Are there ladies on LSA who do pilates? What does your class look like? Is it filled with middle aged white people?
Does Pilates slim the waist or not? I keep getting conflicting answers.

Certain aesthetics appeal to a certain group of people.
running, yoga, Pilates and being lean is important to one group more than another.
I started to do pilates at home. I looked at reformer classes they are expensive and hard to put into my schedule. White women join because they have access.
There are a few pilates threads on here. This is the lastest one
Pilates anyone?

Not true at all. Certain actives appeal to people who live in/near them. Exposure, access and where you live, who you hang with and socialize is a huge deciding factor.
Strengthens the core which in turn tones up the waist so yes

I do Barre and the majority of the women at my Pure Barre studio are white and older. The area that the studio is in is diverse and affluent, so black women here can definitely afford it.
On the weekdays, I would be the only black woman in my classes. On Saturdays 1 of 3.
One of the instructors is a black woman and she definitely is the best instructor there, as far as challenging her students, so that they get results. AND she has the best body of all of the instructors!! But y’all already knew that lol
I would have just got up and left if I was her lmaoshe farted during one of the stretches
Lmao. I’ve taken classes Pilates might not look like much, but I promise you will be sore after the first few classes.
I was usually the only black person there, except one time where there was another black girl (she farted during one of the stretches and I never saw her again )

Both mat and reformer Pilates are lower impact than other fitness methods like running, Peloton or Barry's. Depending on the instructor it can be more stretchy/rehab focused, and so you will see a higher percentage of older people. I wish more older black women had access to Pilates.
I hate mat Pilates, but reformer and equipment based Pilates are expensive, especially if you want individual instruction(the best way to learn the fundamentals and muscle awareness). I finally bit the bullet and purchased my own reformer this year bc of lady Rona--I am beyond excited for it to arrive!
