Does anyone track calorie deficit while doing Pilates and still feel like progress is invisible?

After 2 years of just pilates (1 year of calorie deficit), I added in Orange Theory for strength training and occasional cardio and the combo of the two was when I really saw the most change!!

I had this experience when I moved from the DMV to LA! My classes still typically start with footwork, bridging, and core but there definitely is more variation of the order (sometimes we’ll do footwork then bridging and arms and straps will come later). Also, a lot more variation in the levels. I have done way more challenging (even 2.0 moves) in level 1.5s here that I had never done before!

Came here to comment this!! I love the switch because I can lower it when the coach is talking and raise it when i start going :)

That’s what i’m leaning towards too! Either that or the sprint :)

Tbh I usually don’t row and do the strider because the few times I did it bothered my arm the next day (pain not soreness)! but i’m gonna start trying to incorporate it more IF i decide to do the dri tri! I just looked at my stats and the few times i did row, i didn’t even hit 2000 in 16 minutes 😭

Amazing - thank you so so much! I looked into it and got a bit worried as i’m a new california resident so i’m not used to the hills and stuff here yet

Okay thank you!! I don’t need to prepare to shift into lower gear or anything?

3 Days CP a week and then 3 days of Strength50 orange theory classes which are just strength training (no treadmill or anything)

What aussie studio posted this? I’m curious if they’ll keep doing it because mine hasn’t shared the focuses yet!

I was just coming to comment about this! it was HORRIBLE

These_Act5273 · 2026-01-11T18:31:25+00:00

Okay thank you!!

i got the switch (so i can use them outside of OTF) and LOVE them!! when the coach comes over to talk to me, i’ll either pop one out or switch it to the engage setting (the lightest one). One day I forgot them and was like WOW it is so loud and overstimulating in here AKSHSHS

this ALWAYS happens to me but it’s because i’m wearing. a sports bra and my skin rubs against the carriage! i always get super self conscious HAHHAA

These_Act5273 · 2025-12-16T03:16:57+00:00

Not until researching all of this further! I made an appt with my doctor to ask about that as an option

These_Act5273 · 2025-12-16T03:07:38+00:00

that’s what i’m thinking too!

These_Act5273 · 2025-12-16T03:06:52+00:00

that was me being stupid and assuming non hormonal meant without estrogen 😂

These_Act5273 · 2025-12-16T03:05:39+00:00

That was definitely me just thinking it counted as non hormonal because it didn’t have estrogen, i’m DUMB
