It can be an overwhelming process, and if you don\u2019t have great body awareness, it\u2019s especially hard to keep up and understand what the instructors are telling you to do. Private Trainings also enhances and improves your understanding of the foundational principles and you get 1 on 1 time and attention with your trainer to address specific needs and issues you struggle to overcome with other types of workouts. The Group Class atmosphere is so much fun! The social fitness and culture you get immersed in is a great feeling that makes you want more and look forward to seeing your Pilates buddies every week.
