Tiktok says men dont belong in Pilates class

But if a man walks into class, all it takes is five minutes of good behavior (basically act like the women) for me to fully accept them. Just don’t change the vibe, and it’s fine.

Yes!

Men know damn well what theyre doing when they decide to head to Pilates or yoga classes (not the intensive, very strenuous/active yoga, or the super spiritual ones that may have a few male yogis, but the classes with scented essential oils that are attended by 95%+ females).

They WANT to be in women's spaces. Plenty of them will admit that and say that they avoid male spaces because theyre intimidated by other men, or because they cant meet women in bars and would love to meet a yoga/pilates girl. That it's such a relief to them to be in chill/supportive female spaces... completely missing the point that that's EXACTLY why we as women want our own spaces and not want them there! That just as they are trying to avoid the energy they get from other men in the weightlifting part of the gym, women are doing the same thing and when they show up they ruin it!

I think men know this but most of them just dont care. They invade our spaces, sense our discomfort, and justify it/dismiss it. I am beyond glad that Gen Z tiktok girls are bringing this discourse up and calling out the male entitlement- if it makes them even slightly uncomfortable or reflective it's worth it!

My DH and I took the day off together tomorrow for a day date and we were scheduled for a 10am Pilates class together at the gym. I just logged into his account and removed him from the class. Solidarity ladies!!

From a Pilates girl thank you! You are doing the Lord's work!

Typical DCUM misandry. If these are coed classes, then it's OK for men to join.

If anyone (male or female) acts inappropriately, they should be asked to leave.

I hope you don’t tell him so he gets kicked out of class so he feels the embarrassment women face every day.

Join an all female gym if your heart hurts you over this.

Every time there's an all female gym loser MRA men sue the place and demand access.

I have been taking adult ballet class since 2001, the men there are always respectful. It’s a behavior issue, not a gender issue.

Then all men would be asked to leave always. Their grunting and dramatics are always unwelcome

I’m the PP who took my DH out of class. I would like your advice as a Pilates girl. My DH has a genetic condition that affects his connective tissues. By 55 he’ll most likely be unable to walk. He cannot lift weights or do anything beyond body weight. He’d been doing yoga and Pilates in a gym class setting as his work out. Should he instead just do online classes at home? He’s obviously not macho due to his disability but a woman’s comfort/ peace of mind is more important to me.

Those types of men don't belong in pilates classes. Thankfully the few men who are in mine don't behave that way.

Personal trainer might be an option. Or find an inclusive class that's not anti-men.

I’m a man and used to do yoga until my two favorite teachers both retired.

I definitely preferred being in the back third of class only because I’m not very flexible and I’d rather hide out a little there. Do you really want me in the front row doing my modifications, etc? Believe me the only place I’m staring during downward dog is at my mat.
