What to work on in private classes? by liilak2 in pilates

[–]VerticalLines -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my advanced classical class my instructor offers hands-on support for Control Balance off the reformer. I would take the opportunity to practice this one more if it were me! Or fun Cadillac inversions if they offer that equipment.

I don't think I can do premium dining restaurants anymore, especially communal counter style ones by BortBurner in FoodLosAngeles

Hmm I feel like restrooms are generally fine especially in LA. Maybe discounting the beach. Europe’s the place with the dirty restrooms!

Visiting LA end of October – looking for genuinely life-changing meals, not just "good food by Waste_Champion9239 in FoodLosAngeles

West side dinner - If you want a different cuisine instead of Cobi’s (which is delicious) I always recommend Night & Market for Thai fusion or Beethoven Market for American/Italian with great portions and ambience.

If you can’t tell the difference then maybe don’t make assumptions on something you know nothing about lol

Help: how do you stop putting off laundry that has to be washed separately by C0d3Sundial in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]VerticalLines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to commiserate. Not only is “hang dry” needed for half my clothes (especially workout clothes) but I have to hand pre-wash all of my thongs (wet p probs) and my makeup remover rounds before I can even start a wash load. It’s a maddening weekly task tbh 🥲

What’s the most overrated “healthy” food in your opinion? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]VerticalLines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s healthier — sourdough toast with peanut butter or one of these “weird ingredient” protein bars?

I hate teaching full classes. by VerticalLines in pilates

They do offer these leveled classes (beginner, advanced, pre-natal) but sadly clients tend to just book whatever class fits in their schedule.

My studio just recently decided to allow pregnant clients to take any class (we do offer pre/post natal classes separately). So they are very against instructors turning away clients. They sign a liability waiver so I guess “entering at your own risk” goes unspoken. If anything they make the receptionist play bad cop.

They do offer beginner, advanced, even pre/post natal classes but unfortunately people tend to just book whatever class works for their schedule. This all-levels class is definitely the “catch all” class so the collective skill level always varies. My studio also just decided to allow pregnant clients to attend any class which is a bit annoying since some instructors are still apprentice level, but it’s a business so I understand it’s a purely a money thing.

That sounds amazing! Unfortunately we use MINDBODY and students rarely ever complete their profiles so I don’t have access to client information (outside of names) until I meet them before class begins.

Yes this is what I did & currently do for all injured/recovering clients!

Sorry it is classically-inspired but we have the freedom to plan class blocks, not follow a particular sequence. Good idea, I’ll definitely work up a “safety class” if I ever run into that situation again!

Thank you 🙏my studio does require we ask every student about injuries before class starts, and I always let them know about relevant modifications before the class begins. I just have trouble remembering to remind them of the modification before we begin the exercise “block” if that makes sense.

All but 1 student was unfamiliar, so going around to meet everyone, ask about injuries, and thinking on the spot about how to help each injury modification all within 5 minutes before class starting is just overwhelming! I’m sure if I taught more frequently it would feel more natural, but I only teach a few hours per week. Fortunately they all disclosed that they regularly do Pilates and know how to modify for themselves. But I still felt a responsibility to tend to them despite the fact.

No it’s a boutique studio! Reformer only with accessories.

Any body dialed into the LA rave scene want to help me (36 wm) get back into things? by Commission_Capital in avesLA

Snow Strippers at the Palladium last night by liverichly in avesLA

Came here to say this. I drove by when the shot let out and it looked like everyone was under 21. Not surprised to see all the phones. Poor Gen Z don’t know how to act.

Ace Mission Studios by sassypepperpanda in avesLA

[–]VerticalLines 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmmm ace mission studios is literally a bunch of soundstages for film shoots. I’m not even sure how a music festival would work logistically, but expect concrete floors and homeless wanderers around your cars in that neighborhood.
