Latest reviews of My Pilates Guru: Pilates exercises for fitness, well-being and relaxation app for iPhone and iPad
This seemed to be the clearest Pilates app. I didnt want to watch videos, and I wanted to log the sessions Ive done. This app is a companion to a book that actually explains how to to the positions. I tried to buy the ebook through the link in the app, but its not available in the Canadian iBookstore. I could just look at the photos in the app and guess, but they lost a customer for their book.
So organized!!! And is really amazing
I used to have the previous version you were getting for free after you purchased the book. This application now is almost the same but does not give you the transparency of the cost. You are asked to pay for every exercise. You do not know how much you will finally pay.
This app is great if you know the basics and want a nice list to help you remember what to do on your own. Im in a Pilates class once a week and this is perfect for the rest of the week for me to practice by myself. Theyve got something great here with or without the book. Lots of suggested workouts, can build your own, etc. I would totally have paid $1 for this app without the book and with a disclaimer that you should only use it in conjunction with a book or class or whatever. But this app is great for organizing workouts if you already know how to do the exercises. Needs to be updated for iPhone 5 screen, then 5 stars. Everything else about it is perfect. All the other apps have videos which is good if you have no idea how to do the exercises but annoying if you do and just want a customizable list, like me.
Wonderful to use!! Love how you can track your favorite exercises and progress. Helpful images with every exercise. 29 sessions total. Love it!
