Pilates on Fifth Online

Is anyone familiar with this site and if so, any opinions? Lots of variety (pilates/barre) and the price is very reasonable. They also sell individual downloads in addition to streaming.

The twins! I remember them from quite a number of years years ago. They had a rebounding and pilates DVD called Cardiolates. I think I even owned it one point.
ETA - I just checked on Amazon, the DVD's from 2006 - wow 12 years ago.

But to answer your question, I don't know anything about their site. I didn't even know they were still in business.

Oh no! "The Twins"? Somehow, this sounds ominous but their website looks great! Were the DVDs any good? I am still interested in the workouts which there seems to be a lot of for the monthly fee of $12.99.

Well, I remember the music for their rebounding was very cheesy, lol.
I couldn't find a clip of that DVD but I found this clip from 2010:

I don't recall what their pilates was like but I recall they did all moves in synchronized tandem. They might still do. (Not sure if that would bother you or not.) They're quite experienced and no doubt very good but their twin-ness was rather gimmicky. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

Their website looks like it would be completely different from what you describe, Gina. I wonder if this is the same site?

They are the same women. Perhaps their business model has changed.

I was a member for a year or so. I thought their site then was great, as was customer service when I made a billing error.

Thank you. I think I'll sign up for couple of months and see how I like it.

It wasn't my favorite of the all the pilates sites. Their stuff was a little too "classical" and I got bored. I also managed to hurt myself with a few of their beginner videos.

For someone who knows a lot about pilates, it's probably fine.
