Prices & Classes

I am always being asked 'what is the difference between mat work and equipment Pilates?'

  The simple answer is cost versus quicker results.

In a mat work class, all participants do the same exercise as determined by the teacher. There may be small variations to an exercise to accommodate more able people but generally everyone does the same thing. The class size is usually determined by the size of the room and by the teacher. Typically, class sizes can be between four to twelve. I love teaching four people and generally won't teach more than 8 in a class as I think the quality of teaching suffers with very large numbers. The cost of a mat work lesson is cheaper than a 1:1 session as the cost is spread between the number of participants.

Equipment Pilates is a more intense experience as you are being taught on a 1:1 basis and using the Pilates equipment such as the reformer and trapeze. Resistance is added to make the exercises easier or more challenging depending on what the goal is. Faster results can be achieved as each exercise is devised to meet the client's goal. As the session is on an individual basis for an hour then this is reflected in the price.
