Calisthenics vs. Pilates: Which Is Actually Better? | Featuring Coach Tori (EP. 96)
Welcome to episode 96 of the Northstar Podcast! Coach Tori is back for part two, and we catch up on the new studio, her eight-day mental health journal, and why movement and community matter when someone’s struggling. We get into calisthenics—crow pose wrapping up, muscle-ups, what a class actually looks like, and the hot take of calisthenics vs Pilates (spoiler: using both is the move).
