    Private Apparatus Session
    One on one session on a reformer and other apparatus (Gratz Equipment). A minimum of 10 sessions must be completed before advancing to semi-private lessons. This allows you time to get accustomed to the equipment and to be able to navigate through the exercises. 55 minutes

    Semi-Private Apparatus Session
    2 clients work together. To ensure the best workout, it is important that you work with someone as close to your level as possible. Mix and match semi private sessions with privates and a mat to obtain the most complete weekly workouts. 55 minutes

    Group Pilates Studio Wall Unit Class
    This is a class for 3 to 5 clients on the Pilates Studio Wall Unit. These units are versatile and allow for focused work on all of the target core areas. Ideal for group instruction and priced "just right" These classes run once a week for 4 weeks starting at the beginning of each month. 55 minutes

    Private Mat Session
    One-On-One instruction. Some client may want private instruction in mat before going into a group setting. The Private Mat allows for guided, individual attention that is sure to get you prepared for level one. Or if you'd just like to schedule a mat class for your convenience, this is for you. These sessions can be done in a private or semi private workout.

    Group Pilates Mat Class
    Mat class is divided into the following 4 levels.

    Pre-Pilates
    This class is for anyone who has not had Pilates before. Pre-Pilates classes are required before moving on the level 1 and the lead instructor will determine when you are ready to advance. Some clients need 2 to 4 sessions while others may take longer.

    Level 1
    Basic Pilates mat class. There is a warm up followed by the basic Pilates exercises. Attention is paid to form and alignment as well as familiarity with the Pilates Mat routine. 50 minutes

    Level 2
    Intermediate class. The exercises are more vigorous. At this level you are expected to know the names of the exercises and to perform each one for a better "flow" to the mat class. This level provides a cardio like workout. 50 minutes

    Level 3
    Advanced Pilates mat. At this level you will be expected to know all of the exercises and be able to do them in a safe and rigorous manner. Emphasis is placed on precision, flow, control and concentration. This class moves quickly from beginning to end. 50 minutes




    All sessions are by appointment only except for Mat classes where drop-ins are allowed with permission of the instructor on a space available basis.
