It’s August which means Pilates in the park has nearly come to an end!🥲

Over 100 of you joined me this summer in the park and many laughs were had in the sunshine. Thank you so much for showing up on a Sunday morning ready to work🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

I can’t wait for next summer which will be even bigger and even better😎 if you’ve left me a review too thank you so much! If you’d like to leave me one, you can using your Setmore account☺️

We also have our final class of the summer on 30th August at 9am, free Pilates and cake in the park, someone will be taking some videos too!! There’s a few spaces left, you can book now link in my bio.

Hope to see many more people before the end of summer! Weekday classes are quieter if you’re looking for a more relaxed environment to try Pilates for the first time.

Hopefully see you this summer but if not hope to see you the next one!🧡 Thank you for joining me York🤩 and thank you weather gods!!!!☀️

Check out my new substack article of the week out now in my bio!🔔

This week I’m discussing the new reformer studios opening with screens. I didn’t realise how long this model had been around for in Australia!

These screens have not replaced Pilates studios, yet. But with the rise of Ai and new technology, could this be something that investors attempt in the future?

Less teachers = lower costs but it doesn’t mean a better experience. We are lonely as a society and sometimes a Pilates class is the only time a week someone will spend around other people.

Do I think these studios are the future? No. I think they’ll grow quickly in the UK and they could potentially stop the amount of studios opening at the moment.

But I don’t think you can never beat human interaction and hands on corrections!‼️

Have you tried one of these studios, what did you think?

Only 4 weeks of Pilates in the park left😭 Join me Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 6pm or Sundays at 9am for an hour of resetting your body and mind in the sunshine 🌞

I’m also running a free class on August 30th 9am and there will be cupcakes. You can book in now at https://georgiamaypilates.co.uk/ 🧡

Hope to see you there!😊

Omg move over reformer, you aren’t cool anymore xoxo

It’s a new week and a new substack article! I deep dive into Lagree and what it could mean for the reformer studios if it starts to blow up like it has in the United States.

The yearly fees and the mega reformers are mega expensive. You can buy a standard contemporary reformer for £2000 in the UK. Mega reformers can range from $9000-$11,000 which might be out of a lot of people’s price range. (I couldn’t find any UK prices)

Do I think it could be a competitor of the more modern reformers studios? Possibly! Do I think it will ever eliminate classical Pilates? Never.

It’ll be interesting to see where people go with this and what the next 5 years in the industry will look like. Me personally, I hope more classical studios open but people are more reluctant to pay for the training due to the costs and time required. It’s worth it though!

Have you tried Lagree. What do you think? Take a read of the article now in my bio🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Some snippets from my article for the one and only Gratz Pilates. This topic has been so important to me since I started my teaching training. How do we make Pilates teacher training accessible for neurodivergent people?

You can find the link to read in my bio where I discuss my own experience and offer suggestions and ideas to Pilates studios on how they can do better for their trainees.

Thank you to Amy Kellow ✨ Classical Pilates Teacher Trainer | Mentor for getting me in touch with Gratz. I think it’s so awesome that they included this article on their website so thank you so much gratz!!!

Being neurodiverse can sometimes feel like a burden and a superpower. I do try to keep it as positive as I can as how you speak to yourself, is how you will feel! I accept who I am and find ways to work better with my brain.🧠

Teacher training was honestly harder than my 3 year English degree. I’ve cried and I’ve laughed but I finished a comprehensive training program!

If you’ve been worried about starting Pilates teacher training because you’re neurodiverse, pleasee read this article and see that you can do it too!❤️
