Pilates Reformer

Someone told me here that if you try a Reformer class you will get addicted and can confirm. I had to buy a subscription to add reformer classes to my schedule. Wearing one of my fav set in Lilac Play Align no line HR 6" Lettuce Hem tank submitted by /u/Pariszo to r/Lulufanatics [link] [comments]

When I started Pilates 2 1/2 years ago, I first tried Move with Nicole's Youtube beginner classes (which were already super hard for me back then) and paired them with in-person reformer pilates classes. I eventually moved overseas where I found reformer pilates even more challenging, and I supplemented my once a week in-person reformer classes with Nicole's beginner mat videos--even then sabi ko tama na ang beginner classes niya, they were challenging enough for me (since I'd come home from reformer class sore anyway). I've since returned to the Philippines and I decided to step away from studio classes after a few so-so and negative experiences (either classes that weren't challenging enough for my liking, or mataray instructors who weren't too encouraging, or fusion classes that didn't exactly feel like pilates, or entitled influencer types). I wanted more of a challenge too, and I've heard it said that mat pilates is tougher. To challenge myself, I started doing Move with Nicole's moderate level classes and Flow with Mira's intermediate classes (all free on YouTube). Ooohh despite my "challenging" reformer training abroad, both Nicole and Mira are kicking my ass. As a caveat, I would still recommend in-person classes to those starting out, with a certified instructor who can correct your form. But as someone who has been doing in-class reformer pilates for a while, I feel confident enough in my form to follow these online mat classes. It's just funny na andaming sumisipot sa Pilipinas na expensive gimmicks to "elevate" one's pilates practice, like heated reformer chorva etc, when all you need to get a proper ass-kicking is a Move with Nicole YouTube mat class that is completely FREE. I find also find her cues very clear and easy to follow, and sa totoo lang mas mabait at positive siya than a lot of the in-person teachers I've had sa Pinas. Siyempre it won't work for the clout-chasing folks who want to film themselves doing reformer pilates in a chic studio, but for those who just want to elevate their practice, all you really need is a mat and enough space in your living room/bedroom to follow these YouTube videos. Dumbbells and resistance bands are optional but not required, and you can get them from any sporting goods store. I used to be one of those silly people who thought that mat pilates was the "lesser" pilates because it used little to no equipment, but it has since humbled me--you need good form and a strong core to get through class, and the reformer isn't there to support you and make things easier. And the more you practice, the easier it gets! Even if you have no plans to abandon your reformer class, a teacher I used to have abroad said that mat work will make you better at reformer work (and she didn't frown upon free classes on YouTube, habang tinataasan ng kilay ng isang teacher ko sa Pinas lol). May mga in-person mat classes in case you like the social aspect of it and would still like a teacher present to correct your form, but unfortunately they're not as popular as reformer classes. I no longer take reformer classes but I do moderate-intermediate mat pilates 3x a week (alternating with cardio workouts), and strangely enough I feel stronger and fitter than when I was just doing reformer at the studio + beginner mat at home. I'm even losing weight! I also plan to try other YouTube pilates teachers to see what else is out there--balak kong i-try si Lottie Murphy based on recs from the /pilates subreddit. If you have favorite pilates apps or YouTube teachers, feel free to drop their names here! Favorite ko pa rin si Move with Nicole--her cues are so clear, I don't have to look at the screen all the time to know what I'm doing, and her videos are very well produced and easy to follow. Anyway, don't despair if you either can't afford reformer pilates anymore, or di mo type yung mga studios in your area, or tag-ulan na at mahirap nang mag commute to the nearest studio. Don't give up on pilates, andami niyang benefits even if you get it via chipipay YouTube. submitted by /u/That_Tale_44 to r/PilatesPhilippines [link] [comments]

Hi Pilates people, I’ve not been a Pilates person but am keen to get into reformer. These 4 places all appear to have “beginner” classes… any experiences? were they actually “beginner”? Aleenta Studio spring Hello Pilates Panacea submitted by /u/IntelligentBerry9193 to r/Adelaide [link] [comments]

one just opened near me in paris. no instructor. just screens and an app. you follow along on a tablet, nobody corrects your form, nobody checks your springs. it's basically a fancy gym with reformers and a screen. am i the only one who thinks this is kind of insane? bad form on a reformer can genuinely hurt you, especially beginners. and honestly what even is the point of pilates without real instruction? i'm working on opening my own small studio and seeing this made me feel some type of way. like is the industry really going toward cheap and automated? please tell me this is just a weird trend and not the future lol submitted by /u/Minute_Energy1861 to r/pilatesinstructors [link] [comments]

This example is a blatant promotion of disordered eating. Hilary herself had an eating disorder, so it’s hard to see her size referred to and her weight listed like this. It wouldn’t have been good for her, nor would it have been good for women and girls who compared themselves to her. Then, the actual diet. [TW] This diet comes to 1,108 calories, which is well below the amount of calories adult women should have, especially active adult women. If people are dieting to lose weight they should have a healthy calorie deficit, but this example fits into a larger pattern of disordered eating. She doesn’t have weight to lose! There’s also no mention of health or nutrition. The normalisation of adult women eating just over 1k calories a day is terrifying! Then to promote that degree of exercise on top of that! I can’t find exactly when this example is from but I think 2006. submitted by /u/AdrianaLaServing to r/WhyWereWeOkWithThis [link] [comments]

Studio nyitás Debrecenben Sziasztok🥰 A véleményetekre lennék kiváncsi. Debrecenben szeretnék pilates studiót nyitni. 4 db reformer géppel és 6 db talaj pilates hellyel. Első sorban pörgősebb órákra építeném fel a studiót. Pl.: HIIT reformer óra, Hot talaj pilates, Erősítő órák, Jumpboard reformer. Szerintetek erre mennyire lenne igény Debrecenben? Milyen megéléseitek vannak ezekkel az órákkal kapcsolatban? Illetve mennyire találjátok fontosnak, hogy a studio gyerek és állatbarát legyen, illetve SZÉP kártya elfogadóhely. Előre is köszönöm a hozzászólásokat és a tippeket!🥰🙏🏻 submitted by /u/Delicious-Advice5212 to r/Debrecen [link] [comments]
