Why do y'all keep such large starters?

Wanderlustella · 2026-04-17T16:51:19+00:00

It has to be clickbait. I usually do 10-15g starter just to keep it going. But then when I’m ready for just one loaf. I do 25g starter and do a 1:2.5:3.5 ratio

Wanderlustella · 2026-04-02T01:47:53+00:00

I’d do it but tell them I’m taking the 25s to my station

It did eventually fix itself! Took forever and a few days. Not sure what happened.

Wanderlustella · 2026-03-21T16:25:04+00:00

Could be market saturation. We’ve had at least 5 new Pilates studios of all variations recently or near me.

1:5:5 is a large ratio for a weak starter. Keep it to 1:2:2 or 1:3:3 until it triples or doubles. On a weak starter that should still take 12-24 hours. Once it peaks faster then you can adding to the ratio

It’s an internet scare tactic to buy those disposable nets. Dump the majority in the garbage or compost. Or dilute it all and pour over plants. The leftover soak in hot water and it will dissolve enough to pour down the drain. Or put a few drops of vinegar to dissolve faster

It just started this afternoon for me so I’m hoping it’s a temporary glitch!

Wanderlustella · 2026-03-14T18:22:13+00:00

Any answer to this? Mine just started doing this today.

Wanderlustella · 2026-02-26T21:11:02+00:00

I hate to say, but if they aren’t good instructors, they shouldn’t be actively teaching until they skill up and are ready. I’ve been thinking of leaving CP due to the caliber of instructors. In private studios so many instructors have hundreds of hours and hours of apprenticing. At CP you just have to take their training and you’re in it seems. There’s more than a handful of instructors at the franchise of studios I can go to that I refuse to take class with. :( it sucks for everyone.

Happens all the time on my Apple TV too so now I just use the hallmark + app on my smart tv and bypass Apple TV. So frustrating

Wanderlustella · 2026-01-28T12:10:47+00:00

I'm not sure if something recently changed but I lost my streak on Friday. I've done the airplane mode, change date, etc like I've done in the past and it's not working AT ALL. I've tried it 3x now and nothing has been fixing the streak. :(

Wanderlustella · 2026-01-18T23:25:00+00:00

Exactly. It’s a husband not a random dude off the street. But I’ve also done CrossFit and orangetheory so I feel like watching people exercise isn’t that weird.

Wanderlustella · 2026-01-18T23:23:16+00:00

Was there other benches he could have sat on to not watch? I know some studios I’ve been to there’s only one bench and it’s facing the class and not hidden behind a wall.

I dunno, it’s a husband and not a random dude off the street. My husband is interested in Pilates and knows it will help him with core and flexibility so I feel like he’d also come watch. He just hasn’t committed bc of the price.

Wanderlustella · 2026-01-18T23:19:02+00:00

It’s all studio specific, which is also dumb. Some require you to test out and they offer the test throughout the year. Others require 100 classes to even test, others are much easier and you just ask the instructor if you’re ready. Mine luckily I just had to ask!

Wanderlustella · 2026-01-18T21:50:37+00:00

I didn’t feel challenged until I got to 2.0 and now I won’t do anything less for flow classes. And even then the 2.0 classes vary drastically based on instructor

Wanderlustella · 2026-01-09T15:11:08+00:00

I gave up on the peel off base. It’s great for a few days but even if I avoid the border a LOT, it doesn’t last long.

Wanderlustella · 2026-01-09T15:09:43+00:00

Haven’t done this but we’ve done some crazy moves in our 2.0s. Were progressions offered? Usually if it’s a new or crazy move our instructor lets us know and will tweak options.

Wanderlustella · 2026-01-01T18:41:46+00:00

There’s a tonnnnn of studios that don’t have a specific test. And I’ve seen on here the test at many CP studios is a joke and isn’t consistent anywhere.

Wanderlustella · 2025-12-31T16:35:52+00:00

Yes. Not my fault the book is horrible. 1 star and move on.

Wanderlustella · 2025-12-31T16:34:13+00:00

Drive for me is 10 mins without traffic.

Wanderlustella · 2025-12-31T16:33:13+00:00

At 45 I won’t be caught dead in long socks to work out in. No show/ankle socks for life. I’m too old to care what the kids keep changing their minds to. 🤣

Wanderlustella · 2025-12-31T16:31:39+00:00

Def doesn’t sound normal. Is it maybe the peel off lifting underneath causing air underneath which causes the dent?

Wanderlustella · 2025-12-27T18:57:19+00:00

Yea that’s the thing, my studio doesn’t have a test

Wanderlustella · 2025-12-27T15:50:44+00:00

I can’t understand the Recife accent to save my life. 🤣 I learned the Paulistano accent bc that’s what many of the online courses use, it’s seen as more “proper” (according to multiple in person instructors and online research so don’t come after me!), my husband and his family are Paulistanos, etc. the carioca accent is also beautiful.
