SCULPT A STRONG BODY THAT’S STABLE TO THE CORE
Semi-Private Pilates Lessons
Private by Design. Personalized by Nature.
Our semi-private lessons are intentionally small, with only 3 to 4 participants, offering a more focused and personalized experience. We believe that one size does not fit all, so we thoughtfully group clients by skill level, ensuring you train alongside others on a similar path. This approach fosters progress, motivation, and a sense of community that is supportive and inclusive.
Specialty Semi-Private Programming:
- Foundations – For beginners who are just getting started and want to build a strong, confident base.
- The Wise Woman – Tailored for clients focused on aging with strength, grace, and mobility.
- Better Back® – Our signature program for osteoporosis support and spinal health, designed to strengthen safely and effectively.
- Elevate – For intermediate and advanced practitioners seeking deeper challenge, refinement, and progression.
- Professional Track – For certified teachers looking to stay inspired, connected, and strong in their bodies.
What to Expect: Using specialized apparatus and spring resistance, you’ll not only work toward your fitness goals but also develop new movement patterns that support long-term strength, mobility, and body awareness.
The Format: Each semi-private session is structured for maximum impact and variety. During the first half, you’ll work on the Reformer, focusing on core engagement, alignment, and dynamic movement. The second half transitions to the Tower units, raised mats, barrels, and auxiliary apparatus, allowing for a deeper exploration of strength, flexibility, and control across a range of classical equipment.
This well-rounded format ensures a comprehensive, full-body experience, designed to challenge, restore, and refine your movement with precision.
Scheduling: Our semi-private lessons are scheduled just like our private sessions—with dedicated, standing time slots to ensure consistency and personalized attention. This structure allows your instructor to truly get to know you—your name, your goals, and what your body needs—to deliver the highest level of focused care.
Each session includes detailed instruction, hands-on guidance, and individualized corrections, ensuring proper alignment, precision, and lasting results. At Pilates Fit Studio, your progress is personal, and we treat it that way.
You must take 4-6 private lessons before entering our semi-private environment.
SpringTone® Classes
No prerequisites are required.
You don’t need more than the magic of the Pilates springs on the Tower units to get your heart rate up, your muscles burning, and your whole body challenged to the core. SpringTone® is the ideal resistance training class utilizing various weighted springs to strengthen and sculpt you strong. Using timed circuits and cycling through body parts, you’ll heat up, tone up, and lean out, all while having a blast.
- This is a high-intensity workout.
- Must be injury-free, have no osteoporosis or disc issues, and be at least six months postpartum.
- This class utilizes the Pilates Towers and Raised Mats
Spring Tone is for those who prefer to share the dynamic energy of Pilates with other fitness enthusiasts.
To keep the group Pilates classes at our studio in Louisville safe and maintain the flow, all class participants must be injury-free, have a good understanding of equipment safety, can see and hear the teacher, and do not require hands-on assistance for stability in getting up and down from the floor or onto and off the apparatus. If you require accommodations due to injuries, vision, hearing, speech, or mobility barriers (such as unstable balance or difficulty moving up and down from the floor unassisted), please get in touch with the studio to discuss your needs before registering for a Pilates class near Louisville, KY. We are pleased to offer personalized one-on-one instruction during private Pilates sessions in our Louisville studio. Still, we cannot significantly alter the workout to adjust for mobility limitations in group sessions due to the nature of our studio setup. Thank you for being so understanding.

What You Need to Know About Pilates Classes, Reformer Pilates, and Classical Pilates
Frequently Asked Questions
At Pilates Fit Studio, many people find us by searching for “Pilates classes near me” or “reformer Pilates,” but they discover something far more personal and effective. Unlike trendy group reformer classes focusing on cardio-style workouts, we specialize in authentic Classical Pilates. Joseph Pilates created the original method. Taught in an intimate, concierge-style setting. Our studio offers private, duet, and semi-private lessons designed to meet you exactly where you are, helping you build lasting strength, improve mobility, and feel your absolute best.
Yes, we offer reformer Pilates classes but not in the trendy, fitness-class sense. While many studios only use the Reformer, Classical Pilates utilizes the entire system of apparatus created by Joseph Pilates. At Pilates Fit Studio, our lessons include the Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, Barrels, Chairs, and specialized small apparatus. This provides a more complete, balanced, and transformative workout beyond the Reformer class.
When people think of “Pilates classes,” they often picture large, open-level group sessions with little personal attention. At Pilates Fit Studio, we take a very different approach by offering two types of small group experiences:
1. Semi-Private Lessons
Semi-private lessons are scheduled like private sessions, pairing you with the same small group of three to four participants weekly. This consistency allows your instructor to get to know you, your goals, and your body honestly, creating a personalized experience that supports long-term progress.
Each semi-private session is structured for maximum impact and variety. The first half is spent on the Reformer, where you’ll focus on core engagement, alignment, and dynamic movement. The second half transitions to the Tower units, raised mats, barrels, and other classical apparatus, giving you a comprehensive, full-body workout designed to challenge, restore, and refine your movement with precision.
Semi-private lessons are offered at both Louisville and Pewee Valley locations.
2. SpringTone® Classes
SpringTone® is a high-intensity resistance training class that uses the Pilates Tower and spring system to deliver a full-body workout. You don’t need more than the magic of the Pilates springs to get your heart rate up, your muscles burning, and your whole body challenged to the core.
This class uses timed circuits and cycles through body parts to help you heat up, tone up, and lean out—all while enjoying the energy of training alongside others. Unlike semi-private lessons, no private sessions are required before joining.
SpringTone® is best suited for injury-free participants who have no osteoporosis or disc issues and are at least six months postpartum.
SpringTone® Pilates classes are offered at the Pilates Fit Studio Louisville (Indian Hills) location.
If you are searching for Pilates classes in Louisville and want to begin at Pilates Fit Studio, you have two ways to start:
1. Semi-Private Pilates Lessons: All new clients begin with four to six private lessons before joining a semi-private group (learn about our private lessons here.) This step ensures you learn proper form, understand Classical Pilates principles, and build a strong foundation for long-term results.
2. SpringTone® Pilates Classes: No prerequisites are required. You can join SpringTone® right away if you are injury-free, have no osteoporosis or disc issues, and are at least six months postpartum.
Yes, we offer beginner Pilates classes at Pilates Fit Studio. Our Foundations program is designed specifically for beginners. You will start with 4-6 private sessions to build confidence, then transition into a semi-private group where you continue progressing under close guidance. We ensure you move at the right pace, mastering fundamentals before advancing. If you are a beginner and want to join our classes, start by booking an Introductory Consultation Session so that we can lay the foundation of your individualized program.
For the best results, we recommend two to three sessions per week. This frequency allows your body to adapt, build strength, and improve mobility while giving you enough recovery time. Even one session per week, done consistently, can create noticeable progress.
Yes, many of our clients come to us with back pain, osteoporosis, scoliosis, or other conditions. Because we offer private and small-format training, we can modify exercises and tailor programming to your needs. For safety reasons, SpringTone® is not recommended for individuals with injuries, disc issues, or osteoporosis.
The instructors at Pilates Fit Studio have invested years in extensive training, committing continuously to their education to provide the most complete and authentic Pilates experience possible. Their dedication preserves the original work Joseph Pilates created, performed as intended on the historical apparatus.
All of our teachers hold comprehensive 600-hour Classical Pilates certifications. This training covers the full syllabus of exercises, anatomy and physiology, case studies, and program design, and includes a true apprenticeship. Our instructors take no shortcuts and do not combine unrelated fitness trends into our programming.
At Pilates Fit Studio, we specialize in intelligent, results-driven exercise. Our personalized instruction helps you better understand body organization, neuromuscular patterning, and optimal movement strategies. Using the full array of Classical Pilates equipment, you will improve posture, enhance joint articulation, balance muscle tone, and increase overall flexibility.
The higher investment reflects the quality of instruction, the consistency of small-group training, and the authenticity of the Classical Pilates experience.
Classical Pilates is the original method developed by Joseph Pilates. It follows a structured progression, integrates the entire body in every exercise, and uses all nine original apparatuses—not just the Reformer.
“Reformer Pilates” studios often adapt Pilates into trendy fitness classes, blending cardio and weights for a workout that may not follow the method’s principles. At Pilates Fit Studio, we honor the Classical system, focusing on precision, flow, and individualized progression for long-lasting results.
Discover the Difference
If you are searching for Pilates classes in Louisville, what you will find at Pilates Fit Studio is far beyond the ordinary. We are not a crowded reformer studio or a one-size-fits-all fitness class.

Through private instruction, duet sessions, and carefully structured semi-private lessons, our focus is always on your body, goals, and progress. Discover the difference that true classical Pilates can make and experience a more personal, effective path to strength, balance, and well-being.
