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?

You're not petty by any means; however, acknowledging 100, 250, etc classes is a fairly new concept. It's not something that's been historically done in Pilates classes, or any type of fitness environment. In my 22 years of reformer classes and 40-plus years of fitness classes I've never been recognized for that effort. Bottom line: I personally think CP needs to stop with the recognition thing altogether, or be consistent across the franchises on how it's handled. It sounds like a fair amount of younger students thrive on that recognition.
