Pilates By Bryony 4+

Do not hesitate in subscribing to this app. I have been a member since December and cannot praise it enough. I’ve been into fitness for a number of years and have tried many different styles of training but this style of Pilates has made me see changes both physically and mentally. Bryony really motivates you and gives you descriptive teaching points throughout the class making it easy to follow. I am a 40 something mother of 2 and find this fits perfectly into my family life. The challenges really inspire you especially being able to workout live with Bryony. If you don’t want to follow a challenge you can select the length of workout that you want to follow. You won’t regret signing up to this app.

Workouts are ok but from the ones I’ve done over the last 30 days there’s a bit of “rinse and repeat” some workout videos actually refer to other challenges in them! The live classes are nice although could be better. The recent claridges one for example wasn’t good at all for someone who wasn’t there. There were quite a few times where the video is being done from behind a sea of heads (as if you were right at the back of the room full of people) and Bryony is on the floor so I had no idea what I was meant to be doing and had to take cues from what those exercising in the room were doing. As a new user to Bryony I was quite unsatisfied with the information available to me - there is no intro information and the faqs relate solely to payments and purchases so you’re just expected to guess what her workout categories mean (are they all suitable for all abilities, is spicy more of a hiit workout?, does one burn more calories?, is calm more meditation? Is strength a weight-based programme and the others aren’t? etc etc). There’s also no guide as to what equipment you might need before each class which means you have to scramble/pause at the start to get what you need. All in all needs much more improvement before I’d be willing to pay more than £25 a month for an app!

What else can I say, Bryony is incredible at what she does. After subscribing regularly for a few months I took the plunge and bought an annual membership. There are classes for all levels and I really enjoy using the different equipment

One thing that could be improved is clearly sign-posting and/or ‘tagging’ workouts that use certain equipment. Sometimes it isn’t obvious until you have started or are mid-way through a class if equipment is required. As I have invested in the pieces I would prefer classes using the equipment where possible.

Thanks Bryony & Team :) I hope you never stop making new content!
