Prices and Locations of Pilates

Price for Pilates lessons and classes is quite varied depending on where you are going and what you are looking for. Prices can range anywhere from $10- over $100 per hour. Price is also dependent on location in many cases. If you are taking classes from a local gym, community centre or down the street with a group in a rented space such as a church basement, the cost is usually for a session, i.e. 10 weeks, once a week. In some of the larger chain gyms group fitness classes including Pilates in many cases are included in the monthly fee. Most of the above locations will usually offer mat group classes. These mat classes may include some props like balls, bands, small hand weights, rings, fitness circles but all exercises will be done on the mat. Class sizes in the above locations are rarely capped and can get quite large, even as large as 30 people. Many independent instructors renting space in facilities such as church basements will usually cap class off at a smaller size, 10-15. If you’re going to a studio dedicated to Pilates specifically, other types of group classes may be available. I.e. equipment classes – reformers are quite common. Class sizes in studios are usually capped at 6-8 for reformer or equipment based classes and 10-12 format and props classes. Group classes in a studio may be a bit more expensive but in most cases instructors in Pilates specific studios Group classes are usually the more economical way to go.

While location may not seem like a big deal at the beginning but as with any form of exercise, it is something that needs to be incorporated into your lifestyle. Having your Pilates classes or lessons close to home, work, school, church, your children’s school anywhere you already go to regularly on some daily basis is the best place to do Pilates. Take a look at local community centres, churches, gyms, fitness facilities etc. to see if there is a place that offers a Pilates class. You may be lucky and have a Pilates studio in your neighbourhood. Do the same around your workplace and children’s school. Sometimes local physiotherapists, chiropractors, and other alternative health professionals may have referrals for Pilates. Occasionally you may find Pilates instructors teaching out of their home. This is another great way to take Pilates. The attention will be specific to you and classes small.
