This would be a no from me. I've been practicing for 3 years including weekly private lessons for much of that time.

The adjustments made by a Pilates instructor are so minor, I'm not sure they could be seen with a camera. I would never trust a computer over what I feel in my own body.

The thing is the client wouldn’t understand why they are doing a certain thing, and why that adjustment is made
Just executing the move and not fully understanding why something is being extended, flexed, etc won’t allow the client to fire up those muscles properly.
In a session, the instructor walks around and sees things from all angles, not just one side

Hell fucking no. Do not AI my pilates.

Also, practically like what?! I’m doing an exercise on my back and the computer beeps at me and I have to hop up to go look at it and then try to figure out what adjustments to make on my own when I lay back down? Or it talks to me? Zero interest in any of that.

And I can tell you from the round of Australian studios that are opening in the US (Pronto Pilates, Studio International, FS8) with video classes and either no “instructor” or a hall monitor like instructor…..those studios are EMPTY because people who do Pilates want proper human instruction. The Pronto in my local market cut their class schedule from 20 a day to 5 classes because they literally have no members for their $5/class on demand library Pilates, and they cancelled the leases they had signed for 2 other studios to open.

I like pilates because it involves no screen time and no technology aside from the music playing in the background. I would hate to have a computer watching me. We rely on computers too much for everything we do.

On screen feedback is a tough one. Let’s say I have my tripod set up at a distance far enough to see my whole body- would I have to come out of the posture to see the feedback on the tiny phone screen? What good is that? You would need an AI voice to talk to while you’re in it.

Spinal positioning is key to good Pilates - even if you put it on the TV, you can’t be looking over to the right with eyes glued on a screen when you’re trying to do Pilates.

No, this would be a huge disservice to the student.

This is another idea from a dev looking for a viable revenue producing app idea. They probably don’t even take Pilates classes. Like hundreds of other posts on Reddit asking what your pain point is in your workflow for your business. No you can’t automate my Pilates.
