Yes, private Pilates training is highly beneficial for beginners as it allows for personalized instruction and guidance tailored to individual needs. A private instructor can introduce beginners to the fundamentals of Pilates, including proper alignment, breathing techniques, and foundational exercises. Private sessions offer a safe and effective way for beginners to learn Pilates principles and develop a strong foundation before progressing to more advanced techniques.
Most studios recommend starting with privates before progressing to groups for this reason.
Before your first session, our Pilates for beginners guide answers many common questions and explains the foundational principles.

Common equipment aside from the Pilates Reformer includes resistance bands, Pilates rings, stability balls, and dumbells. The Reformer achieves 90% of the resistance that we need and then we add it some fun props to build on it.

Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows for ease of movement! You should avoid loose or baggy attire that may get caught in equipment. Pilates socks with grip bottoms or bare feet are also recommended to provide traction and stability during exercises. Feel free to bring your own water bottle, but towels and water cups will be provided.
If it's your first visit, our guide on what to wear to a Pilates Reformer class covers clothing recommendations in more detail.

It is important to have energy during a session! It’s advisable to eat a light meal or snack 1-2 hours before a Pilates session but to avoid heavy meals that may cause discomfort during exercise. We also keep light snacks in the studio in case you’re ever in a pinch and need something small.
Everyone's routine is a little different, so our guide on whether to eat before Pilates offers practical recommendations before your session.
