This week’s episode is a replay worth revisiting — or discovering for the first time — because the “Pilates body” trend is making the rounds on social media yet again. Aly DiRoma takes listeners back to her popular Truth or Trend segment, where she unpacks what’s really behind this long, lean, “toned” aesthetic that’s been tied to Pilates for decades. She explores why results vary so widely from person to person, why genetics and nutrition play a bigger role than the internet admits, and how consistency — not a specific body type — is the true hallmark of Pilates practice. With a mix of candid stories from the studio and myth-busting facts, Aly reminds us that if you practice Pilates, you already have a Pilates body — and the deeper benefits go far beyond what’s in the mirror. This replay feels especially timely as the conversation around aesthetics in fitness heats up, making it the perfect moment to revisit a balanced, experience-backed perspective.
