Pain: 💀💀💀💀💀

Ok… do you do regular Pilates? Does that just not hurt enough for you? Try any kind of Lagree-type Pilates and that will change your outlook on things. I will preface with the fact that I’m the absolute opposite type of person that would enjoy Pilates. I have built my body through sport and martial art activities that require short bursts of intense energy (keyword: short). So when this tiny lady tells me to stick my butt out and squat SLOWER, there is a burning pain, coupled with intense rage that bubbles inside me. No other activity other than Pilates makes me feel like my body is being torn asunder; jiu jitsu comes close, but even then you can just tap when the pain is too much. Pilates is the absolute worst form of torture for me. Megaformer and Lagree-type Pilates are a level beyond that, think Pilates on PEDs…. I absolutely hate it… I’m going again next week.
Facilities are super clean and modern. But parking is paid. $4 doesn’t break the bank, but it does add up if you want to go often - it’s an extra ~$50 a month if you go 3-4 times per week and can’t just walk there or find street parking. No showers either, and if you’re anything like me, you are going to be damp after one of these classes.
