Private Sessions

Not at all. Private sessions are actually an ideal way to begin your Pilates practice. Your instructor will take time to understand your goals and movement background, then create a personalized approach that builds your confidence and strength at the right pace for you. Whether you're completely new to Pilates or have some experience, private sessions provide the focused attention and tailored guidance to help you develop strong foundations for your practice.

Your first session begins with a brief chat about your goals and any physical concerns. Your instructor will then introduce you to Pilates fundamentals and guide you through exercises on the reformer at a comfortable pace. You'll learn proper form and technique while getting hands-on guidance tailored to your needs.

Private sessions are held in our main studio space. You'll have your own dedicated reformer and instructor's full attention, though other members may be using other reformers in the space.

Keep it simple and comfortable. Wear form-fitting athletic wear that lets you move freely and allows your instructor to see your alignment. Grip socks are required for all sessions - you can bring your own, purchase a pair at the studio, or borrow a clean loaner pair if you forget yours. No need to bring equipment; just come with a water bottle if you'd like.

Private sessions are 55 minutes. We recommend arriving 5 minutes before your scheduled time to get settled and chat briefly with your instructor about that day's focus.

Yes, you're welcome to choose your preferred instructor when booking. If you're new to the studio and unsure who might be the best fit, let us know your goals and schedule, and we'll happily match you with an instructor whose teaching style and expertise align with your needs.

Please cancel or reschedule your session at least 24 hours in advance. Sessions canceled within 24 hours or missed without notice will be forfeited. We understand that emergencies happen - if you're ill or have an urgent situation, reach out to us by email at hello@craftpilates.com and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Private sessions can be an excellent way to work around injuries or support recovery, as your instructor can fully customize the workout to your needs. Please let us know about any injuries or medical conditions before your first session. While our instructors are movement specialists who can offer modifications and alternative exercises, they don't provide medical advice. For serious injuries or conditions, we ask that you get clearance from your healthcare provider before starting. That way, we can work together to create a safe, effective practice that supports your healing.
