Gymnast Simone Biles vows to 'never go back' to Pilates class, cites first-time experience
Simone Biles is an elite athlete and one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, but she recently admitted that she's been struggling to stay fit.
Biles apparently took a break after winning her fifth, sixth and seventh Olympic gold medals earlier this year in Paris.
But recently he has resumed his workouts.
According to Biles' social media account, Pilates was at least part of her first post-Olympic workout, but her experience with the popular exercise wasn't something she loved doing either.
