Food is fuel!! We can eat what we want weather we workout or not ๐ก I have struggled with disordered eating my whole life & this mindset is so scary ๐ฅน

If you MUST talk about food at least be like โI canโt wait for the hot dogs this weekend so my workouts next week can be even stronger because Iโm fueled upโ

Ugh I cannot stand when instructors talk like this. So disappointing. Appreciate you saying this and genuinely feel most instructors are open to accepting this feedback if you feel comfortable enough to share.

Gross behavior!!! There are a wide variety of motivations and encouragement that are positive. Food/diet SHOULD NOT EVEN COME UP!! I focus on strength, progression in mobility and stability, being proud of showing up for yourself however that looks that day (energized, tired, dragged yourself there, etc). I also like to speak to unplugging for the time in the room, showing up for yourself to in turn show up for everyone outside the room that day.

Yikes. My instructors conversation with us about fourth July food was โwhich do you girls prefer hotdog or hamburger?!โ Everyone shouted out their favorite food and we kept it moving lol. I hope that instructor who thinks you need to earn food is ok ๐ค

Should really tell management, that can be really triggering for many people. Especially those who are recovering from EDs

Jenni Waters ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ :
Oh HELL no ๐คฆโโ๏ธthis is one thing I will never everrr do as a Pilates instructor. I always tell my clients how strong and capable they are, and Iโll comment on how their form or strength is progressing or how proud they should be of themselves. Pilates has always been about strength, never our body shape/size or earning food..instructors ought to know better ๐ฃ
