Getting Started
“We should recognize the mental functions of the mind and the physical limitations of the body so that complete coordination between them may be achieved.”
~Joseph H. Pilates
We offer a free, initial consultation visit. This scheduled, 30-minute appointment allows you to meet us, see the studio, discuss your goals and scheduling options, and to get a feel for the “chemistry” here at Joe’s Place. We highly recommend this no-obligation, free visit and welcome the opportunity to meet you, answer any questions you may have, and offer you information about the Pilates method and how it can benefit your health and wellness.
Once you make the decision to become a client, we recommend that you begin with a series of private sessions. This initial group of sessions is important in setting the basic foundation for your Pilates work. Clients will learn each exercise with proper form and alignment, as well as any modifications that might be appropriate. Through careful
one-on-one teaching, clients learn the order of the exercises, the principles of Pilates, equipment set-up, and the system of exercises that is right for their body and their personal fitness goals.
We recommend a minimum of five private sessions before moving on to semi-private training or small group sessions. It is also highly recommended that you establish a consistent, regular training program in order to establish your foundation and achieve a better mind-body connection.
When are you Ready for Semi-Privates or Small Group Sessions?
Clients can add or transition to semi-private training or small group sessions when:
- They have a basic understanding of the names of the exercises and the order in which they are performed.
- They know how to set up their equipment.
- They have an understanding of the Six Principles of Pilates and a beginning awareness of how to apply them.
- They can work more independently.
