Private Session:   A One-on-one session. Your instructor takes you through many exercises according to your level. Strict attention is given to form, for a deep-muscle workout. Exercises are done on the apparatus and the mat.

Duet Session:   A semi-private session (two people). Some Pilates experience is necessary, unless both partners are beginners.

Apparatus Class:   A small group class where students spend a large portion on the Reformer. But, because Pilates is a system, the class also works on the mat and other apparatus. Depending on the level of the class, you may be asked to schedule an evaluation or be required to take private sessions first.

Mat Class:   Exercises are done on Pilates mats. Students work against gravity, but small items, such as hand weights and magic circles, may be incorporated. Mat class is a great place to learn exercises you can do anywhere. Depending on the level of the class, you may be asked to schedule an evaluation or be required to take private sessions first.

Apprentice Private Session:   A discounted private session with a teacher trainee (working toward certification). These trainees are teaching uder the supervision of an experienced instructor.
