During these semi-privates we alternate working on pilates equipment such as the Reformer, but also the Tower (with roll-back bar, push-through bar, arm and leg springs) and the Chair.
Each of these devices has springs, which provide both resistance and support. The springs force you to work from your ‘center’ and that is exactly what pilates is all about! These extremely ingenious devices challenge your workout and will ensure you make progress faster.

Below you will find more information about our semi-private group classes during the school year. During the summer holidays, an adapted schedule applies. Each semi-private group class lasts 55 minutes.

Note: semi-privates are not suitable for pregnant women! From 12-13 weeks of pregnancy, it is best to switch to prenatal classes or prenatal Personal Training.

Lessons are taught in Dutch. If you don’t understand Dutch, the English-taught lesson with Valerie on Tuesday evenings 8.15 PM is the best option for you! In pilates, the teacher explains every exercise in words, and only rarely shows the exercises on the mat. So a good comprehension of Dutch or English is crucial.
