I think the best Reddit story is the guy panicking after signing up for a Pilates course while high on shrooms. He posted an update a year later letting us know he passed and was offered an interview for a studio. We haven't heard from him since, I think he went on to join the army.
All I can say is that after hearing the first two comments, I am confident that getting a reformer to use at home with no one else around me when I use it is the BEST choice I could have made. 😆 Aaand, my fantasy ending to the last story is the BF taking an advanced Pilates mat class. I bet he would cry!
my favorite genre of tiktok is people who think pilates is no big deal subsequently getting their a***** handed to them in a class, lol 😅 and thankfully the shenanigans of the first two stories are the exception and not the rule, lol
I've been to several studios where the instructor brings their dog to class. None are advertised as a dog friendly classes...I've never seen a member bring their dog to a class though. Does that hit differently if it's the instructor vs. a student? That at least solves the 'know their schedule to avoid the dog' because then you can avoid those instructors....It's several instructors at several studios and honestly didn't realize this is unusual.
That is so interesting! Is it a good thing, a neutral thing, or a deterrent for you? I’ve honestly never seen it - I suppose it comes down to studio policy? But IMO, it would be best if on the studio’s part if members are made clear on that policy before they attend.
@@MelanieLopezPilates I love dogs in any setting so it doesn't bother me at all and I personally really enjoy the dogs in class. However, I have family/friends that are terrified of dogs and recognize that not all people are dog people for many reasons so 100% get that it could be a deterrent. Makes me curious if these studios have gotten complaints. If so, it seems the dogs have won because they continue to come.
A service dog should not be leaving her side at all. Speaking as someone with a service dog. Emotional support animals DO NOT HAVE PUBLIC ACCESS RIGHTS per the ADA. If it’s not a service dog, it should be disclosed in the class description for those who are highly allergic, or just terrified of dogs.

omg, I had never heard of this one!! sounds like gold. banking it for a sequel… PLEASE share more reddit story leads if you have them 😅
That last story made me so mad. He expected a complete newbie to keep up with his gym bro standards. Not ok. Your response was perfect.
right?! i hope some perspective has been gained since then...

This is why I workout at home too!
It’s definitely simpler!

@eialirt8599 “the dogs have won” I loled. It sounds very cute to me, though I get that dogs are not everyone’s cup of tea. Tough call

Good points!
