Your first Pilates class

You can be sure during individual pilates training, that all attention is focused only on you.

Your first Pilates class is the most important, both for us as instructors and for you practitioners.

The first Pilates class is different from the next. Here we get to know your strengths and weaknesses. We check how your body works and reacts to given stimuli. What control do you have over it and what we need to work on.

During the first individual training, we teach you the correct body positioning, breathing and new movement patterns. We show you how your body works and what muscles we need to strengthen and stabilize, to increase your quality of life. Often, the first visit is preceded by a visit to our physiotherapist. We especially recommend this solution, when you know, that you have serious back problems or pain, and you care about it, to exercise and take care of your health with movement.

When you visit our studio for the first time, you get a questionnaire to complete, where please write about your current health condition, as well as defining the training goal to which we will strive. Each of our pupils has a different goal. One dreams of strong legs and going to the mountains, and the other is about spending the day sitting without back pain.

We usually start training with learning basic exercises on the mat and “safety rules” at work with your body. Then we switch to the machines, which, with various exercises, facilitate or hinder movement. Equipment such as the reformer and chair operate on springs, the strength of which we can increase and decrease depending on your current condition. Each device and each movement is individually matched to your needs and skills.

Thanks to the possibility of adjusting the load and individualising the exercises, on pilates anyone can come, regardless of age or condition. So in case you are wondering, are pilates classes for you, then we have a simple answer.

Come and see for yourself. Schedule classes online – here.

Individual Pilates at Ach Studio

Individual Pilates

During individual classes, the instructor devotes all his attention to you. The exercises will be adapted to your skills, opportunities and health . Such training in Ach Studio is preceded by a conversation with you. We want to find out everything about your conditions, if necessary, we send you for consultation to a physiotherapist. We also want to talk to you about your training goal, what would you like to achieve after specific classes. We are able to adjust the training to your disease entity, e.g.. discopathy, back pain or knee problems. The undoubted advantage of such training is this, that it is as personalized as possible. The work is carried out on many devices. The downside is the price. In our pilates studio, individual costs 150 PLN, in the ticket approx 130 PLN.

Group classes

Group Pilates is a solution for those, who like to exercise in company. In small groups, the instructor tries to control and improve participants as much as possible, of course in large groups this also happens, but the more practitioners the more difficult the instructor. As a rule, the topic of the classes is adapted to the group as a whole. Exercises take place on mats and occasionally with small equipment. Some studies pilates leading small 4-6 personal groups are equipped with large equipment such as a reformer (pilates bed), wall unit ( tower with springs), chairs and that's where classes are conducted. For large groups above 10 people in Poland it is unheard of. The advantage of group pilates classes is the price, which is often 2 times lower than that of personal training. Defect, to, that it is not personalized.

We invite you to Ach Studio for both forms of training, stacjonarnie odbywają się treningi personalne oraz zajęcia grupowe na matach i reformerach.

W Ach Studio posiadamy 5 nowych reformerów prestiżowej marki Balanced Body. Profesjonalny sprzęt oraz dobrze przeszkolony instruktor daje Ci gwarancję pełnego bezpieczeństwa podczas wykonywanych ćwiczeń.
