Amanda Blauer Pilates

I’ve gone on countless workout journeys throughout my 39 years. For the last year I’ve been subscribed to Amanda’s program and it’s the just best workouts. They’re difficult but there is no jumping around. Pilates with Amanda has given me something that no other coach or program has, consistency. As I have to admit, the huge pull for me in this new area of workouts, I loved being able to lie down sometimes in class 😂 I enjoy Pilates immensely, I’m so grateful to not have to spend hundreds of dollars a month under the judgmental eyes of owners or classmates. I genuinely feel like I’m working out with a best friend I’ve never met. I’ve been more consistent in the last year that I’ve been working with Amanda, and the opinion that “Pilates won’t help you lose weight” is bologna. I’ve lost over 45 pounds and gained so much mental clarity and strength. She’s so amazing with cues that if my phone doesn’t mirror to the tv, I can still follow along. I’m so grateful to be a part of the community she’s built and continue to look forward to new classes and discovering older ones.

TLDR: these videos are SO good, Amanda is such a great instructor and her cues are amazing, and there is such a wide variety of workouts or whole programs to do no matter what season of life you’re in, or whether you’re looking for a tough longer workout or quick slow stretchy routine. I started using this after a humbling postpartum experience and realizing how weak my core was and just how poor my overall body mechanics were (despite years of weightlifting training!) my pelvic floor PT recommended I try Pilates and finding this app was truly life changing. I started doing the postpartum series at 5 months pp and figured I would just do that for 2 months and see if it helped… it’s now almost a year later and I’m still subscribed because I love it so much. I do around 4 workouts a week plus some weight training. I feel so much stronger and more stable in my day to day life. It’s so much easier to have a consistent workout routine (especially as a mom) when the workouts are quick to set up in your living room and when you like the instructor who teaches them!

I have been using her Pilates app for about 1.5 years. I am now a firm believer in doing Pilates to help improve body pain. Everyone who has back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, etc should consider adding Pilates to their fitness routine. Amanda’s workout routines have been crucial in helping me stay active. She has multiple programs to follow (just in case you get bored or you want a regimen to follow), short classes (6 min is the shortest), standing exercises that test your balance, etc. She has tutorials as well. She consistently gives instructions how to properly do the exercise throughout her workout. She focuses on basics and proper form. I wish I was more consistent, as I haven’t been prioritizing time for myself and just let my tiredness and work schedule keep me from being consistent. When I consistently do a workout each day, I feel better. When I first started, it took a full month for me to really notice that my chronic knee pain and instability was improving (tore acl in Right and meniscus and MCL in Left). Now I notice a difference after a week or two, if I take a long break (2 weeks of doing nothing). If you were an athlete and had any injury, Pilates is the way to go. Even if you weren’t an athlete and just want to improve your life and how your body feels, Pilates is the way to go. Amanda’s app is great. I have really enjoy it. I definitely recommend it to any patients or friends that tell me about their journey in fitness.
