Unpopular opinion: my first Pilates classes felt… too easy 🫣 both, on the reformer and the mat one 🥹

Maybe it’s because I come from years of yoga, have good mobility, and a strong core from weightlifting. Maybe it’s because I’m used to workouts that leave me drenched in sweat, questioning my life choices halfway through? 😂 dont get me wrong, I enjoyed it. It was fun. The reformer was definitely more challenging because I had just finished a heavy leg day and hit PRs before class on hip thrusts and Bulgarian split squats, my legs were already fighting for their lives. 🥹

I think I went into Pilates expecting a workout that would crush me physically, and maybe that’s not the point?? Maybe the goal is control, precision, stability, mobility, and moving your body in a different way. 👀

Will I replace weightlifting with Pilates? Absolutely not.

Will I keep trying different classes because I had fun? Yes.

For now, my honest review is: I understand the hype a little more, but I still don’t understand ALL the hype. 😂🤍
