We’re not trying to throw shade at other methods, just trying to clear up the confusion. There’s are a lot of studios out there calling themselves PILATES to capitalize on the current trends in fitness, when they are really just offering fitness classes on a reformer or reformer-like machine.

Are you talking a Pilates class, or what you think is a Pilates, but not sure if it’s the real deal?

Or have you even thought to question if it is Pilates?

Here’s a quick rundown on how to tell for sure!
