Customer Reviews
My Go To for all things Pilates!
This is a truly valuable resource for all things Pilates. The content is authentic, sometimes controversial but always entertaining, valuable and to the point. A great resource for all Pilates instructors. I absolutely love this Podcast - my Number 1 Go To.
Thank you for this informative podcast.
Pilates elephants has been priceless. I have learnt sooo much from every episode. Thank you for going against the grain and putting evidence based information out there into the Pilates world. My mind has been opened.
Episode 255, class programming was unprofessional!
I usually like the content here and have found some of the info useful, however; the recent episode was very unprofessional! Episode 255, class programming. There was no need to start talking negatively about other Pilates institutions, Polestar, and bring them down publicly to make a point! We are all studied with different Pilates bodies and we can cross learn from each other and respect each other.
The second thing is I feel the Natalie and Kyle don’t really prepare before hand so they go off track and drag the conversation.
