Runājot par Ņujorkas fitnesa studijām, es sevi salīdzinu ar pieredzējušu sliņķi — Pilates laikmeta PI. Esmu iznācis no inferno-esque paklājiņu nodarbībām, lējis asaras, izdzinis iekšējos dēmonus un palaidis vaļā katarsiskus kliedzieni, tiecoties pēc eiforiskās pēctreniņa kņadas, par ko visi runā.
And while I revel in testing the buzziest NYC 'it' classes and avant-garde methods, those usually aren't the ones I return to. When it comes to consistency, I'm a firm believer in the notion that our habits shape the story of our lives. So I go back to the studios with good vibes (ie, no stressed check-in or locker-room energy) — the ones that leave me feeling stronger in my body at 40. In the content economy and noise pollution we're faced with on a daily basis, these 45- to 55-minute classes are a chance for me to tune out the world and tune in to my body. And of all the workout genres I've tried in my 17 years of New York living, no practice has sculpted my body and liberated my mind like reformer Pilates. This is the workout that's stuck for me, freeing me from years of barre-class fatigue (for the other barre lovers out there, I see you and invite you to try adding a reformer Pilates class to your routine).
Izrādās, es neesmu vienīgais, kas atklāj Pilates burvību, jo es dzīvoju pilsētā, kurā tagad ir tikpat daudz Pilates studiju, cik populāras latte garšas. Bet starp studijām, kuras izmēģināt, manā fitnesa lokā ir viena, kas atkārtojas: tikai ieteikuma, gaidīšanas sarakstā Tera Pilates . Aprakstot savu formātu kā atlētisku mūsdienu Pilates, Tera piedāvā smagu treniņu, kura rezultāti iedvesmotu Mikelandželo skulptūrai draudzīgā, elegantā vidē. Tas ir Pilates instruktora ideja Džordžija Vuds Mērfijs — bijušais koledžas sportists, kaislīgs Pilates students un korporatīvās konsultants, kurš pārgāja uz pasniedzēju 2020. gadā Hjūstonā. Pēc pārcelšanās uz Ņujorku viņa turpināja savu korporatīvo koncertu, joprojām mācot. Pirms korporatīvās karjeras atvēršanas viņa strādāja vairākās studijās pilsētas centrā Tas 2024. gadā.
Vārds Tera cēlies no latīņu vārda līdzsvaru , kas nozīmē līdzsvaru, Mērfija saka, ka tas ir raksturīgs visam, ko viņa dara. Viņa skaidro: Tera sakņojas līdzsvarā — tas ir mūsu vārdā, mūsu DNS, tas ir visā, ko mēs darām.
Bet vai studija patiešām atbilst ažiotāžai? Lasiet tālāk manas domas.
Kas atšķir Tera?
1. Intīma kopiena, kas paredzēta tikai nosūtīšanai
Tas's appeal starts with its small community (the studio's membership is currently full, but it does have a gaidīšanas saraksts ). Smaller classes ensure individual attention and avoid the typical stressed-out NYC fitness class vibes. 'I created the environment that I needed when I moved to New York — a small community that goes beyond mindful movement, fostered by our intimate practice,' Murphy says.
Tas isn't just a community, though — it's a club. 'For the 'club' aspect,' Murphy shares, 'we also offer mat classes at Fouquet's , EMS [elektriskā muskuļu stimulācija] treniņi studijā un citi ekskluzīvi pasākumi. Tā kā mēs esam mazāka dizaina studija, katru nedēļu redzat vienas un tās pašas sejas. Nelielas sarunas bieži noved pie draudzības.
Studijā ir arī dalība tiešsaistes studijā 45 $ mēnesī, apvienojot paklājiņu un reformatoru Pilates, kā arī “fokusa zonas” nodarbības.
2. Pati studija
Studija, kas atrodas nemarķētā SoHo kolekcijā, jūtas kā slepenas biedrības mājvieta. Jūs zināt, ka esat tur, kad pamanīsiet granātsarkanās durvis. Iekšpusē gaisma pārpludina telpu caur jumta logiem un lieliem logiem. Dekoru un detaļas ir prasmīgi izstrādājis Mērfijs; padomājiet par Byredo Tulipe roku losjonu, Sidia produktiem, Happier Grocer ziepēm vannas istabā un nomierinošu krāsu paleti.

Kā izskatās Tera treniņš?
I'm a 40-year-old intermediate Pilates student and highly active individual. But Tera offered up an unexpected, hardcore burn. I took four classes, and each was formatted differently, which kept it fresh and interesting. These were some of my favorite aspects of the class:
Abs sērija ir slepkava.
Each class began with a muscle-trembling, 'I don't think I can make it' abs series. Remarkably, I loved each one, and I usually despise the abs portion of a class. What sets Tera apart here is the variety and pace, which kept me engaged. We used gray pilates balls for supportive crunches, added resistance handles for an arm bonus, and maneuvered our bodies every which way in tabletop position. Just when I thought it was over, the instructor would add, 'And we're gonna hold that curl and little pulses, up an inch, down an inch.' At the point of pure fatigue, we'd switch to the next abs exercise.
Nekas pārspēj krēsla apdegumu.
Every class included the Pilates chair, aka the Wunda Chair, a wooden piece of equipment with a pedal step. This was a new experience for me, even though I've been to many other Pilates studios. It felt like an additional core, arm, and oblique burn, deceptively easy in the first few seconds and then growing increasingly challenging and sweat-inducing.
Katrs vingrinājums ir svarīgs.
Tas's reformer lunges are unlike any other studio's lunges — they included ankle weights paired with swirly hand weights that looked like Keith Haring art. The lunges are full-body focused; I immediately felt them in my inner thighs, glutes, and traps. But my favorite exercise of the whole class was during the arms portion; it used a wooden roll-down bar that's connected to springs. You mimic kneading sourdough while positioned on the side of the reformer in a squat position, and my triceps burned like no other.
Jumpbords bija gan priecīgs, gan efektīvs.
One of the best parts of class was the jumpboard section; the board was magically placed at the end of the reformer while I was doing chair. This segment of the class was the cardio and plyometric section and gave me an endorphin-boosting, childlike feeling. The jumpboard is the Pilates version of a trampoline: you push off the board for a cardio boost, but you're simultaneously working your core and glutes, with cathartic karate kicks and booty-building bounces. For an additional resistance challenge, we wore ankle weights during jumpboard. This went from 'Wheeee!' to 'When is this over?' within three reps. All I can say is, OW.

Vai Tera Pilates ir tā vērts?
Pēc četrām nodarbībām mani abs jūtas tā, it kā tos būtu korsetejis Skims bodijs, un tas nav tikai abs — tas ir arī slēptās augšstilbu iekšpuses un tricepss, kas atkal ir sākuši ar mani runāt. Ja varat izkļūt no gaidīšanas saraksta (vai neiebilstat straumēt nodarbības mājās), Tera Pilates ir paredzēts ikvienam, kurš izbauda spēcīgo treniņu ar augstas noskaņas auru. Turklāt tiešsaistes nodarbības izskatās kā bumba, un es tās izmēģināšu vasaras ceļojumu laikā. Kurš zināja, ka kļūstot stiprākam, var justies tik sasodīti šiki?
