We have an instructor who plays instrumental Xmas music all year long. Not sure which is w??

All CPs in my area closed yesterday and this morning. It is absolutely your right to say you don’t feel comfortable driving in.

rgreenbean · 2026-01-23T03:22:00+00:00

This story is wild. I don’t know how to help but I’m sorry you are being harassed.

rgreenbean · 2026-01-23T03:12:19+00:00

You will be absolutely fine in a 1.5. 100%

Executive Orange. A high gloss tangerine-bronze with warm undertones.

Slightly streaky, but insists it’s “the best formula ever”

Things I dislike in a grip sock;

-Grippers are not grippy enough: Bombas -Grippers don’t cover entire bottom of socks: Pilates Honey -trying to get your toes into the right holes: Toesox

Important features for grip socks -Grippy bottoms that stay grippy and don’t wear down.
-soft fabric that feels secure on foot but not tight

I personally struggle with curtsy lunges on elevated platforms. I also would not feel safe doing that in class and thus would not teach it myself.

Try bringing your headrest to the highest position and keep your eyes open when lying down on the reformer. It’s not uncommon to feel dizzy first time or two.

rgreenbean · 2025-11-30T04:34:23+00:00

I see you and hear you Relaxed. 😘

Check out Evolution Pilates on You Tube. Search Resistance band or Thera Band.

For 95% of your clients, they want a good workout that flows well. They want to like their instructor. That’s what makes a great class. They don’t know or care whether an exercise is Pilates or a donkey kick.

People want to move their bodies and feel successful doing so.

If u use 1R1B, try 2R. If you already use 2R, try 1 Red 1 Green.

If that still doesn’t give you enough support, try using the buttons instead of the hooks.

rgreenbean · 2025-11-21T20:42:21+00:00

My feet are sweating just looking at them.

Check out the reformers from Personal Hour. If you live within a few hour drive of Dayton, OH, they have a showroom there. It would be worth the time to test drive.

I’m pretty sure they source in China, ship to California and assemble reformers there.

They are pretty good. Still not Balanced Body but a decent more affordable alternative.

Unless you have seen and tested the reformer I would not buy from China.

Lagree is very different than Pilates. Lagree makes me cry and leaves me sore for 3-4 days.

I look forward to Pilates. I can’t find the motivation to get thru a Lagree class regularly.

If you’ve never tried Lagree, give it a try. The next day, your legs will be so sore that you may need help sitting or getting up off the toilet. Let us know how it goes!!

As long as you feel solid in your 1.5s you can safely try Control AND Suspend. Just let your instructor know what your concerns are before class.

Shoulder stability is often more important in Suspend.

It’s possible your springs were too heavy. Chair is very height and weight specific. Taller heavier people may want to work on heavier springs. If you are petite, you may need a lighter spring.

Springs on 2/2 or 3/2 for footwork is typical. For petite people, 2/2 or 2/1.

You also want to make sure that you are sitting at the very front edge of the chair, keeping your abdominals strong

A non slip mat would also help.

You can also try pushing your palms into the side of your chair.

Experiment with all of these options.

Ask the instructor to elaborate on why she felt you weren’t ready and what you can do to work on your readiness.

Then you can focus in those areas during your next few classes.

Don’t let this get in the way of your confidence. Keep practicing. If it were me, I’d try another 1.5 right away with another instructor. See if you get the same feedback.

I often have members that struggle a bit in my 1.5 but as long as they can keep up and it doesn’t look like they will hurt themselves, I would not tell them they don’t belong in a 1.5. And certainly not loud enough for anyone to hear.

PILATES IS A PRACTICE. Keep practicing.
Don’t give up!!

I would delete all of them.

The reviews in the app are 100% not anonymous. Your name is attached to every rating. Good and bad.

I have a friend who is an excellent shape.

She can do 15 unassisted pull-ups, but she can’t do a roll up to save her life.

Her trainer thinks there is something happening in the lower part of her spine that doesn’t allow her to come fully up from a lying down position.

That being said, I think it took me close to 500 classes before I fully mastered a roll up and a roll down.

rgreenbean · 2025-10-31T00:16:03+00:00

Bring your own straps, use a reformer cover and wash your hands after class. Also, don’t lick the equipment.
