[cai2179]

i tried one-on-one sessions at vivian zapanta studio in makati. they are really good especially since i have scoliosis so tutok talaga work out ko. kaya lang it's too expensive talaga so i had to stop, ayun, grabe back pain ko after.

^wow dami na pala sa qc. great list.  tnx for sharing sis!

[m_lim]

okay sana ang Pilates pero soooo expensive! P1,300 per session?!

[kirei_me]

how many session in a week ba? 2x or 3x a week for a beginner?

[cai2179]

^depende sis, pag may concern like in my case, scoliosis, 3x a week talaga recommended pag beginner. pero kung work out lang, pwede na yung 2x a week.

[kirei_me]

thanks sis cai2179

aay ky vivian zapanta ka pala noh! 1st choice ko siya. ok ba sis? do you know how much yung 12 session/month package nila, beginner pa lang ako.

[cai2179]

^hth  ok talaga sis kay vivian. first choice ko din kahit too far from my place. she's really nice and very accommodating even nung nag-iinquire pa lang ako. instructor ko is vivian's daughter, si sheila. she has scoliosis din so medyo nakakarelate siya with the hassles especially the back pain kaya talagang personalized yung routine ko.

eto rates nila http://www.vivianzapanta.com/studio.html
almost P14k yung 12 private sessions/month. i'd say it's worth the money naman kaso too expensive for me at this point kasi im just starting out my own business pa lang so i had to cut back my expenses.

san sa makati?? gusto k mag enroll mag pilates e! sana meron malapit sa rcbc. 

[kirei_me]

^thanks sis.

kapag private session ba gagamit ng reformer?parang gusto ko kasi gumamit ng reformer!

[cai2179]

^yes, depende din kasi sa routine na tingin ng instructor mo that will fit your needs. ako kasi nung first week puro mat exercise with barrel lang tsaka exercise ball and toning balls. nung ready na yung body ko, nakakagamit na ako ng equipments, like yung reformer.

i do pilates  pero sa bahay ko na lang ginagawa. i bought this vid at yun na lang ang sinusundan ko. sobrang busy eh. 

[kirei_me]

[scienceinnovation]

There is a seminar regarding PILATES. However it is in Singapore. One of the best PILATES center in the world.

I love Pilates!  Though dahil sa work mga two months din akong tumigil. Now slowly nagPipilates ulit ako (ang hirap kasi what was easy na before, ngayon nanakit na naman ang katawan ko pag ginagawa ko, but I know from experience na after a few weeks mare-recondition na ulit ang body sa Pilates).

Aside from the good posture and stronger core muscles, what I love about Pilates eh nabla-blank ang utak ko pag nagPipilates ako. yung nakakapagconcentrate ako. I feel this is the closest I can get to meditation. Which is a big deal for me na may ADHD yata (officemate ko nagsabi nyan ha! Kasi ambilis kong magjump ng topic sa conversation haha).

I never believed the crap about mind-body connection, but surprisingly, I found that in Pilates.

[penguinmichi]

mas okay ba ang pilates kaysa sa yoga? any feedback mga sis

[jenrb]

^ from my experience, pumayat ako sa pilates. not so much with yoga, but yoga made me calmer and pampapawi talaga sha ng stress.
