I want School Models, but I have serious injuries.

This is a common issues.  We have a time-test system to help students that need the affordability of the school model, but have serious injuries/ chronic health issues.  Thus, making the school models unsafe for them.  This transition varies by student.  The average is 4 months with sessions twice a week. 

Your consultation teacher will be able to assess you body and give you an idea of the cost to heal your body to transition into the school models. 

Our mission is to make this transition affordable. 

How many private sessions do I need to meet my goals?

Your consultation teacher can better answer this question.  The traditional model is an open-ended system.  You can commit to as much or as little as you desire.  One average most Traditional Model students stay with us for 12-14 months. 

Is there a minimum sessions I need to keep a week?

Short answer is no.  Yet we encourage our Traditional student to try their best to maintain their Pilates practice twice a week.  In general we strongly recommend that Traditional Students keep up to 10 sessions booked on our schedule to hold their preferred days and times.

How do I earn approval to take classes and independent workout?

You must have working knowledge of the equipment safety and how to manage your body issues in a group environment.  You also must meet the prerequisite of the class/ independent workout as listed in the In-Person Pilates School catalog. 

A key Pilates School policy is all students must maintain regular privates session to continue to have access to classes and independents.  The only student allowed  attend classes without regulars sessions booked are our graduate students.
