About this episode

What does the rise of Pilates reveal about women, power, and the bodies we value most?

This week, I’m joined by fitness instructor, creator, and writer Mary Beth to unpack her viral New York Times feature connects Pilates to larger political and cultural trends. We talk about going viral, desirability, privilege, and what the most radical future for fitness could look like.
