Gymnast Simone Biles vows to 'never' return to Pilates class, cites difficulty with first experience
Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Simone Biles is an elite athlete and one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, but she recently admitted she struggled to get through a workout.
Biles apparently took some time off after she won her fifth, sixth and seventh Olympic gold medals earlier this year in Paris.
But she recently resumed her workouts.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}According to Biles' social media account, Pilates was at least part of her first post-Olympics workout, but her experience with the popular exercise was not something she is interested in doing again.

"First time working out since the olympics," the superstar gymnast wrote on her Instagram story Wednesday. "This is what I wore to a Pilates class that I will never be attending again! Y'all stay strong out there lmao. It was too hard."
