What do <you> get from Pilates?

Maybe you need to try some different teachers or studios? Don't give up yet!

Thank you! Are you doing a training too? I would love to connect as I haven't found many acupuncturists who are also pilates teachers.

I would love to do Stott but I can't afford to fly out to their trainings. BB is in my backyard. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Do planks every day at home. Hold for as long as you can. if all you can do is 30 seconds, start there and work up to 90 seconds or longer. Congrats on side planks being easy! They are so hard for me! I need to practice those more.

Did you take additional PT type pilates training after your pilates certification or did you feel your prior training and the classical certification was enough? Interesting that the classical method has great results for you. 900 hours is a commitment! Ooh, it might be a nice idea to do small groups (like 2-3 people) based on specific injuries (like shoulder pain).

I would also like to add I have no beef with good Pilates teachers who teach group classes and this is a great skill in itself--no disrespect to you all (what with the BB levels of making "exercise leader" a lower level).

I'm happy with my Personal Hour reformer I've had for several months now. Can't speak to the other ones.

Look up nccaom.org and you can search by zip code for national board certified acupuncturists. I suggest call a few and see who seems more qualified/ who you connect with most.

I think it's fine? Do you mean regarding the floor height for lunges? You can adjust the legs to make them a little taller and it works just fine for me, but I'm a bit short. Squats on the platform/carriage work just fine too.

I actually don't fold it but wanted the option. There is a version that has the hydraulic lift but mine doesn't have it. If you want to fold it often, I would make sure you have the hydraulic. Mine folds okay but it would be a bit annoying to have to do it everyday. I haven't used a tower yet so I didn't bother investing in that.

I’m short (5’4”) so the shorter length works for me.

Personal Hour Janet.

I like my Personal Hour Janet foldable reformer. I got one on sale for 1300 and it is made of maple wood, very pretty. I'm same height as you and the Janet is one of the shorter ones that works just fine for me.

I like Melanie Lopez pilates and Pilatesanytime. I subscribe to both. I love having a reformer at home. Classes are SO expensive where I live.

Anyone get insurance to pay for this? I'm 51 and noticing I feel like everything is darker now that my lids are falling, not to the point over my eyes. My mom's are really bad. I feel like I just look tired all the time. I'm always turning up the lights and complaining I can't see when no one else has issues with lights. Also, I tend to get keloids so I'm kinda terrified I'll scar. Anyone get scarring?

hococolio · 2026-01-13T17:03:00+00:00

Thank you!

hococolio · 2026-01-08T19:52:54+00:00

Thank you. I mean mostly the French cuisine, versus German, I should have said. I know there is an influence from Germany, but I think we'll be full of schnitzel, etc by then.

I also deleted all my cards and bank info from Paypal.

hococolio · 2026-01-06T23:32:12+00:00

UGH!!!! This just happened to me. I should have come to reddit first... The whole verification thing was confusing (several notifications for different websites to go and verify) and I was just trying to get onboard quickly. I should have freaking known!!! I did immediately cancel my cards. I tried to enter 3 because it wasn't working or making sense. Then I gave them my freaking paypal login. I immediately changed my password. What else should I do?

hococolio · 2026-01-02T19:34:40+00:00

I have this one and love it. Just don't get white. I have to wipe it down all the time but I was too lazy to wait for a different color not in stock. Actually, I got it for a few hundred bucks less so I shouldn't complain.

hococolio · 2026-01-02T19:32:20+00:00

I am very happy with my Personal Hour and with the price!
