All studio apparatus sessions require a private 1:1 initial consultation beforehand. An initial consultation is crucial to assess your physical condition and to help assist me in understanding your specific goals and needs. It also gives you the individual attention needed to learn how to correctly execute the exercises and learn the Pilates fundamentals in detail.
For mat work group classes I recommend you take 1-10 private sessions or attend a beginners mat work course prior to commencing basic mat classes.
One Pilates class/session a week ongoing is good. Two to three times a week is ideal.
This depends on what you would like to get out of your training and your physical condition.
Studio apparatus sessions give you individual attention and are tailored to your specific needs and goals; the use of the apparatus will guide and support your body, especially needed for rehabilitation and achieving profound results. I highly recommend you take private sessions if you are recovering from any injury or have chronic pain. Some specific cases must undergo private training.
The mat classes will give you a full body workout focusing on developing “the powerhouse” (core stability), spinal articulation and refined movement. Mat classes are designed for a group and although modifications will be taught for specific body types and issues, it isn’t possible to give personal attention if needed.
Regardless of prior experience in the Pilates method or your level of fitness, it is compulsory that every new client at BMS begin at level basic or complete an initial consultation before attending intermediate or advanced mat work classes. This is so I can assess where you’re at, as other studios may have differences in their teaching methods.
