The semi-private class: doing Reformer Pilates as a pair

Reformer Pilates is even better as a pair. The semi-private class, which brings two people together with an instructor, combines the attention of a private class with the complicity of a shared activity. Here’s why this format appeals to more and more women in Laval.

What is a semi-private class?

The semi-private class is a 50-minute Reformer Pilates session for two people. You and your training partner each have your own Reformer, and the instructor shares her attention between you. The exercises are chosen based on your levels and goals, with many more individual corrections than in a group.

The benefits of training as a pair

• Motivation: it’s much harder to cancel a session when someone is counting on you. Training as a pair supports consistency, which is the key to results.
• Personalized coaching: with only two participants, the instructor can correct every detail and adapt every exercise.
• A shared cost: the session price is split between two people, making near-private coaching more accessible.
• Quality time: it’s a lovely opportunity to spend time with someone dear to you while taking care of you both.
• More flexibility: you choose together the time that suits you.

Who to book a semi-private class with?

The semi-private class suits all kinds of duos: two friends who want to motivate each other, a mother and her daughter, two sisters, colleagues who want to unplug from work, or a couple. Ideally, both people have compatible goals, but the instructor can also offer variations for different levels.

Who is it ideal for?

Semi-private is perfect if you want more coaching than in a group without the cost of a private class. It also suits beginners who feel more comfortable trying a new activity with someone they know. If you’re hesitating between formats, our article private class or group class will help you see more clearly.

An idea for special occasions

A semi-private class also makes an excellent gift: for a birthday, Mother’s Day or simply to say “let’s take care of ourselves”. And for larger groups, we host private events at the studio, such as bachelorettes, birthdays and corporate activities. Discover our bachelorette and corporate event packages.

Our tips for a successful session

• Arrive together a few minutes early to settle in.
• Tell the instructor about your respective goals and any specific condition.
• Wear fitted clothing and grip socks.
• Encourage each other without comparing: every body progresses at its own pace.

Why not a routine for two?

Many duos end up booking their semi-private session every week, at the same time. This routine becomes a precious appointment, for both the body and the relationship. Two stronger bodies, two calmer minds and many beautiful memories: that’s what we wish every duo who walks through the doors of BLVD Pilates in Laval.
