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

You are a very good teacher! Your tips to the exercises are priceless. I am so happy that i have join to your community finally :relieved:  Tomorrow I want to try reformer – before it’s gone.

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,

TOPS 'N TAILS

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

Tops ‘N Tails (or Tops & Tails) is a wonderful expression I grew up with! It means being ready-to-go…from top to bottom, front to back, end to end! Isn’t that exactly what Pilates does for our minds and bodies? It encourages us to ready for any adventure that comes our way because our workouts use variety to engage the whole body, and to focus our minds.

This month’s Reformer workout will have us exploring Tops ‘N Tails by working from the ends of The Order. We’ll alternate exercises from the beginning and from the end of our usual routine for a challenging time! You’ll need your reformer box and pole.

On the Wunda Chair and Mat we'll be focusing on working from the top half or the tail half of our bodies! While every exercise requires the whole body. Setting ourselves up for success from the Top to the Tail makes the most difference!

On the Cadillac/Tower we will work on how the top half of the body helps to support the bottom half and vice versa! Pilates allows us to use the whole body to help with strength from Top to Tail! Let's explore how the springs on the Cadillac/Tower make us connect to the whole body in each exercise.

MEET ME HALFWAY

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

This week we’re going to focus on how we use Abduction and Adduction to center ourselves, find our control, and harness our power. We’ll be working about halfway through The Order of Exercises on both the Mat and the Reformer with an Adduction - squeezing toward center - focus , then we’ll go back to the beginning and repeat those exercises with an Abduction - pulling away from center - focus. You’ll need something you can squeeze and something you can pull apart. So grab a ball and a resistance band, or just a magic circle and meet me halfway!

See you in class,

Tami

LEG PULLS ARE FUN

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Alright so maybe they're not fun! But, what we think about an exercise does matter! And if you don't like an exercise or you tell yourself you can't do an exercise I promise you your brain and body will believe it!

So, I'm taking Leg Pulls (Control Push Ups on the Reformer) and making them fun! So we can ALL enjoy what is possible from these dynamic duos!

Have a squishy ball or stuffed toy nearby for our Leg Pull moments on the Mat. Reformer no props needed.

See ya in class,

CONTROL YOUR BALANCE

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Alright loves, you may not like going overhead and you may not be able to…yet..

But this week on the Mat and the Reformer we will be ready-ing ourselves to Control our Balance.
Yes, the exercise but there are so many ways to work this that if you are not going upside down you're going to feel your balance get controlled!

Think long legs, asymmetrical legs and maybe even a little single leg deadlift.

On the Mat, if you do struggle with balance go to a wall during the standing work or have a chair nearby. No extra props needed for the Reformer.

See ya in class,

SLINKY SPINE?

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

I know you remember the slinky! So wouldn't it be nice if our bodies could move like that? Well, it's not necessarily good to be super bendy, but it is good to be able to articulate the spine when we are able. In the classes this week we will work through the articulation and flexibility of the spine, as well as pay attention to trying not to go too far. Finding your strength and connections in your flexion and extension is going to be the key! Hopefully, you will feel like a slinky here and there throughout the 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

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS SKIP TORSO DAY!

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

I was thinking of arm days and leg days at the gym, and even the memes you see, which can go both ways. Either dragging yourself around the day after because you're so sore, or you have no muscles at all to hold you up because you skipped those days. Always the extremes with the memes (hey, that rhymed!), and that’s why we love them.

But this is what I love about Pilates - it’s the full body, the whole body. Everything is working together so one part is not overdoing it, while another part is doing nothing. The upper body, the lower body, and the side bodies are connected to our center, so that’s where our focus will be. Even when you think it’s about the arms or the legs, how can you ask a little more of your center to engage?

Props for the Wunda Chair: yoga block and long box for some exercises

See ya in class,
