Private vs. Group Pilates in Miami Beach

When you decide to start Pilates, you have a choice to make: join a group class, or work one on one with an instructor in a private session. Both have their place, and many people enjoy a mix of the two.

Beau Monde Pilates offers both in Miami Beach. Here is how to think about which one suits you.

What is a private Pilates session?

A private session is time with an instructor that is just for you. Because the whole session centers on you, it can be shaped around your goals, your pace, and any questions you have about the method.

Many people like private sessions when they want focused attention, a flexible time, or a quieter setting to learn the basics.

At Beau Monde Pilates, private sessions are available by appointment. To ask about a private session, including availability, email info@beaumondepilates.com.

What is a group Pilates class?

A group class brings people together to move through a session led by an instructor. Many people enjoy the energy of a group and the rhythm of a regular class on the schedule.

We offer two kinds of group classes:

• Small-group reformer classes at our South of Fifth studio, 500 South Pointe Dr, Suite 120, on custom reformer machines.
• Outdoor group mat classes at Fontainebleau Miami Beach, on the Ocean Lawn overlooking the shoreline, and at Loews Miami Beach, within Sea Spa. Hotel classes are mat only.

Every group class is open to all levels, including beginners. Our instructors are trained in both classical and contemporary Pilates, and they give guidance and modifications throughout class.

As Jenny W. wrote in a Google review: "Their instructions are always clear and easy to follow, and they consistently demonstrate each exercise so you can make sure you’re using the correct form."

Private or group: how do you choose?

A few questions can help you decide:

• Do you want one-on-one attention? A private session may suit you.
• Do you enjoy the energy of other people? A group class may be the better fit.
• Do you need a specific time? Private sessions are by appointment. Group classes follow a set schedule.
• Do you want to be outdoors? Our group mat classes at the Fontainebleau and the Loews are held outside.

You do not have to choose just one. Some people start with a private session to get comfortable, then join group classes. Others take group classes and add a private session now and then.
