I’ll be honest: for years, Pilates was my whole personality. 🙋‍♀️ I was scared to get “bulky” but I remained more or less just the same, smaller and larger versions of my body comp. Then about a year postpartum, I started lifting heavier, and it completely changed my body and how strong I feel day to day. Now my week is 2–3 strength sessions and 2–3 Pilates classes, and it’s the best balance I’ve ever found. No bulk, just stronger, more sculpted, and way more energy for my boys. I spend my days inside LA’s top boutique studios, and I’m seeing the same shift everywhere.
