Don’t like to leave your house to exercise? Too busy to get to the studio or conform to a mat class schedule? Or do you have a few friends and your own space, but need an instructor? I will come to you. Many clients with private workout spaces and gyms prefer the convenience of exercising in their own homes.
While the apparatus has always been a part of traditional Pilates, Joseph Pilates himself preached the importance of faithfully performing his Contrology exercises regularly at home to maintain optimal health. If you live in the Sarasota/Bradenton area, and have adequate space, at-home sessions are a great way to get started and stay disciplined, or to supplement your studio sessions.
At-home sessions without equipment can be one-on-one sessions, or group sessions with any number of people. Create your own class! Get a group of your friends together and supply the space, and I’ll conveniently come to you. Sessions include complete personal instruction for all Pilates exercises on the mat, and can also include Reformer on the Mat exercises, Magic Circle exercises, and variations on the Ball. Clients need only supply a firm mat.
At-home sessions with equipment require you to supply the space and the apparatus. Depending on the equipment you choose to purchase or already have available, sessions would include complete personal instruction for classical Pilates exercises on your apparatus, and can also incorporate Pilates exercises on the mat, as well as exercises with the Magic Circle and Ball.
If you are considering purchasing Pilates equipment for your home, high quality, authentic Pilates apparatus makes all of the difference, and is a significant investment. With the many types and manufacturers available today, the decision can be daunting, and the product disappointing. I highly recommend speaking with a professional Pilates instructor for appropriate guidance. Having personally worked with and on a wide variety of equipment by numerous manufacturers, I can offer suggestions based on your needs and preferences. I also offer complete home studio consultation and design services to ensure you make the appropriate choices for your investment.
