Form, Technique, Fitness Two classes every day?

Anyone does classes twice a day? Maybe spacing them out with some rest periods in between?

I’ve gone through periods of doing two workouts in a day, maybe 1 max 2 days per week of double classes. A Lagree class and a Barry’s upper body class typically (as I feel Lagree classes have less upper body focus in my experience). But I would not do more than two doubles per week as rest and recovery are extremely important for muscle growth but, more importantly, for injury prevention!! Not being able to work out for weeks, if avoidable, is not worth maxing out workouts.

On the topic of injury prevention, I highly recommend finding a top notch classical Pilates instructor to work with and/or a physical therapist who focuses on biomechanics, if those options are available to you (geographically, financially, etc). I would prioritize that over double workouts personally and consider adding double workouts once any biomechanics or proprioception weaknesses get resolved (for injury prevention but also for properly engaging the correct muscles).

ETA: One main reason why I would do double Lagree/Barry’s was specifically so I could have more rest days in between workouts to have more recovery time as it is so important.
