Sessions
The PilatesBody, Inc. offers a variety of sessions to suit the needs of our clients.
Postural Assessment
This 55 minute private assessment will introduce you to the basic principles of Pilates and allow The PilatesBody, Inc. to design a program based on your individual needs. All new clients are required to have a postural assessment prior to participating in training at The PilatesBody, Inc.
Private Session
The PilatesBody, Inc. recommends each new client taking at least five private sessions. This will allow the client to understand both Pilates and the way The PilatesBody, Inc. operates. The individualized attention will be valuable in each subsequent training endeavor.
Privates use a variety of apparatuses to train the client adequately. The Reformer is the most widely used piece of equipment, but other pieces, such as the Cadillac, Stability Chair, Ladder Barrel and Mat are used to give the most wide-ranging workout. In a private session, one client and one trainer work together to improve the client's strength, agility and flexibility.
Duet Session
Duet sessions partner two clients of similar abilities with one trainer. A variety of equipment is used like with a private, but the same individualized attention is not as present as with the private.
Group Session
Group sessions are typically done on the reformer. It is during these groups that The PilatesBody, Inc. trainers try to emphasize the concept of flow. Fast paced exercises and short transitions tend to make these groups high in cardiovascular intensity.
Mat Classes
Mat classes are strictly performed on the Mat surface. Each class can have anywhere from five to ten individuals, with the trainer focusing on cuing the group in each movement. These classes are fast-paced, and sometimes use handweights, resistance bands, fitness circles and other equipment to increase intensity.
Personal Training
The PilatesBody, Inc. currently employs five certified personal trainers. These sesions can be done as privates, duets or groups. Each session uses a variety of weighted and resistance equipment to build muscle and cardiovascular endurance. They are an excellent complement to our traditional Pilates classes.
