Our students can book a class at a time that suits them (what we call a ‘Private Pilates class’), or join one of our timetabled small-group classes (what we call a ‘Studio class’). All our classes are 1 hour in duration and bookings are essential.
Classes and fees:
Studio Pilates classes are held at set times throughout the week, and cost $44 per class per student (if paid for casually), or $40 per class per student if a block of 10 classes ($400) is purchased.
Private Pilates classes may be booked at any time outside of our Studio Pilates class timetable (subject to instructor availability). Private class fees are dependent upon the number of students in your group: $90 per class for a 1 on 1 private class, $130 per class for 2 students ($65 each), $150 for 3 students ($50 each), or $160 for 4 students ($40 each).
To ensure maximum quality of each class, our student numbers are limited to 4-5 (for both private classes and studio classes), and each student must attend an introductory initial consultation (a 1 on 1 private class) during which your instructor will discuss with you your needs and goals.
