Three people who responded to this thread have been injured doing TA's w/o's - Mommyofjoeyp, CarlaVeg, Cassy. I can't think of any other instructor mentioned here where others have similarly mentioned injuries. I use the PP workout regularly and there is one exercise where she has you lifting and lowering your straight legs as high as possible and then down to the floor, without mentioning a modification of lowering your legs down only halfway, which is mind blowing as her form is outright dangerous. Any Pilates instructor worth her salt would include a modification of this movement. Then when I tried TA's Mat w/o once was struck by how she just stood in front of the camera and too frequently did not instruct at all. Then I read that in the Meta series she instructs even less. Frankly, I think fame got the better of her. It is downright cocky not to keep the focus on form, form, and more form. I took a couple of Pure Barre classes last week and specifically asked the instructor before class if she wouldn't mind watching my form and advising if it were correct or not because I recently had a lower back injury and she never came up to me once. I think instructors' heads are in the clouds too often and I lose a lot of respect for any fitness professional not mindful of form.
