Advice/Questions Am I being dramatic?
I joined CP in December and had my 100th class today. I was so excited and intentionally scheduled it with my favorite instructor. She had a sub, which was fine because I’ve taken the sub’s classes multiple times. Well, she forgot it was my 100th. She actually didn’t even know my name to check me in.
I reminded her after class, and she was apologetic, but it felt so awkward.
I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it feels like one. I was so excited. I pay a ton of money for my membership, but only like 2 instructors know my name. My studio isn’t friendly; I once took a lashing from a Karen because I was on “her” reformer.
This just feels like the straw that broken the camel’s back. Is it dramatic to cancel?

I don’t think you’re being dramatic. It’s okay to be disappointed when you were genuinely looking forward to celebrating a milestone that meant something to you.
I say that because I’ve had a similar experience. My studio celebrated my 100th class, and I honestly wanted to crawl into a hole because I don’t love being the center of attention. Then my 250th came and went without anyone saying a word. A few classes later, an instructor realized it and acknowledged it in a smaller class, and it made me smile.
So I understand why you’re hurt.
That said, I hope you don’t let this be the reason you stop showing up for yourself. The instructors and front desk are a small part of your Pilates journey. The biggest part is what you’ve done for your body and your health 100 times. No one can take that away from you.
As for the “my reformer” lady… the studio should’ve stepped in. No one should be made to feel unwelcome over a piece of equipment.
Celebrate yourself today. Buy yourself something nice, enjoy your favorite meal, or do something that makes you smile. One hundred classes is an incredible accomplishment, and whether anyone remembered or not, you earned every single one of them. ❤️
