What kind of classes can I take in a Pilates studio or fitness club?
Every Pilates studio, health club and fitness facility has its own program, however the following types of classes are often available.
Group mat class: This is a great place for beginners to start, and a fun, social way to continue Pilates practice. Ideally these classes have a manageable student-teacher ratio (10-15 students) so the instructor can monitor each individual's form and progress. Classes are usually leveled for beginner, intermediate and advanced students.
Group Reformer class: With the advent of smaller, more economical Reformers more and more fitness clubs are adding group Reformer classes to their Pilates roster.
Session for 2-4 students: Sometimes called duets, trios and quads, these small group sessions are a little more economical per participant than a private session, but still allows for plenty of individual assessment, guidance and monitoring.
Private one-on-one session: A personal training session is the most effective way to learn, practice and perfect your Pilates performance. The instructor devotes undivided attention to your specific needs and develops a custom program for optimum results.
