Classes remain small at five people maximum, but privates offer personalised attention. Instructors explain the anatomy behind each movement for better understanding.

What is a private session at Pilates Academy Arjan?

A private session gives you one-on-one time with an instructor on the full apparatus. You cover foundational movements tailored to your current fitness level. This format suits Dubai Hills clients seeking precise feedback before joining group classes.

The studio uses classical Pilates equipment not found in most nearby reformer-only spaces. Your instructor demonstrates exercises like those on the Fuse Ladder for initial balance. Sessions last 55 minutes, allowing time for setup and wrap-up.

Privates help you learn breath coordination and alignment from the start. This builds confidence for future group sessions capped at five participants.

Why start with a private session if you live in Dubai Hills?

Dubai Hills to Arjan takes about 10 to 15 minutes by car, making the studio accessible. A private introduces the apparatus safely, reducing overwhelm in your first visit. You receive cues specific to your body alignment and movement patterns.
