Pilates

How can I make regular pilates more affordable?
We hate to have money be the reason someone doesn’t enjoy the benefits of pilates… and there are many ways to skin a cat! An hour of pilates with a certified pilates instructor at absolution costs fifty bucks an hour if you buy packages of classes, A mat class or group class costs 15.

Some of our clients take one private session a week and then use the mat classes to perpetuate the results (some of them even do mat classes elsewhere when it is convienient for them, and we endorse that fully. Let us know if you would like us to help you find instruction near you)

If you take semi-private sessions (two people on the apparatus simultaneously, but, not crawling on each other, just two pieces of equipment at the same time with one instuctor) packages are 35 bucks per hour, per person…. Come with a friend; its around the same price as going to dinner and you‘ll have just as much fun!

You may or may not know that absolution is proud to host one of the most comprehensive pilates teacher certification programs in the world and absolution trains many of the current pilates instructors in Los Angeles. After one hundred hours in our teacher training program, we believe our trainees are ready to begin teaching clients, and we wncourage them to do so. For about eight months out of every year, you can request an “absolution trainee” and you will be able to work out with them for thirty-five dollars an hour for the remaining six months of their study. This is a real win-win situation. Many studios in Los Angeles that host a “teacher certification program” release their students into the wild after one or two months, and that is unfair to everybody. Our trainees are fantastic, and working with a trainee is a win-win situation for a lot of people.

Here’s the dinger, but you gotta know somebody or be an excellent schmoozer. Somehow word got out that our trainees need to train “bodies” a few hours a week for free while they are in our program. Bearing in mind that many of our trainees are highly qualified trainers when they arrive at our door, this means you get a workout on some of the best pilates apparatus at one of the most qualified studios,once or twice a week for nine months, for FREE.

If we had a dime for every person that wanted to be a “body” in our teacher training program, we’d be in Aruba, so we like to give everyone an equal chance. If you’d like to donate your body to absolution science, let someone know at the front desk. At the beginning of the program, we distribute that list to the incoming trainees, and the chaos begins…if this is truly the only way that you can see doing pilates, we’d even advise to come in at the beginning of each training session and introduce yourself to all the trainees. You might just get lucky! Our “bodies” are some of the happiest and healthiest in town.
