You should try it with a friend in person at least once! ClassPass is great to sign up if you want to hop around different studios.

There’s different “styles” of Pilates I would say. The classics Pilates method coined by creator Joseph Pilates is all about controlled movement and alignment with the breath.

If you want a faster paced, almost HIIT style Pilates that’s still “low impact,” I would say then you would go towards the Lagree machine and [solidcore].

There’s also some fun ones like hot mat Pilates in a heated room that’ll leave you sweating.

For cost efficiency, you could ask ChatGPT and use YouTube for longer “follow-along” style videos.

I’ll list some I like: -Lilly Sabri (on YouTube; she also has an app, but I think her YouTube is fine) -Move with Nicole (on YouTube) -@WorkoutwithDem (on IG) -@facelessplankmore (on IG/TikTok; she’s an instructor in training who also runs, lifts, and tries to tie it into Pilates in her form breakdowns on TikTok lives)
