The Power of Private Lessons

private lessons, pilates, exercise, health

Starting anything new can be difficult, but this is especially true when it comes to exercise. Not only is it hard to figure out where to begin in the first place, it can be tough to find the motivation it takes to stick with it until you see results. This is why a private lesson can be the perfect way to kick-start your Pilates journey.

If you’re not sure private lessons are really necessary, here are a few reasons that may change your mind.

  1. Getting help from the beginning can make sure you’re off to a good start. This means you won’t develop bad habits that you have to break later. It also means you will reduce your risk for injury.
  1. It’s natural to have many questions when you start something new, but it can be difficult or even embarrassing to ask them in a group setting. In a private lesson, however, you can ask all of your questions more freely.
  1. Nobody wants to put in time and effort for nothing; exercise is about results after all! Having a few private lessons can improve your technique and boost your results. This is great for starting out, but it can also help if you’ve hit a plateau.
  1. When you’re struggling with extra weight or are just out of shape, exercising in a class setting can be stressful or feel awkward. In a private setting, however, you don’t have to worry about this at all. This leaves you completely free to focus on your exercise.
  1. Those who have injuries, illness, or pain may need movements adjusted to accommodate their unique situation. While everything can be modified, this is easier to do in a private setting where you can explain your issues more fully.

As you can see, we’re big fans of private lessons, even if it’s just a couple in the beginning to get you started on the right foot! If you’re ready to get started, or have questions, just call us at (417) 582-1025.

  • Why MELT?
  • Five years ago I was driving home from Branson and saw the advertisement for Everybody Pilates on a billboard. I was 79 years old, diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and had tried several different exercise programs only to find myself injured and unable to continue.. I supposed I wasn’t suited for Pilates but I called anyway. I was surprised to find that Heather suggested an evaluative visit.

    I came to the studio, bringing my aging and aching body. Heather determined she could work with me, and I’ve been going there ever since.

    When people ask me why I go to Pilates, I usually answer that I like being stronger and pain-free. On my list of budget priorities the first two are food and shelter. The third is Pilates. As far as I’m concerned Pilates is a necessity.

    Besides being a delightful person Heather is knowledgeable and carefully attentive to my individual needs.

  • I have been attending classes twice a week at Everybody Pilates for over two years. What started as something that my wife and I could do together has turned into a necessity for me. I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my core strength, balance, and flexibility. Denise is a great motivator, and does an outstanding job of mixing things up. So, we’re always learning something new. I am a firm believer in the benefits of Pilates, and highly recommend Everybody Pilates.

  • I was introduced to Everybody Pilates by my daughter 10 years ago when I moved to the Springfield area. I have been in classes there once or twice a week ever since. – Pilates is wonderful exercise that leaves you feeling strong and flexible. I feel much stronger, with better balance and greater flexibility, than I did 10 years ago. That’s saying a lot. I love the group classes but, when I had to have surgery a few years ago, Heather and Denise were able to provide private classes geared to my capabilities until I could work my way back. I love having those options available to me. I’m not an avid exerciser. Left to my own devices, I can find many reasons not to exercise. Knowing that Heather or Denise were expecting me to be at class at a certain time was great incentive to me to actually go to class. I need that little push to make sure I get the exercise I know I need.

  • Within 10 days of using the MELT Method, I was able to stop taking Tramadol, a pain medicine that I’ve been taking since 2008! My next goal is to get off of the anti-inflammatory drug that is eating away at the lining of my stomach. I’ve been dealing with foot pain since 2004. I had surgery in 2008 to fuse two joints in my left foot, 2015, doctors recommend 3 joint fusion on right foot – not going to do it! The majority of my joints in both feet are bone-on-bone. Started using the MELT Method on 3/19. I have less pain, less tightness, I can feel more of my foot on the floor. I can work all day, and come home and do yard work, which I could have never done before using the MELT Method!
