What Makes Private Appointments Different from Group Classes: Complete individualization—every exercise, every repetition, every cue is specifically for YOUR body and goals. Your instructor’s full attention for 45 minutes, immediate form corrections, progression at YOUR pace, flexibility to address what your body needs that day, and use of all studio equipment (not just what fits a group format).
Typical Frequency Recommendations:
- 1x/week: Maintenance, supplement to other training, busy schedule
- 2x/week: Steady progress, balanced approach, most common
- 3x/week: Accelerated results, dedicated practice, significant goals
Your instructor will recommend frequency based on your goals and consultation assessment.
Perfect For: Clients who value personalized attention and instruction; those with busy schedules needing flexible session content; practitioners wanting to progress at their own pace; people who thrive on individualized programming; clients supplementing group classes with private work; anyone seeking deeper understanding of their Pilates or Fitness practice; and individuals with specific goals requiring customized approach.
