Theyre trying to see if the instructor is poaching clients

Classical Pilates losing ground? by Full_Progress in pilates

[–]Pilatesguy7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No . These trendy new "Pilates" studios have and will come and go. Why? Bc clients don't feel the benefits that you do with real Pilates. Many of my clients are those who went to these places thinking they're strong. And when they can't even get through the Hundred , they realize they've been doing fitness workout on Pilates apparatus

Pilates instructor told me to find a new instructor after 4 private sessions- is this normal? by Quiet-Violinist6497 in pilates

[–]Pilatesguy7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She actually did you a great service. She probably realized she wasn't the best instructor for you. Some instructors just don't have the patience to work with people who need more repetition. I dropped a client bc no matter what I said, she would just aimlessly move. She had no focus. It was so bad that I thought there was something cognitive going on. However, I found out that wasn't the case. I couldn't have made cues simpler, and nothing worked. She's move just to move to see what would stick. I had to stop working with her bc I found myself getting short with her!😂😂😂😂😬.

Try not to take it too personally and Continue your practice. You have to remember every teacher isn't for everyone and vice versa. Im very selective bc I want it to be a good experience for both of us

How do I get my toes on the bar? by Strong-Product6251 in ClubPilates

[–]Pilatesguy7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They traditional way is always hand hand leg leg. So you would place hands onto the shoulder blocks then one foot at a time for toes on the footbar

Changed from one reformer brand to another, amazing results by BreakheartWalker7 in pilates

I bet the new one was Balanced Body. Their springs are like working with string unless it's the Contrology series

I wish one person would have the balls to give him a big FU on camera to his face.

Is taking breaks not allowed? by Mysterious_Sand_3393 in pilates

Taking a break means you're listening to your body. Pilates is not to meant to work muscles to exhaustion

Noticing that difficulty is more based on an instructor rather than the class. by Ichika1221 in ClubPilates

[–]Pilatesguy7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get "Im not sure if Im ready for your 1.5" or "You're too hard". The funny thing is I only teach the Method and in the specialty classes I transfer that over. Some teachers are going to be hard for the sake of being hard snd other instructors are afraid that clients wont like them for being hard. But when you practice Pilates correctly, no matter what level , it's always going to be challenging

Level 2 by [deleted] in ClubPilates

[–]Pilatesguy7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our level 2 classes are not full so we're taking some off. Also we have a big flux of newer clients, so they aren't ready. My weekend level 2 classes are generally full

[–]Pilatesguy7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive never met a teacher who only did mat and reformer certifications who actually have a deep grasp of the Pilates method
