Pilates classes can be expensive!I know that you are probably wondering why Pilates classes are so expensive. There are many reasons why Pilates classes can become expensive. A lot has to do with the experience of the Pilates instructor. You will find that booking a private lesson with a Pilates instructor that has many years of teaching experience under their belt can cost up to $90 an hour. These instructors also own their own studios so there are expenses to cover. For most of you this cost is out of your price range.
The level of knowledge needed to pass certifications can vary but I believe that all of the top certifying organizations require on going training and workshops be completed to retain certifications. The certification courses have written exams that also need to be passed. This is a good thing as you can be sure your Pilates instructor is involved in a constant learning process. Taking courses, workshops, exams and keeping up with new and exciting Pilates products and equipment can become expensive. Pilates instructors invest quite a lot of money and time into training to obtain and keep their certifications. What can I do then? You will find that many studios offer reduced prices for instructors in training and for group classes. You could also get a friend involved and ask to train together! Maybe then you could share the price. Check with the studio. There are many great Pilates studios now with a full range of equipment and quite often there will be a physical therapist associated with the studio.
