The Initial Evaluation
If you've never done Pilates before, this is
the place to start. Your Initial Evaluation may be done as a
private or
duet. Allow an
hour and fifteen minutes for a private and an hour and a half for a
duet. Come 10 minutes
before your scheduled appointment
to allow yourself time to fill out paperwork.
During your initial evaluation, we will discuss any injuries, chronic concerns, as well as
your fitness goals. You will also learn about the history of Joe
Pilates and his method. Then, you will begin building your foundation for a successful
understanding of your body and the Pilates method as well as
explore correct movement skills with particular emphasis on synthesizing
breath control, abdominal support, and pelvic/spinal alignment.
Unless you have a significant amount of Pilates experience from another
studio, the
Initial Evaluation is required, before taking a group
class, for your benefit and safety as well as for the consideration of
other class members.
Unless you plan on doing private
instructor exclusively, you should look at the group class schedule
first and see what class / instructor will fit your schedule best, one
your are done with your initial evaluation, introductory 4 or quick
start. Once you know which instructor/class is going to best fit
your schedule, then when you call to schedule your initial evaluation,
that is the instructor that you should be scheduled with.
