What Happens During a Private Training Pilates Session?
A lot of people enter Pilates studios wanting group training, yet they've never been on a machine before. And don't get me wrong—the energy of a group class can be super fun. The music is high, the lights are low, and my competitive people are seeing how much longer they can out-plank their neighbor.
But the number one thing we hear from new clients is that they're nervous because they've never been on a machine before.
Now, that doesn't mean private training is just for people who are nervous or brand new.
When you have super specific goals, have never been on a reformer, haven't been working out, or quite frankly want something completely tailored to you and your body, private training can be one of the most effective ways to train.
So much so that Pilates and Lagree actually started as personal training.
And so did Core (LP).
Private training allows us to slow things down when we need to, answer your questions in real time, pay attention to the details and build the workout around you.
Your coach is watching everything.
In a group class, your coach is watching a room full of people. In private training, they're watching you.
Your alignment. Your range of motion. Your control. Your breathing. How you're handling the resistance. Where you're compensating. Where you need to slow down. Where you can push harder.
And because it's just you and your coach, we can slow things down when you need to.
Have a question? Ask it.
Don't understand why we're doing something? Let's talk about it.
Need to go through an exercise again? We can.
That attention to detail matters. The better you understand the movement and the better you execute it, the faster we can progress you.
That's the point of private training: individualized coaching that allows us to build the workout around your goals, your body and where you are that day.
You build the schedule with your coach.
One of the biggest benefits of private training is that you're not trying to make your life fit around a preset group class schedule.
You and your coach build your training schedule together.
If Tuesday at 6:00 works, great. If Thursday morning is better, that's your training time.
And if your schedule changes, you can work with your coach to adjust it.
For people with demanding schedules, travel, kids, work, or just a calendar that doesn't fit neatly into a group fitness schedule, that flexibility can make a huge difference.
You're still committing to your training. You're just building the schedule around your life instead of your life around the class schedule.
Private Pilates training keeps you accountable for your goals.
Private training gives your coach the ability to program specifically for what you're trying to accomplish…and make sure show up.
Maybe you're training for a race and need more strength without adding more impact.
Maybe you're trying to build a stronger upper body..
Maybe you've had the goal for years and are ready for something more personal than another workout to follow and hope it works.
The point is, private training is the ultimate fast track towards helping you stay accountable to get to the pant size, PR, or core strength you’ve been working towards.
We specialize in coaching the person.
For a lot of places, you're buying access to a packed class.
At Core (LP) Berkley + Rochester Hills, we specialize in coaching the person. That means keeping you accountable to show up, checking in when you aren't here, measuring your progress and giving you the tools to support what you really want.
We're looking at your history, your goals and where you are now, and helping you create a solid plan to get you there.
Because your goal shouldn't live in your head for another five years while you sit in a class of 20 hoping this is the thing that gets you there.
It should have a plan behind it.
That's why we start with a consultation. We'll talk about where you are, where you want to go and what it will take to get you there.
