初めて ピラティスをやってみた 2021年、それはとても挑戦的だったので、二度と戻らないと誓った。しかし、最近、私の中の1つで、 , クラブピラティスの店の前を通りかかったのですが、以前訪れたスタジオよりもはるかに親しみやすそうだったので、試してみようという気になりました。
Even though I skipped the free 30-minute introductory course Club Pilates offers and dove right into a level-one Reformer Flow class, during the actual session I never felt like I was working too hard; I wasn't profusely sweating or breathing too heavily. But I certainly felt the burn in the days after.
以下に私のクラブピラティスの完全な（そして正直な）レビューをご覧ください。
クラブピラティスとは何ですか?
Club Pilates は、ピラティスをベースにした革新的なワークアウト スタジオのチェーンであり、全米だけでなくドミニカ共和国、ドイツ、シンガポールなど海外にも拠点を置いています。) 革新的なピラティスワークアウト , Club Pilatesでは、TRX、Exo-Chairs、Bosu Ball、ダンベル、マット、ローラーを使用したクラスを提供しています。
同社は 2007 年にサンディエゴで設立されました。Club Pilates が提供するテクニックには、古典的なピラティスメソッドのいくつかのアップデート、つまり参加者がクラス中に使用する機器の拡張が含まれています。しかし、同社の中核となるサービスとトレーニング方法は、ピラティスの創始者であり同名のジョセフ・ピラティスの哲学に触発されています。
クラブピラティスってどんな感じ？
Put simply, Club Pilates is as approachable as a fitness class can get. The location I went to looks like a regular Pilates studio. There are boxes, foam rollers, reformers, rings, weights, and yoga mats. The studio is adorned with mirrors along the walls adjacent to the reformers so that you can see (and correct, when necessary) your form.

クラブピラティスで一番気に入ったのは、スタッフがフレンドリーで親切なことです。私のインストラクター、 ミーガン・ウォレス , made each of us feel really comfortable on our reformers. She provided clear instructions, gently reminded us to work with our breath, and gave us positive feedback when she heard us doing so. And while this is a small detail, at the end of class Wallace nudged us to spray and wipe down our reformers, and each participant did so happily. To me, this display of hygiene and gym etiquette always bodes well for a class's cleanliness and overall vibes.
Club Pilates には Equinox のような設備はありませんが、バスルームには、Batiste Dry Shampoo や Dove Spray-On Deodorant などのお気に入りが豊富に揃っています。私はピラティス後に友人と会っていてリフレッシュする必要があったので、これらの特典は特にありがたかったです。

あなたの持ち物を保管するためのカビーもあります ノースハリウッドの場所 訪れました。とてもゆったりしていて、トートバッグ、サンダル、水筒、サングラスを余裕で入れられました。棚はかなり広く、リフォーマーよりもカビーの数が多いように見えるので、（遅れていても）カビーを見つけるのは問題ありません。
クラブピラティスは良いトレーニングですか?
Even at level one, I'd say that Club Pilates is a good workout. Throughout the entire Reformer Flow class, I didn't really sweat. And while I did struggle during several moves, the class as a whole didn't feel super challenging, so I didn't think that I actually got a good workout in. But when I woke up the next day, my abs were sore. I couldn't even giggle without feeling my core hurt a bit. To me, that's the sign of a solid workout.

4つあります さまざまなレベルのクラス at Club Pilates, starting off super easy at level one. From here, the classes ascend in difficulty by half a point measure at a time, with the highest level of difficulty for a given class being 2.5. Not all classes go this high, though. The Restore class only goes up to 1.5, and certain locations may not offer all difficulty levels. (The NoHo studio's Reformer Flow class only goes up to level 2, for instance.)
There are also different types of classes, including Cardio Sculpt (high intensity), Center + Balance, Control, Restore, Suspend (the TRX-based class), F.I.T. (bootcamp style), and teen. If you're looking for the best or most difficult workout, Wallace recommends the highest level Reformer Flow.
But another sign that Club Pilates is more concerned with making sure everyone gets the best workout for them, versus just filling classes: to sign up for Reformer Flow 2, participants need instructor approval, Wallace says. 'This class is for clients with extensive reformer experience, as it focuses on balance, strength, and advanced Pilates movements using lighter spring tension,' she says. If you don't have the experience but want to work hard, your instructor can help point you to a more appropriate class to help you build the experience you need. Wallace notes that the first two levels can still give you a good workout, especially if you focus on engaging your core and keeping the right form.
Regardless of the difficulty level or class that you choose, Club Pilates is a welcoming space where folks don't judge each other. I felt comfortable taking the modifications Wallace offered and never felt like people were staring at me or thinking that I was unfit. And that's the kind of energy that'll keep me coming back to a group workout.
クラブピラティスの注目すべき点
While I had a great time and will be returning, I'd be remiss not to mention that I felt a little out of place at first. My class was full of white-presenting people, and I was one of two women of color. That said, once the class started, those things didn't matter — again, a credit to the welcoming ethos of Club Pilates and the warmth of my instructor. We were all there to move our bodies in a judgment-free zone. I got out of my head and just started doing the movements. (Also, of course, the makeup of your class will depend on where your studio is located and even when you go: though my class was mostly white, the intro class at 5 p.m. had only women of color in it, so I could tell it was a welcoming space.)
また、事前に知っておく価値があります。すべてのクラスでグリップ ソックスが必要です。自分で持っていくこともできますし、スタジオの店舗で約 20 ドルで購入することもできます。
クラブピラティスが適している人
After attending a Club Pilates class for myself, I highly recommend it to anyone who's curious about Pilates, including those who are new to the workout modality and especially people who've been put off by it before. It's a great workout, although if you're looking for something super sweaty or intense, you may want to sample one of the more difficult offerings on the Club Pilates menu. Regardless, the folks at Club Pilates made the class less intimidating and reassured me at every turn, which is exactly what I want to get out of my fitness class.
