Privates

A private lesson is a one-on-one session with an instructor. The 50-55 minute lesson is the ideal way to learn pilates. Each body has many different needs based on goals, injuries, strengths or weaknesses. A private lesson will give your body a tailored program with the combination of mat work and apparatus work (equipment). Your program changes as needed. You may have heard the quote "in ten sessions you will feel better, in twenty sessions you will look better, and in 30 sessions you will have a whole new body." This quote, from Joseph Pilates, was based on doing the 30 sessions as privates, three times per week, for ten consecutive weeks and is widely used in the pilates world because it can be true. The important thing to remember is what it means. Most people cannot dedicate ten consecutive weeks and may not be able to afford what 30 private lessons cost in that amount of time. This is why it usually takes longer than ten weeks or 30 sessions to have a "whole new body". Privates lessons are prepaid and scheduled by appointment only.

Semi-Privates

A semi-private lesson is a session with up to three clients to one instructor. The 50-55 minute lesson is a great lower cost alternative to a private lesson. You should be healthy and okay on your own for a few minutes at a time. You are required to know your own program and must be semi-approved before going into this type of lesson. Although most of the time you will do your own program, the instructor may choose to keep everyone together for change of routine. New exercises may be taught, but generally are taught in private lessons. Also, if you only take semi-privates and/or mat classes regularly, it is important to take an occasional private lesson. This will monitor your progress, fine tune exercises, add new ones, or modify your program if needed. Semis are ideal for those that enjoy to work out in a group setting. Semis privates are prepaid and scheduled by appointment only.

Mat Classes

Mat classes are group classes with up to 5 people to one instructor. Each class is 45 minutes long. These classes are the most affordable type of pilates class and very popular. Combining mat work and apparatus work is the most effective way to do pilates, but not the only way. Mat classes are great for people wanting to add an extra workout. Mat work is the "heart and soul" of pilates. To do the mat work correctly takes a lot of time and effort, but is very rewarding. In a group setting, the risk of doing an exercise wrong is greater. This makes it easier to hurt yourself or not feel the work in the right places. These are the main reasons for the 10 person limit per class.

You are not required to take private lessons or a mat series to attend a mat class. However, it would be beneficial for you, as an individual to learn the exercises for your body. Mat classes are prepaid with specific class times to choose from. Mat Class Schedule Link

Mat Series

A mat series is a four week 2x per week course. Each class is 45 minutes. Each series will have a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 people. It is designed to take a small group of people through the basic or intermediate mat exercises. This will prepare you for going into a mat class and learn the exercises at the level you are at. Although anyone is invited to take a mat series, it was created for those who are not planning on doing any private lessons. This is a prepaid course. If you miss a class, it cannot be made up. Please check your schedules before signing up for a series. (If an instructor is absent, the class will be rescheduled).
