@pollyanne. I like my health club because it’s the only one that has a pool other than a Y. The Y has classes but you have to sign up for them and pay for the session. At my club that’s all included in the membership fee, except for a few things that have a very low teacher-member ratio.
There is no extra fee for yoga and regular Pilates so I’ve tried them recently. They are both more difficult than I expected and they work your core so much that if I have eaten anything within the last couple of hours I get very sick feeling. I do plan to try again when the club reopens though and I think I will pay the extra to do Pilates Reformer. I did that before and it was easier for me than regular Pilates.
When we were in Maui our condo was on a beach that I think was called sugar beach. It was a great beach for walking and there were never many people there.

My daughter has a vacation home in England, she told me that in England pilates is a preferred treatment for back pain. I used the reformer a few times in my PT. It felt good because it really stretches the spine and decompress the discs. She has a reformer at home too and she has been skyping her lessons with her instructor. Too bad I live 60 miles from her so I can't use that.

I agree, a good gym is great. Sugar beach is down at the other end of the island from where we are. The beach nearest us gets really busy. Today they closed the pools where we live which I am pleased about. It didn't make sense to have groups gathering. I did a shorter walk today as I didn't seem to have the energy. I hope I am ok. It is a bit worrying at the moment if I don't feel 100%. Pilates is good but I did make myself feel much worse when I tried it. I think you need to start very slowly.
