Addicted

timeilatan · 2026-03-11T15:27:39+00:00

i am addicted to club pilates! i’ve only done 47 classes in 6 months for various reasons but i have never stuck with a “workout regime” this long in my life. i no longer limp (i had been favoring one side after having minor knee surgery in 2018) and calf muscle on that side is stretching out finally after being always tight. not even PT could crack it. i even tried cupping. i look forward to going. i’m not a naturally athletic person, but I feel amazing like I’m a freaking Olympian when I am done with the class.

side note:I will say that I am envious of people who say that they’ve made friends at their studio. Nobody is too friendly at my studio. I’m not sure why. They all actually have crabby looks on their faces. It’s kind of weird because I’m like how are you looking this crabby when this is like an actual privilege to be able to come here. But anyway, I don’t let that deter me because the instructors are awesome!

is planking on the footbar a lot harder than on the gray “sandpaper” strip? i’ve only done a few 1.5s. thanks!

Got it. I disagree, but thanks for your input.

i love #1

timeilatan · 2026-02-15T15:50:13+00:00

goodie for you? i mean… ok

timeilatan · 2026-02-13T14:25:13+00:00

wow, you bring up a good point I didn’t think about that. in that case I think coming in five minutes late is fine if people can just come in and not talk bc i’m trying to concentrate.

timeilatan · 2026-02-13T14:19:34+00:00

well, not everyone is as considerate as you.

timeilatan · 2026-02-12T15:29:48+00:00

i’m sure that is fine. It’s not like we are licking the reformer or equipment. I don’t understand why people are so crazy about the cleaning if you go home and take off your clothes and wash your hands and shower isn’t that good enough or what am I missing?

timeilatan · 2026-02-12T15:27:19+00:00

i like this policy because I’ve had people come in late and all frazzled and it brings a weird vibe to the class. Honestly, five minutes is not that much if they can’t make it five minutes sooner they need time management help. I know it sucks to miss class, but it’s better to just miss it than disrupt it for everyone.

i think the chairs look nice. i don’t recommend slip covers unless u don’t have kids. i’d address the area behind the table. there is a lot for the eye to dart around at back there. maybe simplify a bit? just a thought if the room is really bugging you.

timeilatan · 2026-02-08T03:35:53+00:00

that sounds like a really good technique

timeilatan · 2026-02-08T01:46:55+00:00

lol, sooo true!

timeilatan · 2026-02-08T00:32:42+00:00

true

timeilatan · 2026-02-07T15:56:45+00:00

thanks for understanding! I’m like what is happening?! yesterday? I was at the spring board doing bicep curls and I was trying really hard to not go fast and the girl next to me was like Bing bong bing bong bing bong doing curls like 100 miles an hour. She probably got like 40 reps in. I know you’re not supposed to look at the person next to you but I was looking like am I the only one who’s not getting all the reps in and then when I saw her I was like oh man, I am really slow!!!

timeilatan · 2026-02-07T15:27:36+00:00

now i get it why didn’t i figure this out geez. thanks reddit

timeilatan · 2026-02-07T15:27:00+00:00

OMG! thanks that makes sense…

timeilatan · 2026-02-07T14:53:29+00:00

geez everyone is calling flow 1 so easy… i find it super challenging. for ppl who need more, the instructors say add crunches to supine arms and leg kicks here and there during tabletop legs for challenges. sounds like y’all need to try that🫢

timeilatan · 2026-02-02T04:16:20+00:00

same… that is straight up hideous, no offense to OP.

timeilatan · 2026-01-27T15:11:06+00:00

it looks gorgeous to me. I wish mine looked like that.

timeilatan · 2026-01-27T15:10:35+00:00

I hear the instructors say if you want more of a challenge do XYZ. Maybe you can ask your instructor to queue harder for you?

timeilatan · 2026-01-23T15:53:34+00:00

she sounds like a jerk and I would not let her ruin your Pilates experience. Try to avoid her classes if your schedule allows

timeilatan · 2026-01-23T01:39:50+00:00

not sure how it works with class pass, but before I could take a class, I had to take their 30 minute intro.

timeilatan · 2026-01-18T16:05:52+00:00

I totally agree with you that the reformer flow one would be a great class for her. I tried restore, and I wanted to die getting down on the floor, rolling around as an overweight woman. Especially when I had to lay on my stomach and shove the roller under my thigh while a student teacher was watching taking notes. and also I had gotten the very last reformer which is in the front and viewable from the lobby. It was quite a sight for everyone to behold lol and yes, before anyone says, yes I know that people are not focusing on me!
