Pilates Anytime | Workouts

I hardly know where to start with this new version of the Pilates Anytime app. While the updated design looks prettier at first glance, everything that truly matters in an exercise app needs serious fixing. I’ve been a member for nine years and used the previous version extensively. If I could, I’d switch back without hesitation. Based on my long experience, there are several issues that need immediate attention. First, it’s now impossible to search or sort within the list of favorite workouts—a feature that used to be available. This makes the favorites list almost pointless. I relied on it to quickly find the workouts I already knew and loved, organized by my own criteria. Now, the only option is to search through *all* workouts, which wastes time and breaks the flow of my routine. Second, the search filters don’t display all available workouts. For example, if I filter by “Equipment – Mat” and “Teacher – Michael King,” several of his workouts don’t appear, even though I know they exist. At first, I thought those sessions had been removed, but my husband managed to find them on the desktop version and create a playlist so I could access them from my phone—which is what I use for 99% of my workouts. If that workaround hadn’t existed, I might never have found those classes again. It makes me wonder how many other workouts are now hidden or inaccessible through the normal search.

The content within the app is great. A huge number of lessons for students and teachers at every level, delivered clearly and in good video by excellent instructors. That part is really good and well worth the subscription cost. The app itself, however, for some inexplicable reason, has bugs and is missing critical features that make it frustrating to use. For starters, videos that have been watched in full should be automatically marked with an “eye” icon, so the user can easily identify those videos they have watched. This worked for a while, and it is not working anymore. It is not possible to write notes in the app - why not!?? It is a lot of hassle to have to go to the web app, find the class, and write notes there, when I have it open right there in the app! It is also not possible to modify the custom playlists in the app. Another incredibly shortsighted omission. I very much doubt that most users lug their computer around to watch the videos in their computer, when they can simply open the app and use their phone or tablet to watch the class. So doesn’t it make more sense to be able to rate, comment, keep track of, and categorize the lessons by playlist in the app? What am I missing here? Not having the features that are available in the web application within the mobile app is just sloppy, lazy programming.

I’ve been a member of Pilates Anytime for years now! I workout at home, so having endless classes to choose from is a must! The instructors are top notch from all over the world and all have their own unique style. I like the different styles of classes and levels. I can always find a class that suits my level/energy on that particular day. There’s new classes every week, so it NEVER gets boring! I feel like a kid again on my birthday whenever I log on and see a new class that I know I’m going to love! Lastly, ( I could go on for days), I love how Pilates feels as I’m getting older. I’ve been practicing for almost 20 years now. I’ll be 50 soon, but I truly believe that Pilates has helped to keep me strong. Thank you to everyone at Pilates Anytime!!❤️
