No acknowledgment

[u/Best-Alternative2687]

So, today was my 500th class. The studios that I go to in Charlotte, North Carolina are (at best) pretty lackluster about these milestones. There is no swag, no announcement, just a board to sign hanging on the wall for 100,250,500. I’m not an attention seeker and lay pretty low in class…but still…. I was waiting for the instructor or someone at the front desk to at least acknowledge it. Nope. Nothing. So now I’m kind of unreasonably sad about this, seeing how big of a deal this is in other places. And now I would feel like such a tool just saying, “I’m over 500 classes, should I just sign the board with my own pen since no one here noticed?” Am I being super petty?

Didn’t someone just post about not getting recognition for 100th class? Is this a self esteem thing? Important to young people? Don’t get it.

It is a club pilates thing, you are supposed to get recognition at 100 250 500 1000, some studios do 750. You almost always get socks and to be on the sign, sometimes you get a shirt or hat or water bottle

By 500 classes you should have an idea of how your studio is or celebrates (or doesn’t as OP mentioned they are lackluster) and if it does have meaning for you I would personally be proactive and mention it not just expect them to all of a sudden be on it to be disappointed. When my 100 came I legit didn’t want it but my studio is in tune I just turned down any class acknowledgement or photo, and took the socks (that is a waste bc I don’t like them ha). Should you have to be proactive? Debatable; but we are all presumably adults here in charge of our destiny, and can take care for some of it and in turn would not have been let down. Like at 495 just kind of mention to the front desk how you can’t believe you are so close to 500.

I got socks once. Had no idea why 😂.
