Doing life better.

Hey Pilatinis®!

I talk to women every single day who tell me that they that they want to work out, they want to feel like they used to before they had kids and a house (on top of their job), before covid stole what little free time they had left to themselves. They tell me they can’t remember what it’s like to have friends because they no longer get to the gym to meet people.

And so they wake up earlier, stay up later, skip their workouts or reading time – and then feel guilty for feeling frustrated, tired, overworked, under appreciated.

I’ve had this conversation hundreds of times. And it forced me into action, because I never heard anyone tell me how to fix it.

I felt obligated to create these new programs on OPC, because I know exactly how helpful they will be for busy, working moms who just want to feel good that they snuck in a workout after a long crazy day. Where we can feel like life is (almost) normal again, as we create time for ourselves.

See, what other programs miss is that they think we actually have the time for options. They think we need a zillion choices. Hell, they think we actually know what workout we want that day… (maybe throw a dart to choose?)

But we all know that leaves us choosing a workout not based on if it’s the best workout for us, but based on how many minutes we actually have at that exact moment. “OK, I have 23 minutes before Zoom school is over. That leaves me 3 minutes to find a 20 minute class.” We’ll shower later, right?

This is exactly why these new OPC programs exist.

A lot of you have already done some of the workouts where we were messing around with class times, length, days, availability, etc. Now it’s all dialed in and ready for you.

You’re going to learn and practice Pilates in 30 and 50 minute increments in a way that takes you ZERO time at all to choose what class to take. (Literally two mouse clicks from when you login that you have a class playing.)

You’re going to take the same class multiple times and be able to measure your WINS every day, because you remember how you felt when taking class the day before.

You won’t feel alone anymore, because even though we’re all working out from home, you’ll be taking the same class that hundreds of other women are taking too.

But this program isn’t for everyone, because it’s going to take a decision. You need to decide when you’re going to take class each week. And I hold you accountable to that decision by taking the classes away. Like the old saying, “Use it or lose it.”

So if you’re ready to make that decision for yourself, and you want to join the hundreds of other women who post about their workouts all the time, then we can work together – and I can’t wait for that!

So choose your membership (based on the equipment you have access to.)

You’ll be signing up for consistency, connection and community. Repeat.

A PILATES MEMBERSHIP YOU’LL ACTUALLY USE

Connection, community and consistency are what we looked for in an online Pilates subscription before we created OPC; a Pilates membership you’ll actually use.

01.

CONNECTION

Connect more to yourself physically and mentally. Connect with Lesley. Connect with others.

Pilates makes better humans, and you’re going to love how you feel!

02.

COMMUNITY

OPC has the most supportive members-only community that you’ll find on the ‘net! It doesn’t matter if you’re brand new to Pilates or have been teaching for decades, or if you were trained one way vs another, you’ll be in a safe, supportive space in our group.

03.

CONSISTENCY

We hold you accountable to your commitment. Every OPC membership comes with weekly classes. Those classes are only live for 7 days and then they disappear – so don’t miss them, or they’re gone! Trust us, after missing your first class you’ll immediately schedule your practice into your own calendar so you never miss another one.

WHAT DOES CLASS LOOK LIKE?

Below are four 5 minute sample clips of an online mat, reformer, cadillac and wunda chair class.

PRACTICE WHEN AND WHERE YOU WANT

NEW CLASSES EACH WK & MO.

Every week there will be one new Mat class for you to take. Each month you can join us for a longer live class, then take the replay for a full month. You can take class whenever, where ever and as often as you want! Classes are live for 7 days and then they disappear.

30 & 50 MINUTE CLASSES

Sneaking in your workout between clients? Or maybe at the office? Classes are the perfect length at 30+ minutes. Looking for a longer class to do on the weekend? Take the 50 minute classes. Enjoy!

GET IN, GET STARTED, GET OUT

Spending 15 minutes deciding what class to take? Here you’ll have two choices. Take the weekly or the monthly class. But, don’t miss them or they’re gone… We love FOMO here!

TAKE CLASS ON ANY DEVICE

Tablet? Phone? Desktop? No problem. You can easily login and take class on any device at a time that fits your schedule.

UNDENIABLE VALUE

So much more convenient and less than half the price of going to the gym or studio. Get the All Equipment class package and save even more!

ALL ABOUT THE FLOW

So often I hear that there is too much time between the exercise transitions with lengthy explanations, when all you really want to do is work out. Well, we FLOW here.

CONSISTENCY. COMMUNITY. CONNECTION.

An online Pilates membership you’ll actually use.

DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

I really value the face book group and the connection it provides to Lesley and the other members. What I love about the OPC crowd is the mix of classical and contemporary teachers and enthusiasts bringing such positive energy. It can be difficult to find such a mix without the ‘my way or the highway’ comments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We’ve gotten tons of questions about these memberships. Here are our answers to those FAQs.

Three things!

  1. a simple, convenient online Pilates membership that gets you STRAIGHT to working out,
  2. an instantly welcoming community (seriously, they rock!) that post regularly, and
  3. we hold you accountable, making this a membership that YOU’LL ACTUALLY USE and feel good about it afterward.

Ok, here’s the thing. We are all going to spend something on our health somewhere, right? Whether that’s after all the upcoming holiday meals, next year when we’re (fingers crossed!) back in the gym, or at the doctor’s office (I hope not!) So since investing in yourself is going to happen somewhere along the line, it might as well happen now, when you can join an excited group of Pilates lovers who, as a community, can get us out of this covid slump. I can tell you that I’m not great at going at my practice totally alone… it’s just too easy to put it off to tomorrow (raise your hand if this is you too!)

Busy people! Because we keep it simple! You can take it with you wherever you are. I found Pilates when I was so busy and didn’t think I could add anything new to my day. But, time expanded when I found Pilates because I worked my entire body in a session. Didn’t need to think about what other parts of my body needed to get worked out later that week.

Ok, most people assume that you have to have at least an hour of time every day to get your practice in, but you can do it in only THIRTY MINUTES! Seriously, you can go through Joe’s entire order in 30 minutes or less. That’s not even a full lunch break!

We all have to start somewhere! You don’t have to already be flexible and/or strong to do Pilates… that’s the point – it helps you build both of those things. Seriously, after 10 sessions you’re going to feel a difference. You’re going to sleep better, stand taller, and move more easily. Wait til you’ve taken 20 or 30!

You don’t need a different workout everyday… the fitness world has you thinking you need to do ALL the things. But, actually, you need quality over quantity. You need to show up for you and do the best you can. OPC helps you get better at connecting to yourself – aka your muscles, your mind and body and your breath, all in 30 min.

We’ve just introduced a monthly option at your request. And, you can cancel at any time. Check it out!

Ok, here’s the deal. I have to imagine if you’re even reading this that means you WANT to feel better in your own body. So it DOES take a decision on your part, but here’s how we help you stay accountable to that decision you are making:

  • We take the classes away. Wait, WHAT? Yes… the classes are available for a limited time, so don’t miss them or they’re gone! Why? Because, accountability, that’s why!
  • We have the flippin’ coolest community of other Pilates peeps who all chat to each other all the time. Seriously, wait til you get in there and meet them! It’ll be like when you were part of a weekly class at your local studio, seeing the same people all the time. And, you’ll be taking the same classes as them at the same time, so when you talk about something they’ll know what you mean!

Here’s the deal. This membership is NOT for you if you want a quick fix, or you want to “feel the burn”… this is not a HIIT class or CrossFit. This is a long term solution that you can (literally) do for the rest of your life.

I don’t work with people who want me to wave a magic wand. I don’t do quick fixes. I work with people who want to learn about themselves, strengthen themselves, challenge themselves, and be in community.

But for those who make a decision for themselves, here’s what I do: I show up for you each week! I hear what you struggle with, what your body needs, what exercises you don’t like and create the classes you need to be more successful.

SUCH A TEASE

ONLINE MAT & REFORMER PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Teaser is probably one of the most photographed exercises in Pilates. Which makes people think it's a "peak pose." But, it's anything but! It's simply another layer to your Pilates practice. This week we will acknowledge how each exercise contributes to your ability to do Teaser (someday) and then how Teaser teaches you where to get curious in your practice.

On the Mat we will use light weights for one round of Teaser as they can be helpful for those still adding into their practice.
No props on the Reformer.

See you in class,

UP, UP, & AWAY

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

We are all going to feel like Super Humans after this month!!

Whenever I’m in a hard exercise (for me) where I’m holding myself up with my arms and reaching my legs away I picture myself with super human strength!!! I can do ANYTHING! It makes me smile and helps me stay STRONG.

This month our exercise is Up Stretch and when you think about it - reaching your legs away and staying strong over the carriage may feel a lot like flying!

We’ll be focusing on stabilizing our strong cores while staying equally balanced in our arms and legs. We are giving you some amazing building blocks by merging strength and stretch in all directions. You are going to get a little bit of everything that you can use to connect to your Up Stretch (and even your Roll Up and Knee Stretches Off).

Chair: Please have a foam roller and a balance pad available. We are going to challenge your balance safely.

WE GOT THE BEAT

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Alright loves, while we don't often talk about Grasshopper on the Mat or Reformer it is something we can beat those heels together on. And, another great way to challenge our connections. This week we are going to focus on our midline. And we are going to find different ways to show that we got that beat!

On the Mat have a magic circle or ball nearby to find our midline connections. On the Reformer have a ball nearby for some warm ups.

See you in class,

xx-LL 💋

WANNA BE A BALLER?

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

This week's workout is 30 minute reformer and mat with the small Pilates ball! Get ready to work! The ball adds a stability challenge on the reformer and spices up the classic, essential exercises. You'll also get extra outer hip recruitment, inner thigh work and more glute activation by adding in the ball. I hope you have a great time with this fun workout and feel like a baller afterwards!

If you do not have a small Pilates ball you can use a rolled up bath towel.

See you in class,

ROW WITH ME NOW

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Rowing exercises are quite challenging on the Reformer. They can be done on the mat as well. But if you're missing the connections they can be all choreography and no core. So, this week we'll be focusing on the Mat how the Mat exercises prep us for a fabulous Rowing. And on the Reformer how they warm us up but then reveal themselves throughout the session.

Basically, you're rowing even when you're not!

On the Mat, you'll want 1 or 2 lb weights. Over the Reformer if you're new to rowing have them on the side.

See ya in class,

BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

While I never saw that movie growing up I was thinking about back bends. And how to build up to them. Now, if you're like LL I'm off back extension. Do not worry. This class will still have tall backs, side bends, twists and flexion of course. So skip what you can't do.

Whatever level of extension you can do we are going to take it and make it longer! And for some of my super flexy people, it might feel like you're not gumby anymore. However, we will create the strongest back bends ever! Always.

Props needed on the mat a bolster or a small barrel. On the Reformer we won't need a prop but we will be using our shortbox to focus on extension.

See ya in class!

HORSES HORSES HORSES

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

If you are a lover of the Reformer chances are you have little love for the Horseback. I don't blame you. It's not that fun. If you're on the Mat you probably have no idea what this means…

And that's ok! Horseback is like a seated Teaser but harder!

On both the Mat and Reformer we will be playing with how to connect to this exercise, prepare for it and find a Horse that works for us!

Props: Mat, have light weights nearby

STUDIO 54!

Online Mat, Reformer, Cadillac & Wunda Chair Pilates Class Descriptions:

Tami is turning 54 this month! And we are going to bring the best that Studio 54 had to offer to all of our month-long classes. The only rules for that iconic club were:

1. Be Your Grandest Self
2. Have Fun
3. No polyester Shirts!

Doesn’t that sound just like just like OPC?

*Note: I’m thinking the focus is on being grand…finding ways to expand our range of movement throughout the exercises, on all the equipment and the Mat.

Let’s be our grandest as we expand our range of motion on the Wunda! We’ll be using variations of the Pull Up (a very centering exercise) to power us up & out to a special full range exercise at the end! To all the October babies A Happy Birthday Indeed!

Wunda Chair prop: Please bring a pair of light weights (1-3lbs) to class!

See ya in class,

xx-LL 💋

DE-RANGED

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

We spend a lot of time in life looking ahead to what’s next and/or working towards something instead of celebrating where we are in the current moment. We forget to look back and see how far we’ve come.

It got the OPC crew thinking about how we tend to do this with our Pilates practice, too. We are always working towards something…the nemesis exercise, a higher lift in an exercise, a longer reach, a stronger connection, etc.

How about we spend some time this month celebrating where we are each day? And maybe we even take ourselves back a touch and become a bit De-RANGED from our current practice?

“De-Ranged” meaning we reduce our range of motion and observe what happens. Reducing our range may help us gain some insights about ourselves we can use to take our practice farther this month and into the beyond.

This month, we are challenging ourselves and YOU to take a look at where you are while you decrease your range and see if you learn something about yourself - without ANY judgment!

Try asking yourself some of the questions below throughout your practice:

  • Is this making the exercise more or less challenging?
  • Is this making things more or less stable?
  • Am I finding a connection a bit more easily or is it harder?
  • Am I finding a muscle that is trying to take over the exercise?
  • Am I finding I have to focus more to get a muscle to engage/connect?
  • Am I finding an area that is a bit tight and needs a little more stretch?

Feel free to share your reflections and ask us questions this month if you are wondering what any of this means in your body!

Props needed:
For the Cadillac, have a 2x4 (Kuna board) and the long box (from the reformer)

For the Reformer: small ball, resistance band, and small weights. Resistance band will be optional and is only for 1 exercise.

For the Chair, just you and your Wunda chair.

For the Mat, thera band and weights.

See ya in class,

xx-LL 💋
