Private & Semi-Private Pilates in Limassol
Personalised Mat, Reformer and apparatus Pilates designed around your body, movement and goals.
Experience Pilates that is designed around your body, movement, ability and individual goals.
At Kristen’s Studio, private and semi-private sessions combine Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates and a range of professional studio apparatus.
Your instructor selects the most appropriate exercises and equipment for you, creating a varied and carefully personalised programme.
Whether you are completely new to Pilates, returning to exercise or looking for more individual attention, we will guide you through every movement with care and precision.
More Than Reformer Pilates
The Reformer is an important part of the Pilates method, but it is not the only equipment we use.
Depending on your individual needs, your session may include exercises using the Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels, CoreAlign and smaller Pilates equipment.
Each piece of apparatus offers a different combination of support, resistance and challenge.
By using the most appropriate equipment for each exercise, your instructor can create a more complete and personalised Pilates experience than a Reformer-only session.
Pilates Personalised for You
No two bodies move in exactly the same way. Your Pilates programme should reflect that.
Your instructor will consider your current ability, posture, movement, experience and goals before selecting the exercises that are right for you.
Your sessions may focus on:
• Improving posture and alignment
• Developing core strength and stability
• Increasing mobility and flexibility
• Building balanced, full-body strength
• Improving coordination and body awareness
• Moving with greater confidence
• Returning safely to regular exercise
• Progressing your existing Pilates practice
Your Initial Consultation
Every new private or semi-private Pilates client begins with a 50-minute individual consultation.
This gives us the opportunity to understand how you move, discuss your goals and introduce you to the fundamental principles of Pilates before your regular sessions begin.
Your consultation includes:
• A discussion about your experience, needs and goals
• Postural analysis
• Biomechanical and movement assessment
• Body composition assessment, where appropriate
• An introduction to the basic principles of Pilates
• Guidance on the most suitable programme for you
The consultation is included when you purchase a Pilates package. When booked without a package, it is charged at the single private-session rate.
Choose the Right Pilates Session for You
Private Pilates
A 55-minute one-to-one session with a fully qualified Pilates instructor.
Private Pilates provides the highest level of individual attention. Your instructor will guide you closely throughout the session, adjusting your technique, exercises and equipment as your strength, mobility and confidence develop.
Private sessions are ideal for beginners, clients with specific movement goals and anyone who prefers a completely individual programme.
Semi-Private Pilates
A 55-minute Pilates session for up to two people with a fully qualified instructor.
Semi-private Pilates is ideal for partners, friends or family members who would like to exercise together while still receiving individual guidance.
Each person follows exercises selected for their own body and ability. You do not need to be at the same fitness or Pilates level to train together.
Professional Pilates Apparatus
Your instructor may combine different pieces of Pilates apparatus throughout your programme.
Reformer
The Reformer uses a moving carriage, springs and straps to provide adjustable resistance and support. It can be used to develop strength, control, flexibility, stability and coordination.
Cadillac
The Cadillac provides a wide range of supported and resisted exercises using springs, bars and straps. It allows movements to be adapted for different abilities and individual requirements.
Pilates Chair
The Pilates Chair is compact but highly versatile. It can be used to develop strength, balance, control and stability through seated, standing and supported exercises.
Barrels
Pilates Barrels help support spinal movement, posture, stretching and controlled extension. Different barrel shapes can be selected according to the exercise and the needs of the client.
CoreAlign
CoreAlign exercises are performed in an upright position using moving platforms and resistance. The equipment can help develop balance, posture, coordination and efficient movement patterns.
Mat Pilates and Small Equipment
Mat exercises remain an essential part of the complete Pilates method. Your session may also incorporate resistance bands, balls, circles and other small equipment to support or progress particular movements.
Who Can Benefit?
Private and semi-private Pilates can be adapted for a wide range of clients, including:
• Complete beginners
• Experienced Pilates clients

Clients with an injury, medical condition or post-surgical requirements may be directed towards an appropriately qualified rehabilitation specialist. Medical approval may be required before beginning exercise.
What to Wear
Wear comfortable fitness clothing that allows you to move freely and enables your instructor to observe your alignment.
Pilates grip socks or bare feet are recommended. Please avoid clothing with exposed zips or sharp fastenings that could damage the Pilates equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the sessions only performed on the Reformer?
No. The Reformer is one of several pieces of Pilates apparatus available at Kristen’s Studio.
Your instructor may combine Mat exercises with the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels, CoreAlign and smaller Pilates equipment according to your individual programme.
Do I need previous Pilates experience?
No. Private and semi-private Pilates sessions are suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced clients.
Your instructor will explain the equipment, introduce the fundamental Pilates principles and adapt each exercise to your current ability.
What is the difference between private and semi-private Pilates?
Private Pilates is a one-to-one session with your instructor.
Semi-private Pilates allows up to two clients to train together. Both clients still receive individual guidance and may perform different exercises according to their own abilities and goals.
Do semi-private clients need to be at the same level?
No. Each person can follow an individually selected programme, so you do not need to have the same level of experience, strength or mobility.
Why is an initial consultation required?
The consultation allows your instructor to understand your movement, posture, experience and goals before creating your Pilates programme.
It also gives you an opportunity to learn the basic Pilates principles and become familiar with the studio and equipment.
How Long are the Sessions?
The initial consultation and private Pilates sessions are 45-50 minutes.
Semi-private Pilates sessions are 55 minutes and accommodate up to two clients.
