1:1 mat Pilates

Service Description

Bespoke 1:1 mat Pilates, built around you. Private one-to-one sessions with Lou in a calm studio in Westbourne, Bournemouth. Whether you are completely new to Pilates, already experienced, very active or simply looking to move with more confidence, your session is shaped around you. WHY CHOOSE 1:1 PILATES? A private session gives Lou the time to understand how you move, what you would like to achieve and how best to guide you. There is no class to keep up with and no pressure to perform. Exercises can be adapted as you go, with close attention to control, alignment and good-quality movement. 1:1 Pilates can be a good choice if you: • are completely new to Pilates and want to learn the foundations at your own pace • prefer individual attention to a larger class • want exercises adapted to your current strength, mobility and experience • are returning to regular movement after time away • already practise Pilates and would like more focused guidance • simply enjoy the privacy and personal nature of an individual session You do not need to be flexible, fit or experienced before you start. Adults of different ages, backgrounds and fitness levels are welcome. WHAT DOES BESPOKE PILATES MEAN? It means the session is not taken from a fixed class plan. Lou can change the pace, exercises, repetitions and level of challenge according to the person in front of her. As you become more familiar with the movements and develop strength and control, your sessions can progress with you. Some days that may mean focusing more on strength and stability. On others, the emphasis may be on control, mobility, balance or simply moving well. The aim is thoughtful, purposeful Pilates rather than trying to fit everyone into the same routine. YOUR FIRST 1:1 SESSION Your first session is deliberately relaxed. Lou will talk with you about your experience, what has brought you to Pilates and what you would like from your sessions. She will then introduce the fundamentals at a pace that feels comfortable. There is no expectation that you already know Pilates terminology or exercises. Questions are welcome — this is your session. A CALM, PRIVATE STUDIO IN WESTBOURNE Pilates with Lou is intentionally different from a busy gym or large fitness class. The studio offers a quiet, welcoming environment where Lou can give you her full attention. That personal setting is a big part of the experience: calm, supportive and focused on your movement rather than everybody else's. PRICE 1:1 Mat Pilates — £45 per session.
