Hot Barre Sculpt is NEXT LEVEL. 🔥 There’s just no other way to say it.

I haven’t been able to get into one of Karen Mitchell’s classes in forever — one time doesn’t work with my schedule, and the other consistently has something like a 15-person waitlist. And there’s a reason for that. When you find a great instructor, you hold onto them…and apparently keep going back for the punishment. 😂

Because ladies, this is NOT a walk in the park.

Today was an ass-kicking, humbling, “I may actually die here” kind of class — and I loved every second of knowing I DID IT.

I talk about this all the time: perfection is in the progress. There is no magical place where you suddenly arrive at “perfect.” You just keep challenging yourself. Even in a class you’ve taken 100 times, you can go heavier, dig deeper, modify when you need to, and meet your body wherever it is that day.

If everything always feels easy, you’re probably not challenging yourself enough. Our bodies need to be pushed, strengthened and cared for — especially as women.

I will say it over and over: our bodies are our greatest health insurance. Taking care of them is one of the most important things we can actually control. Pour into your own cup. Move your body. Build your strength. Challenge yourself. 💪🏼

Thank you, Karen Mitchell, for once again completely humbling me and reminding me that there is ALWAYS another level.

And yes…I’ll be back for more punishment. 😂🔥

Perfection is in the progress. Always. Thank you Amy and Christine for being next to me! Your energy in class is always on point💪🏻💥 #womensupportwomen #strongwomen #womenfitness #womenwholift #menopause taken in Sweat New York by @ignite.pilates

My journey to becoming a Pilates instructor began as a student … and part of my continued learning is staying one. 🤍
Wednesdays start with my 6am class, then I’m back on the mat for two more classes with some of my favorite people.
Always learning.

Every Tuesday for the last 6 weeks, @sofpanlilio showed up for me.
We worked through flow, sequences, music, and all the details that brought my Mat Pilates Sculpt classes to life.
As she moves onto her next adventure, I’ll be forever grateful she was here for the beginning of mine. 🤍 by @ignite.pilates
