What is a Circuit?
Pilates Circuits are an excellent option for the more independent client. Circuits run 50-60 min, with 4-6 clients in each class. Programs are designed similar to Private and Small Group classes; however, you will rotate through 2 different series of 8-10 different stations. Each station lasts approximately 3 minutes in duration.
What’s the best part of a Circuit, well there’s more than one, but one of them is you get to exercise on all of the Pilates Equipment, plus there’s usually a few Pilates Mat exercises in the mix! This gives you a great variety of exercises, that offer a perfect balance for your body!
This can be a faster pace class as there’s not much downtime, other than rotating from station to station. Now don’t let this scare you, as I will be there assisting you, giving cues and changing out stations!
Now you may wonder if you are a candidate for Circuits. Typically I open Circuits up to clients that have had Private sessions with me and/or have worked in a Small Group. I want to make sure you have a great understanding of the Pilates program and the equipment we use! Everyone comes into Pilates with a different background. Many may find that modifications are needed. Private sessions are where you and I learn about your body, so when you join a Small Group or a Circuit you are prepared and know how to change things up when you need to!
