Private Pilates Sessions

Email us at pilates@guildfordpilatesplace.co.uk to discuss your needs and availability. We'll match you with the most suitable instructor based on your goals and their specialist expertise, then schedule your initial assessment session.

Private sessions are available throughout the week, including some evening and weekend slots. Ongoing sessions are typically booked as recurring appointments to secure your preferred time.

Payment for private 1:1 and 2:1 sessions is made directly to your instructor.

Your first session begins with a comprehensive movement assessment. Your instructor will discuss your goals, medical history, and any current concerns, then observe how your body moves to identify patterns that may be contributing to pain or limitation.

From there, we'll create a tailored programme and begin working through movements that address your specific needs. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what we’re focusing on and why, setting the foundation for lasting progress.

This depends entirely on your goals. For injury rehabilitation or post-surgical recovery, we typically recommend 1-2 sessions per week at the start, reducing frequency as you progress. For general wellbeing, weekly or fortnightly sessions often work well.

Your instructor will discuss the best approach for your individual needs during your initial assessment.

Yes. 2:1 sessions (also called duets) allow two people to work together with one instructor. This works particularly well for couples, friends with similar goals, or family members who want to support each other's movement journey.

For a 2:1 session to be effective, both participants should have broadly similar goals and movement abilities. We’ll discuss suitability when you make your initial enquiry.

Yes. Many of our instructors have additional training in neurological conditions, chronic pain syndromes, osteoporosis, and other complex presentations. We work closely with healthcare providers, including osteopaths, physiotherapists, and consultants to ensure your Pilates programme complements your broader treatment plan.

If you're unsure whether Pilates is appropriate for your condition, we're happy to discuss this with you and, where helpful, liaise with your medical team.

Absolutely. Many clients start with private sessions to learn the fundamentals or address specific needs, then transition to group classes once they feel confident. Others continue with private sessions long-term or combine both - attending group classes weekly while adding a monthly private session for targeted work.

Your instructor will guide you in deciding the approach that best supports your goals and circumstances.

We require 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or missed sessions without notice will be charged at the full session rate, as your time has been reserved exclusively for you.

If you need to reschedule, please let us know as early as possible, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
