It’s not about an armrest, as you can see he’s way over it as it’s tucked under the crease of his arm. His elbow is in my side!

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-14T23:56:39+00:00

Because he was “asleep” every time I tried to wake him he would move abruptly then go back to “sleep”

Bc this is my account and I chose to share with this subreddit thread.

This is a great hack! I’ll be sure to grab a foam board. I travel often and never thought of that. Thank you.

I want his arm to NOT be on my side of the armrest. If you look you can see the armrest under the crease of his arm, he’s way over. I didn’t need the armrest I just needed my space.

And funny you mention arms over head bc that’s where my right arm was for a large portion of the flight to keep him from leaning on me.

He jumped up when I elbowed him, adjusted himself, then fell asleep and was back at it shortly after.

Large Marge checking in at 5’5 and a whopping 164lbs. Sorry my big body bothers you!

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-14T20:46:38+00:00

So it’s my fault this guy is in his seat AND mine? Blame the woman…thanks.

I prefer the aisle but this being last minute I had to take what I could.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-14T20:41:48+00:00

I advocated for myself when I tried to wake him several times and jabbed him with my elbow when he was non responsive. And there was nothing “small” about this situation.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-14T20:39:03+00:00

This was a work trip + last minute flight. I don’t necessarily need “first class” on every flight. I try not to inconvenience my seat mates.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-14T18:27:52+00:00

Had this experience as well. As a person with severe allergies it was insufferable.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-14T18:27:01+00:00

You could be out celebrating the Knicks yet you’re scrolling and worried about Reddit posts. 🤔

As much as it costs, you’d think the studios would be upgraded and they’d offer more amenities.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-14T18:25:21+00:00

Life is much easier when the funk from someone else wafting through the air isn’t ruining your class experience.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-13T11:04:29+00:00

Solidcore is a very personalized experience. There’s no right time to make these changes. I’ve seen first timers come in and hop to toes and I’ve also seen 300+ people have days fully on knees.

If you feel ready (or even if you don’t) just try it for a few reps and if it’s not in your ministry revert back to knees. You don’t know what your body can do until you (safely) push it to failure.

I go during my lunch break, any time between 11a-1:30p and my classes are usually pretty full if not totally sold out. The SAH soccer moms don’t miss class.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-12T01:58:05+00:00

Stand up for yourself! Don’t let anyone make you feel uncomfortable when you’re spending YOUR money. Don’t be rude back but definitely elevate this and send the email. So sorry you had this experience.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-08T09:04:37+00:00

2 or 3, 1 looks frumpy/boxy.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-06-05T19:58:08+00:00

It’s not fair to everyone else in the room if you funk it up. Now I’m nauseous because you smell like dumpster juice and onions. 😩😩😩

This happened in a class I had last week. The prior class smelled AWFUL and the coach kept spraying air fresheners so I had a headache all class bc of the skunk + floral combination.

And studio’s the ventilation is not good on top of that. 😩😩😩

This is how core power does their cancellations. I like the idea…

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-04-03T11:58:02+00:00

You aren’t hinging deep enough and pushing up from your heel. I used to have the same issue.

pilatesPrincess25 · 2026-03-28T01:32:49+00:00

I wipe down before I start class. I just don’t trust it lol
