Is Pilates Worth It for Tall Girls? Let’s Find Out… ft. Debi aka Tall Girl Pilates

Let’s face it, Pilates has been one of the BIGGEST TRENDS of 2024.

And understandably so. Many people, both men and women, have been looking for ways to increase their strength and tone their bodies without putting so much stress on them that they feel very tired at the end of the day.

And lowkey I’ve been there before lol.

With the rise of the popularity of Pilates, especially with TikTok influencers, sometimes I question if Pilates is really worth it. Especially as a tall girl.

Today I’m joined by certified tall girl Debi aka Tall Girl Pilates on Instagram. Debi is a Pilates and fitness instructor dedicated to helping tall women and women over 35 years old find wellness through fitness. She’s certified through Balanced Body and holds an NPCP certification, which is the only National Pilates Certification Program out there. This advanced certification requires renewal every two years through continuing education, meaning she’s always learning and growing—not just as an instructor, but as a person, too.

As a tall girl, she’s struggled with keeping up in fitness. She found it difficult to do certain exercises (like squats) as fast as her peers and to use machines that don’t cater well to long limbs. However, she learned over time that exercising as a tall woman is going to look extremely different than it does for others and works to spread that message through her content.

Tune in to the full episode to learn more about her journey in fitness as a tall girl and some fitness/Pilates tips for tall women!!
