Packaging: It came in a sturdy rectangular cardboard box that said Yoga on it. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZkaD2JsPC-fUMkF3vxJ2echoiXZ3T9aM I didn't like how it let possible package thieves know what might be contained inside but great packaging otherwise. The yoga mat came rolled up in a plastic wrap, which was fairly easy to remove.Contents: I got the green yoga mat and it came with an adjustable velcro carrying strap already secured to the mat. There was also a warranty card. There was a bit of a plastic smell coming form the yoga mat but it quickly dissipated after using it once.I've only used the yoga mat twice so far but I am loving it. It's such a game changer to my work outs, especially compared to my bed and floor, haha! I can confirm that it very thick, slip resistant, and comfortable. i didn't look at the dimensions prior to buying the mat, but it is so much longer than I expected! Width is normal size in my opinion. I don't know if it really is tear resistant yet... only time will tell!
I've been doing some pilates for about a month now and I always find the videos about the women saying "connect with your breathing, find your inner strength..." nothing wrong with it, but I enjoy your workout because I don't have to listen to someone being almost too calm. This video helps me get a workout done and it helps me relax, while you just speak like a normal person🤣 I enjoy that, thank you.
I have been practicing yoga for over twenty years, teaching for 18, and I only got into pilates 6 years ago. and it was love at first sight. I have followed several teachers, but this workout is definitely top. obviously I proposed it in my evening classes and it was a success, despite the initial difficulties in resisting the repetitions. But I am confident that with another 3/4 meetings, my students will follow me without hesitation. I have a great group, close-knit and motivated. Today it will go like this, tomorrow better, the important thing is to try, try and try again. Every now and then someone shouts: "I did it!" And it's fantastic. Thank you, thank you for this new job. And... I just turned 66 and I'm from Milan/Italy
Oh my god. This has to be one of the best UA-cam Pilates class I’ve done. I’ve been doing other channels for over a year, I can’t believe I haven’t found yours!
John, I have been working out during this quarantine period and I tried quite a few videos. Your 45 min workout is one of the best workout so far. I do it every alternate day. Even though it's long, I never feel like giving up. That tell a lot about the way you arranged the exercises. Moreover, it focuses on multiple sections and muscles of the body which makes me feel really good after finishing the workout. I appreciate that you add the instructions about breathing during the exercise. Thanks for posting this video! It's definitely challenging but it's very much doable from start to finish.
Thanks John for sharing your excellent classes. I am a senior yoga teacher with expertise in pilates, qigong and other disciplines and found wise routines with you. Greetings from Chile .
When i see this vid for the first time ; "this old guy is buff, he must have alot of good experience and knowledge for chill exercise" and im sweatinggg so much from following you. Great content! Do more of this please!
Thanks for your excellent class John, I am a pilates teacher in the UK but LOVE doing other teachers classes! keep up the good work warmest wishes Louise
This was a great pilates workout - comprehensive, well paced and challenging. Thank you! I also loved that your dog offered the "lower impact" version as well. I was tempted to join him in laying on the floor napping at times! :)
Excellent! That's what I need after a very long quarantine. I've been at home since the beginning of March. I am Italian and I live in Italy. I hope I'll enjoy more videos of yours 😍
Found you today....I am so happy. With the crazy Covid numbers I am really missing my Pilates reformer workouts at my club. Your workout gave me the burn I missed and was challenging enough for me to feel like I got a good all round Pilates workout. I'll be back.
Hi John, Myself and my husband have tried lots of different pilates workouts, but we always come back to yours because its just the best. I think over the lockdownj period we have done your workout about 12 times. Thank you for making us both feel stretched out and ready for the day. Your style is perfect for me, as I have got a very bad spine problem, and this wporkoiut loosens me up so well. Thanks again, and see you tomorrow! :-)
I haven’t done Pilates for a few months and your exercises were great. The first time I did them I ached. You vary the exercises so that it is all achievable and the body feels super energised after. Thank you!
I bought my first yoga mat and I was looking for exercises that I could do. I underestimated this exercise because you made it so easy and flawless. It kicked my butt to say the least. I didn't realized how out of shape I was. Anyway, I am going to continue even though my body feels like I've been carrying heavy rocks all days. Thanks again for helping people like me.
Thanks John I love your class. Please can you make advance pilates no equipment. I start my morning with you.I’m living in London, but I’m portuguese 🥰🙏
Amazing workout, those 47 minutes disappear in no time! Everytime I do this workout, I feel so strong, yet powered out, so hot, yet relaxed! You chose some awesome exercises, explained them very well and were charming and positive throughout. Tremendous! Among my absolute favorite workouts on youtube!
lovely! After years of great live pilates in the best school of the hague (netherlands). Corona is a great time to discover and play with new input and inspiration :-) Thanks John Love your class
a dynamite workout, and an excellent presentation from you John, thank you so much its just what I needed being stuck at home since the 14th of March due to the long quarantine in Athens Greece,,, keep safe and healthy and thank you once again
Hello John. Lovely to see you again online. I did your athletic reformer training workshop in Melbourne, Australia end of last year. Thank you for your fantastic energy. This was such a treat during quarantine. Stay well.
Thank you John! I have tried quite a few pilates classes recently... This is my absolute favourite! So positive, easy to follow and generally great workout!

I'm going to be 60 soon and seeing you so fit -- not suggesting that you are my age range -- is truly inspiring. Thanks
He's your age range exactly. I agree, looks great...except for that 20-something hair. :)
This was great and the dog was a real morale-builder!
BamBam is the best! Thank you for watching!
