LIKED AND EXCLUDED POSES "Like" poses to increase the probability they will appear in your practice. "Dislike" poses and they will never appear in your practice. TRANSITION SPEED Design a pace that works for you by controlling the amount of time you'll move between one exercise and another. HOLD LENGTHS AND REPS Decide whether you'll move quickly through an exercise or stay awhile and feel the burn by varying the length of your static holds and number of reps. COOLDOWN OPTIONS Customize whether you'll sweat until the very end or finish off your practice with stretching and relaxation. MULTIPLE LANGUAGES In addition to our English speaking voices, all pilates practices are available in many other languages! SYNC BETWEEN DEVICES Automatically syncs across all your devices. "This practice was great. The transitions were very clear and I was able to do all the exercises with just a little bit of difficulty. What I really liked was that the instructor gave instructions in detail like when to squeeze the abs and when to imagine a wall behind you when you're standing. I found that really helpful." - Mara "Omg I LOVED IT! I do Pilates all the time (weekly) at home. This was the best session I’ve taken maybe ever! You guys did it again! Great job DDApp" - Molly Integrates with the Apple Health app!
