Introduction assessment:

During this initial consultation, there will be a brief assessment, followed by an introduction to the studio, equipment, Pilates methodology and exercises. This session is intended as an opportunity to learn about your individual needs, goals, and possible limitations so that we can suggest the most appropriate training routine for you.

Depending on your fitness level and goals, you may get a solid workout or have the session focus more on assessment and rehabilitative techniques. In addition, you’ll learn which exercises are most appropriate for you and how to modify them, if needed. You’ll also learn which movements you should avoid (if any). This is particularly important if you plan to take group classes and we recommend trying to do the intro private with the teacher of the class(es) you might want to take. We want you to have a great class experience based on the solid foundation of detailed and personalized instruction – we also want you to know how to take care of yourself. Knowledge is the key to avoiding injury!
