FREE PILATES I REC TO TRY!⚡️

Hey zesties!

Considering trying pilates but dont wanna be pressured to buy an entire package yet? Dont worry! Try out CLASSPASS’s (CP) 14 days trials with 35 free credits! (Disclaimer: not sponsored)

My bf and i have been trying to get active by wanting to incorporate strength training and cardio workouts (but i hate running..) so we decided to re-download back our CP app cuz its been a 1-2 years since we last used and we are granted the free trial phew!!

⚡️My tots about classpass and whether its rlly cheaper than purchasing it from studio.

🌟pros: cheaper bcuz u can get $2.2/cred with the 30 days plan ($99 for 45 cred) and with normal pilates class, the cheaper ranges are 11-14 cred which means one class is around $24.2-$30.8 which is cheap for reformers cuz usual price is >$30 if you buy the normal packages from the studios unless u get those huge packages (which you would hv to pay $x000 for it at once💀🙀)

🌟pros: give you the flexibility to try and choose different workouts concurrently. You can do spin/bounce and pilates in the same week using one particular plan only- from CP only

🙊cons: as CP holders, we are unfortunately the second priority when it comes to booking for slots. For things like spin and reformers, the demand is so high but lack of supply… so even if you wake up at 5am (which is when the slots for CP are released), you might not even get those popular after work hours slots cuz they will be reserved for their studio package holders (bcuz they are paying much more, and bcuz they are like “members”)

🙊cons: you cannot choose the bike/reformer/trampoline you would be using so sometimes u might not be with your fren/not be infront of a mirror etcetc

1. THE FLOW PLAYGROUND

📍chinatown mrt

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: 5/5

Honestly out of the 3 studios we’ve tried, me and my bf loved this the most. I feel instructor really plays a huge part in deciding whether u would wanna commit and enjoy the routines. MICKY was such a professional instructor, observant to her students and shes rly humble and encouraging. Her routines are rlly all rounded, it rlly stretches u to the max, making use of all the equipment as much as possible. I sweated so much throughout her class cuz it rly strengthens ur core/joints/muscles.

Their amenities were honestly shocking. There were basic skincare provided like cleansing sheets/cotton pads/rubber bands🙀/shampoo/body wash/free towels (must return)/hair dryer🙊 etc they even have tiny apparels by the corner (super affordable local brands (im gatekeeping so visit them urself and find out!😋) can i j say their pilates socks are so so cute n good quality. $20/pair!

2. SG PILATES

📍Kembangan mrt

⭐⭐⭐⭐: 4/5

I love LINDA instructor too! Shes really friendly and encouraging as well and didn’t make anyone feel intimidated because we were all beginners who have never really tried reformers before. However the studio was small, wasn’t any place to clean/shower or chill before and after class unlike THE FLOW. The pilates reps were good and just the right amount of challenge to push myself and my bf as well. However something is just lacking as compared to THE FLOW. You guys gotta try it and u’ll know. (But in terms of price, ofc Sg pilates is more affordable - i would say due to the difference in amenities provided)

3. VITALITY PILATES

📍Taiseng mrt

⭐⭐: 2/5

Honestly the worse out of the 3… the reps werent really burning any of my muscles at all… (and mind you guys.. im a beginnner.. if i didnt feel the burn…)

The reformers were also placed so near and close to each other that when i stretched my legs or arms i would hit the person beside me which isnt allowing me to push to my max. The whole 1 hour i felt like i was j going thr to stretch but not gain muscle LOL. And plus, their package is actually pretty expensive and thankfully i tried this studio w free credits and not with paid credits omg… (this is also totally based on my own opinions as well but my bf felt the same too)
