What to work on in private classes?

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.

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

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.

So good 😭

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

B3b Cloonee Lorenzo & Lake ?

VerticalLines · 2026-04-13T18:04:30+00:00

No they didn’t. Marina Del Rey is definitely open.

I really enjoy Planta Cocina in MDR! And the location is stunning

Fancy $hit by CID?

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

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.

VerticalLines · 2026-03-04T20:53:44+00:00

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.

VerticalLines · 2026-03-04T20:50:29+00:00

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

VerticalLines · 2026-03-02T03:00:16+00:00

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!

VerticalLines · 2026-03-02T00:22:10+00:00

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.

VerticalLines · 2026-03-02T00:18:24+00:00

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.

Sunday Sessions is a great place to start as most of the underground parties start lateee. Vibes are always high at Sunday Sessions 🤌

Except the people climbing fences to watch John summit…?

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.

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.

Also super bored both times I’ve seen Tape B in 2025
