To evaluate your needs, begin creating an awareness of the deep core muscles and establish a foundation in the technique, we recommend a one-on-one entrance assessment followed by 3 to 5 private sessions. This allows us to tailor a program to suit your needs.
Following your introduction to STOTT PILATES exercise, these session options are available:
• Private: one-on-one personal training
• Semi-private: work out with a friend (you must provide your own friend as we are unable to match you up with a partner)
• Instructor-led groups: join a regularly scheduled group or coordinate your own group of four to eight people
Sessions are typically 55 minutes in length. Please arrive a few minutes early to receive your full session.
Entrance Assessment
Duration - 1 hour
The most effective introduction to STOTT PILATES is through an Entrance Assessment. An Entrance Assessment is an hour-long private training session. Your trainer begins by doing a postural analysis. This analysis takes 10-15 minutes and permits the trainer to create a postural profile that will allow all future workouts at Studio Praxis to be tailored to your particular postural characteristics. In the 45 minutes that follow, your trainer will take you through a STOTT PILATES workout that focuses on basic principles and essential-level exercises. If you are new to pilates-based exercise, the pace of this session may seem slow since we are just beginning to make you aware of deep core muscles. If you've had prior experience with pilates exercise, your trainer will set a pace that matches your level of ability. Following the workout, you and your trainer will discuss your training options. From private sessions to group classes - from beginner to advanced-level training, your trainer will work with you to create a regime with your health and fitness goals in mind. Entrance Assessments can be booked anytime by calling the studio coordinator.
Introductory Privates
Duration - 55 minutes
Introductory Privates are one-on-one sessions designed to get you ready for group classes. Following your Entrance Assessment, your trainer will indicate if Introductory Privates are suitable for you.
Beginner Classes
Duration - 55 minutes
In Beginner classes, we review the basic principles and cover Essential-Level exercises in preparation for you to join regular group classes. Beginner classes are Mat-based and you're welcome to stay in the Beginner program until you feel confident entering regular classes.
Beginner classes are also a great way to refresh on the basics after you've been away from pilates for a period of time. Capacity for Beginner classes is 8 participants.
