It never ceases to amuse me the number of ways clients ask me about Pilates. From “Do you do Pilots classes” to “I’ve heard about Palates do you teach it”.
I get quite a number of visitors to this site who type in “Palates” so I’m not complaining I just hope they weren’t looking for information on a cleft palate.
Still at least I’ve found another “Ates” to add to my growing list which includes Yogalates, Equilates and poolates.
It shows how popular Pilates has become over the last decade and if the number of people asking for places in my already full classes is any indication the trend is continuing helped no doubt by the endless Pilates Infomercials for Mari Winsors Pilates DVD’s and the like.
Problem is have you ever tried to learn Pilates from a DVD? I have and it’s not as easy as the creators would have you believe. It’s one of the reasons I’ve created the Beginners Pilates Progam to help complete beginners learn how to do Pilates in a safe and effective manner.
