How Do I Get Started?

Getting started at Studio Lotus

Our Introductory Package

With no membership fees and a client-friendly pricing structure, it’s easy to get started at Studio Lotus.  We recommend that new clients begin by purchasing an Introductory Package:

Our Introductory Package is designed to give you a feel for the Pilates method, help you discover your comfortable exercise schedule and budget, and get to know Studio Lotus.  At the same time, our fully certified instructors have the opportunity to see you move, learn about your strengths and weaknesses, and understand your fitness goals.  We can then develop a personalized Pilates program that meets your needs and will help you experience the most profound results in the shortest amount of time.   

By working on the Pilates apparatus and mat during your private sessions while sampling Pilates group classes, an Introductory Package enables you to experience the technique in its entirety.

Your private sessions may be taken at either of our two studios: Studio Lotus at 1145 Zonolite Road; and Studio Lotus at Atlanta Ballet at 2000 Powers Ferry Road.  Please call or stop by the studio that is most convenient to you to purchase an Introductory Package and schedule your private sessions.  No appointments need to be made for Pilates group classes; just show up to any Pilates mat class labelled ‘Beginner’ or ‘Open.’

Beyond the Introductory Package

After you complete your Introductory Package, you will most likely continue by taking private sessions until you’ve reached a level of strength, technical proficiency and awareness that will allow you to safely participate in a duet session.  In duets, which consist of two clients with one instructor, we will take you further into the basics of the technique and the principles of Pilates, as well as teach you specific exercises to address your individual needs.  Addressing these needs will expand your vocabulary of exercises, increase your strength and deepen your awareness.  Ultimately, our goal is to develop both your competence and confidence so that you are able to participate in semi-private sessions. With three to five clients and one instructor, a semi-private will challenge you with more advanced vocabulary and efficient transitions, and provide you greater autonomy and ownership of your workout.

With this progression, we are able to maintain our high quality of instruction while lowering your session cost.  This will provide you with the opportunity to practice Pilates the way it was intended: two to three times a week.  In following this time-tested, proven approach, our clients avoid the faddish, infomercial hype of Pilates founded on false promises – and instead enjoy the ’Oh my Gosh, what are you doing?’ results that only come with excellent instruction and consistent practice.
