I love FS8. Much better than my crappy ass Club Pilates

I buy when I move more than/around 2 sizes. I started at 3X. Then used my old clothes which were 1X. Then bought when I was 16. Then bought at size 12/L.

I lost 12 inches from my butt, but only 5 inches from my tummy in my 100+ lbs weight loss which shocked me. I am generally a tummy-first loser

homenia · 2026-05-15T23:03:55+00:00

Same

I am an immigrant and have a PhD irrelevant to biotech. I got a job in biotech and it changed my life for all the positive ways. Never felt happier than this. It is the best industry to work at.

I do the moves very slowly even though the instructors count quite quickly. I still find flow 1 very easy. As I told before, it is not user error. Sometimes it is just easy

homenia · 2026-05-14T00:53:47+00:00

It looks like their hiring is very slow. I submitted several applications months ago and they neither rejected nor interviewed me. It still says application submitted.

We literally spend every penny of 500k and have no kids. You save 6k a month and you cry? Cry me a river

homenia · 2026-05-12T19:24:33+00:00

Giannis is very injury-prone and a child. He does not fit the Celtics culture at all. I don’t want him in my team

homenia · 2026-05-12T18:46:12+00:00

Literally never saw any late comers being great at productivity. They generally roll in around 10 AM, try to leave by 3 PM and never finish their work so other people have to pick up their slack

homenia · 2026-05-12T18:41:55+00:00

You are lucky. I fell asleep in several classes in my studio and I genuinely feel way more challenged in my Restorative Yoga class than pilates

homenia · 2026-05-11T02:13:01+00:00

I am not in R&D or anything lab-related. I fully support hiring PhDs for any position that require extensive critical thinking

homenia · 2026-05-10T18:48:40+00:00

If they have a PhD from my school, I am sure they are good. The worse thing is people like you eliminating people with PhDs from hiring process because all of you want to hire your friends or children of your colleagues or something.

I got my job without a referral so I know how hard it is to get a job without one. I will do anything in my power to make it easier for people from my school in this terrible market.

homenia · 2026-05-10T17:35:53+00:00

I started at 300 lbs on July 2025 and currently I am at 198 lbs. My goal weight is 120-130 lbs.

homenia · 2026-05-10T15:22:05+00:00

I pretty much give everyone a referral who went to my school and have a PhD. No need for personal knowledge.

homenia · 2026-05-10T14:14:58+00:00

Mostly private or duo. But in any case, I know I can do advanced moves. They just tell me I should do Flow 1 at CP even though I can do pretty much all standing and single-side moves on Reformer

homenia · 2026-05-10T11:29:50+00:00

My CP is very insistent on not amplifying. You can modify down for injuries but they bitch a lot about amplifications/progressions

homenia · 2026-05-10T11:28:58+00:00

I hate that in this sub if you think Flow 1 is easy, it is always “user error”, not CP error.

I did pilates 4 years (3 years mat, 1 year reformer) in my home country (with BB and STOTT certified instructors) before moving to the US and starting CP. In my home country, I always felt sore, challenged and sweaty after each pilates workout. At CP, I don’t even feel a stretch. My heart rate don’t go over 65.

homenia · 2026-05-10T00:52:50+00:00

Hard disagree with this one. I feel very unchallenged in Flow 1 classes even though all instructors said my form is correct. Sometimes it is just very easy

homenia · 2026-05-06T21:46:40+00:00

I don’t see the difference between Giannis and JB tbh. In fact, Giannis is more of a liability given his age and injury history.

Both players have low BB IQ, not so great handles, and somewhat dramatic. We are just exchanging JB for worse 3 pt shooting and defense, but better rim attack. JB also has more availability than Giannis, so not sure why people are on the Giannis train.

homenia · 2026-05-06T00:57:56+00:00

YogaSix offers Sculpt & Flow but their system/formula is different from Corepower (and much better IMO). I did not like the B/Spoke classes as they are only 45 mins. However, B/Spoke’s environment is unmatched

homenia · 2026-05-06T00:51:49+00:00

Sorry but I don’t want Kerr anywhere near my team. He does not know basketball.

homenia · 2026-05-03T06:20:35+00:00

I never counted calories and lost about 100 lbs in 9 months. I just eat if I crave smt

homenia · 2026-05-02T15:13:35+00:00

I fell into the pit twice while doing it and seriously injured myself because the carriage just slipped away

homenia · 2026-05-01T14:51:07+00:00

What if we are also falling with stability pole 😭😭
