You’ve finally booked your first private Pilates session — exciting! But maybe you’re also wondering:
“What happens in a 1:1 session? Will I be able to keep up? What should I wear?”
Don’t worry. This post walks you through exactly what to expect — so you can walk in feeling confident and ready.
First, You’ll Be Welcomed (and Listened To)
Your instructor will start with a friendly chat to:
- Understand your goals (e.g., strength, flexibility, injury recovery, posture)
- Learn about any injuries, conditions, or concerns
- Answer any questions you have
💬 “You don’t need to be fit or flexible — that’s what we’re here for.”
This session is all about you. Everything is tailored to your body and comfort level.
Then, You’ll Get Moving (Gently!)
Depending on your goals and setup, your instructor may use:
- Matwork (using your body weight)
- Reformer (a sliding bed with springs)
- Pilates chair, arc, or small props like balls and bands
Movements start slow and simple, focusing on:
- Breathing and core engagement
- Alignment and posture
- Gentle stretches and controlled movements
You’ll learn how your body moves — and how to move it better.
What Should You Wear?
Something comfortable, stretchy, and not too loose. Think:
- Leggings or fitted joggers
- A breathable top or tank
- Barefoot or grip socks
No shoes or fancy gear needed!
You’ll Leave Feeling…
Most people say after their first session:
- “I feel taller.”
- “I didn’t know I had those muscles!”
- “That was harder and more relaxing than I expected.”
Private sessions help you build a strong foundation — safely, at your pace, with personal attention.
Why You’ll Love It
- You’re not just following a group — you’re being guided and supported.
- You’ll learn proper form to avoid injury and get results faster.
- You’ll feel seen, encouraged, and stronger after just one session.
Many first-timers say: “This is exactly what I needed.”
