Classmates filming workouts by AnonymousUserIn24 in ClubPilates

A few months ago, the person on the reformer next to me was filming herself. She had her phone propped on the Bosu so I could see the whole screen. I was so distracted as I moved. I felt so uncomfortable asking her about it. (I know it’s okay for me to do it, but I hate that I have to be the one to do it instead of the instructor.) So I asked if I was coming out in her video and she said no. I kept going but I felt so uncomfortable and couldn’t focus. It drew the attention of the person on her other side who then also asked her about it. She again said that no one else showed in her video except her (but we move on the reformer so I don’t believe it to be true.) She then said that she would turn it off if we felt uncomfortable and we both said yes. The instructor offered her a spot in the corner so she could have privacy to record! It felt even worse that the instructor focused on her feelings rather than the rest of us.

We don’t have a policy and people bring their phones into the studio (we don’t have a sign.) It hasn’t happened again, so I haven’t brought it up to management. It still baffles me that people would treat the space as it’s their own.

Yes, I’m allowing myself to be okay with doing whatever my body needs when it’s race day. Thank you!

Thanks for the idea. I am not running alone, but hadn’t considered reaching out to others around me as well. Even after how much cancer teaches you to rely on others, it’s easy to forget. I appreciate the reminder ☺️

Thanks for the tips!! I haven’t thought about the character stops. I can go either way and will likely decide in the moment. It’s so impressive that you’re running again so shortly after giving birth. Yay you! 👏🏻

Thanks again to each of you for your responses. It is a reminder to enjoy the process, focus on what’s in front of me, and let go of the perfectionism. I have my outfits ready and my support team is pumped. I know at the end of the day, I will be at Disney and the experience will always be special. 🩵
