[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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!! [/quote]

From a Pilates girl thank you! You are doing the Lord's work![/quote]

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. [/quote]

Health is most important. Physical therapy may be more appropriate, but if his doctor recommends taking a class, he should look for one with the best and most experienced instructor .

But then, if there's multiple classes with that instructor, it would be totally cool if he would ask if there's a certain time when other men attend or any classes that tend to be unofficially all women, and try to find a class where he's least disruptive.

If he does end up being in an all female class, it would help if you went together so it's clear he's not there to pick up women, and if you coached him a bit on avoiding offensive behaviors, sounds, and smells, and ask the instructor to find a spot for him that would be least annoying. I would think in front, so that women don't feel like he's staring and so the instructor can help him.[/quote]
