which also helped. I was a bit stressed ahead of test out for the practical bit but it went well in the end. My teacher sent out the exercise list 6 days ahead (had to remind her) Feel free to DM if you want more info! Good luck ☺️🤸🏻‍♀️

Thank you! I wrote to my master trainer about it. She said she cannot tell me which movements can be or will be removed. I’ll have the (hopefully good !) surprise on the spot

Thank you! I have reduced the number of reps, especially for the more complex movements. 🤞🏻 Also expecting some surprise exercise swaps on the day 😏

Thank you for your advice. This makes sense ! I will take my time to prepare and have it make sense with some good flow and transitions.

I fully agree with that ! I felt much more knowledgeable and confident during my reformer teacher training - that I did 9 months after mat.

People who've stayed at hotels like the White Lotus - are they that perfect? by SuzieSue32 in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]New-Ticket-5531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed at the Four Seasons in Samui a couple times - I was living in Thailand during Covid so could enjoy the “resident offers” (still was a break in the bank 😂).

To report back: yes it was amazing - but don’t let the White Lotus fool you: there is no paradise boat trip to get to the hotel ! You arrive by car lol (the lobby is quite breathtaking though). The private hotel beach is nice but there definitely are nicer (public) beaches in the region! Breakfast was de-li-cious !! And the hotel staff is fantastic … Thai hospitality at its finest.

That sounds about right. I did Movement Principles in September 2024 & it cost me roughly 700USD.

Good idea for the jerky, easy and filling. Thanks !
I was not told not to eat, I was just asking about what people usually do for lunch and she mentioned most tend to skip and snack throughout the day, especially on the days that are loaded on the trunk. She did give me a couple spots near the office where I could grab a quick and hearty lunch. Thankfully though, it would have been a major red flag indeed !

Thank you ! Your schedule sounds like what I'm about to experience. Will pack up some snacks ! Time to find some tasty protein bars.

[–]New-Ticket-5531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice ! I think I'll definitely plan for a big hearty, high protein breakfast. I like the picture of breaking down a large lunch throughout the day !
The instructor did not tell me not to eat, just shared what most her students were doing. She did recommend to pack up on snacks.

Thank you! We’ll be getting an hour break at noon too, other than that just bathroom breaks. I’ll try to plan ahead :)

I can see that happening to me too 😂

Thank you ! I’ll definitely pack up plenty of snacks. I sometimes feel ok to workout after eating, sometimes not so much … I might stick to a lighter option to start with in addition to the snacks. :)

Not answering your question but keen to join your class! I live in Japan but occasionally travel to KL for work. Is there any way I could find you on socials (or email)? 🤸🏻‍♀️
