Sophie Cunningham shares unexpected WNBA offseason mishap

WNBA: Sophie Cunningham details challenging Pilates sessions during offseason recovery

Cunningham has been grinding in the gym this offseason, leaning on Pilates as a key part of her recovery and conditioning. In the latest episode of her “Show Me Something” podcast, the Fever guard put the spotlight on her Pilates instructor. Cunningham gave the shoutout during the show’s “Hot Girls of the Week” segment.

“It has to be my Pilates instructor. Her name is Taylor. She’s a freakin’ beast. She kicks my [expletive], and I feel so good. So I’m just shouting out Taylor for getting me into shape,” she said.

Co-host and childhood friend West Wilson quipped that he hoped Taylor wasn’t going easy on her. Cunningham was quick to set the record straight. She shared a story about a springs mishap that turned an already tough abs session into something else entirely.

“She doesn’t. Listen to this. She messed up the springs last time, and I was doing these abs, and I’m like, ‘Wow’! I took a couple of days off, but I felt like I couldn’t do anything. And she’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t even do that.’ And she’s like a professional Pilates person. But she’s the best,” Cunningham added.

If the springs mishap is any indication, Cunningham is arriving at full strength. The Fever will need her at her best when the 2026 season tips off on May 9.
