| - I was absolutely terrified to attend the free session offered. I have zero experience with pilates and have struggled with working out in general. In desperate need to get into shape, I decided that I was going to force myself to go. I was embarrassed before I even went and nearly cancelled my reservation several times. I assumed that people were going to be looking at me because I was so out of shape and was likely messing up the moves. Well, I am glad that I missed the 6 hour cutoff for cancellation.
I arrived early thinking that I may have to fill out a form, but I did not. I had a seat in the waiting area and was watching the class that was still in session. Meagan came over while directing the class and introduced herself, confirmed that it was my first time and gave me reassurance on what was to come. I felt at ease for sure. She had asked me if I had any injuries before the class started and I mentioned that my hips occasionally had issues. She went through the entire megaformer with me, explaining all of the parts and how to use them during the session.
I cannot brag on Meagan enough. She was absolutely fantastic! I felt comfortable throughout the entire thing. She corrected me if I was doing something that was not exactly right, she offered reassurance when I was doing something correctly, and she adjusted the springs on my machine when she saw that I was struggling with one of the moves due to my hips. I would recommend attending her classes to anyone!
Now, being a first timer and quite out of shape, I was not able to do all of the moves with a lot of enthusiasm. :) The motto on the wall is 'MBRACE THE SHAKE" and they are not kidding. As I walked to my car after, I am positive that I looked intoxicated and walking sideways. haha The day after, I was a little sore, but nothing insane. Two days after, still sore and maybe even a little more sore than the day after. Today is the third day and I am getting online to sign up for the newbie 1 month unlimited. The workout was intense and incredibly gratifying. I can see myself becoming addicted to pilates and I have been looking forward to another class since I left the first!
Do yourself a favor and sign up here! They are willing to add more classes if people express days or times that they want to attend as well!
