Gooseneck kettle, stovetop
Jun is right about the stovetop one. Mine has been through two studio moves and it still pours straight.
Sofia Reyes
Pilates instructor in Lisbon. Things I actually use, not things I was sent.
re-shelved 3 times
Coffee scale with timer
Bought this for coffee, now I weigh my protein with it too. Nine of ten.
One litre steel bottle
One litre, so I can count. Two of these a teaching day and I stop getting headaches at four o clock.
Mineral SPF 50
Sits under makeup without pilling, which took me six tubes of other things to find.
Gel cleanser, fragrance free
I wash my face four times a day between classes. This is the only one that has not wrecked my skin.
Magnesium glycinate
Glycinate, not citrate, unless you want to spend the evening in the bathroom. Learned this the hard way.
Lacrosse ball
A four dollar ball does what a ninety dollar massage gun does, for the one spot under your shoulder blade.
Short foam roller, firm
The full-length ones do not fit in a bag and you will stop bringing it. Short and firm, every time.
Everyday sports bra, medium support
I teach eight classes on a Saturday and this is the one I am wearing in all of them.
Girlfriend Collective compressive leggings
High enough that they do not roll when you are upside down, which is the only test that matters.
Magic circle, padded
The unpadded ones bruise the inside of your thighs and nobody warns you. Pay the four dollars.
Balanced Body sitting box
Cheaper than the studio version and dimensionally identical. I measured both.
Bala bangles, 1lb
Heavier than they look. Worth the extra twelve dollars over the half-pound pair, because you will outgrow those in a month.
Toesox grip socks
The only pair that stay put on a reformer. I have had mine three years and there are still no holes in the toes.
