Question for Pilates instructors & regulars 👀

Hi everyone! 😊
Ive been trying different studios because i want to experience different teaching styles and see what works best.

I just wanted to ask, sa Pilates Reformer ba, normal ba na maraming sets and reps? I recently tried one studio where we did one movement for 5 sets of 10 reps, and medyo na-surprise lang ako because the other studios ive been to weren't like that.

I'm a bit confused if that's a normal approach or if it just depends on the instructor or studio.
Please enlighten me. Thank you!

trying pilates this month!

Hi! I’m the one who posted prev looking for a studio and a beginner who prev got traumatized and injured (muscle exhaustion) after my cycling classes.

As someone who’s scared and not sure about my body capacity when working out, is it alright to start like this in order every week? So my body can adapt and also I am working out at home by watching yt videos so I will be ready.

In order: (every week this July-August)
- hatha yoga
- vinyasa yoga
- barre basics
- private pilates
- reformer group pilates
- total barre?

what should i add, remove, or interchange in the order? Like add more private sessions etc.

Thank you!

How long did you actually see results in Pilates?

Im someone working on a desk job with minimal walk for 12yrs and recently started doing pilates. Its my 6th session and im loving it so far! I love the energy starting early gives me and the ocassional burn i feel on sessions.

Just wondering when do you actually see result? Do u have to do strength training separately? I can only commit to once a week due to my work but im trying to squeeze some mat home workouts now in between.

Im open to trying other workout classes to mix with pilates- preferably with a coach who can check my form.

Hot Barre/Sculpt/Flow

Hello! Just wanted to ask if someone tried Hot classes from Connect Pilates Co sa Greenhills San Juan?

For context, I’m currently torn between Reformer Pilates & Barre classes. Nakapag 12+ casses na ako with reformer but I’m more than okay with my posture, core, etc. I’m leaning more on toning muscles, loosing or maintaining weight.

I’m also doing cardio during weekdays. Yup, I don’t like going to the gym kasi na-cconscious or anxious ako sa environment. 😅

Just wanted to ask your thoughts. Thanks! 🤍

Pinay pala si Move With Nicole

Or half-Filipino, because her mom pala is Filipino. I'd been following her classes on YouTube for more than two years, using them to supplement my in-person reformer classes, when I finally found this out. What happened was that I belatedly discovered her Spanish-language channel where she teaches the same classes, but in Spanish, and she explains in her bio that she learned Spanish from her Spanish-Filipina mom. Here's her Spanish-language channel where she gives that info (and in case you'd like to follow her classes in Spanish, hehe).

I know I sound like one of those idiots who's eager to claim any random celebrity who happens to be half or quarter Filipino, pero natouch rin ako when I saw this interesting tidbit about Move With Nicole because my first ever Pilates class was taught by her, before I signed up for classes at my local reformer studio. I still like her a lot because she has such positive vibes and she gently encourages me to push my body to its limits--though these days I mix it up with Lottie Murphy (great for proper form) and Flow with Mira (actually puro YouTube pilates nalang ako sa bahay since I like these teachers and I feel like my form is good enough for me to follow them competently). Wouldn't it be neat if she could teach workshops sa Pinas? Ang galing lang niya as an encouraging instructor who gives clear cues and makes you feel good about your own progress. Tapos Pinay pa siya. So the next time I'm following her side crunch series, I'll just feel our kinship through the screen and "keeep going" as she says!

Are coaches affected if classpass booking?

I have my go to studio near me here in QC and their group package costs me 1,000php and i always get their packages

But i recently discovered classpass and saw na 5 or 6 credits lang so i decided to book thru them.

I got shamed by one of the coaches na bakit daw ako nag class pass dapat sa ibang studio nalang kasi wala daw sila kita?

I go pilates 4x a week ( 2 times package from them and 2 times classpass para makatipid)

I know loyalty and all, but i wanna save too but not to the point the coaches will suffer. Can coaches here enlighten me?

Went to Onelife for 3 years…I would not recommend if you care about the coaches

As the title says, I’ve been going to Onelife San Juan for 3 years (since July 2023). I initially loved it at first - my coach for 2 years was very attentive, clearly very knowledgeable about pilates, physical therapy, etc and always adjusted my program to my current workouts, pain for the day (I have some chronic conditions), and any requests I have.

And at first it was great! I had chronic back pain for more than 10 years and that went away with more sessions. I finally got a stronger core (can actually do a situp?), and just generally feel fitter and stronger, allowing me to do more activities I could not before.

But after my coach left last year, everything went downhill at my branch as scheduling got difficult and the quality of service went down. This year, more than 5 coaches left my branch despite being so booked and busy the year prior. After some prying I found out that management has been horrible to them - forcing them to work Sundays with no pay, withholding promotions or denying them promotions for no good reason (despite them asking for metrics they could measure so they could determine if they could get promoted or not), and not giving them any pilates certifications that are transferrable if ever they do decide to leave. I have also been told of unfair dismissals from other coaches, which I encouraged to report to DOLE.

It’s sad because I think the coaches at Onelife, particularly in San Juan, are the heart of the business. They are all clearly knowledgeable and they really do their own research to make a pilates session curated for their clients. It is also their first branch so I thought service would be best here, but coaches have mentioned to me that they felt left behind because the business was so hyperfixated on the shiny new branches. My theory is that they expanded too quickly (Alabang, Shang, etc in a short period of time) without training enough coaches.

So I’m just letting my credits run out this July and I can’t say I recommend them as much as I used to. Just wanted people on here to know not to support a business that clearly doesn’t care about their employees.

Anyone here trained with PAIM?

I was originally planning to enroll at Vivian’s Studio since it seems to be one of the most recommended studios. Unfortunately, their July and September Anatomy & Reformer courses are already fully booked.

I’m now considering enrolling in Pilates Academy International Manila (PAIM) for their Quarter 3 schedule.
Has anyone here completed their instructor training at PAIM? How was your experience in terms of the quality of education, instructors, and overall preparation for teaching? I’d really appreciate any honest feedback. Thanks!

What's your opinion on creatine as a woman who does Pilates?

I've always associated creatine with bodybuilders and gym-goers, but lately I've seen more women talking about it for strength, recovery, and overall fitness.

For women (especially mums) who do Pilates:

  • Have you tried creatine?
  • If yes, what was your experience?
  • If no, what's holding you back?
  • When you hear "creatine," what's the first thing that comes to mind?

Genuinely curious how people see it these days.
