Private & Semi-Private Reformer Pilates

Reformer Pilates, Built Around Your Body.

Private and semi-private Reformer Pilates sessions at Olympia Performance pair you with a certified instructor for fully personalized programming inside our 24/7 West Island Montreal training centre. Choose one-on-one focus or train alongside a partner — every session is built around your body, your goals, and your pace.

What it is

What is a private or semi-private Reformer Pilates session?

A private Reformer Pilates session at Olympia is one-on-one coaching where the instructor designs every exercise, spring load and tempo around you. A semi-private session pairs two clients of similar levels with the same coach, keeping the personalized programming while sharing the per-session cost.

Both formats run on premium reformers inside the same multipurpose performance training centre that houses Olympia's strength, HYROX and high-performance floors. That means your Reformer programming can integrate with the rest of your week — strength work, conditioning blocks, sport-specific training or post-injury rebuilds — instead of living in a separate studio bubble.

What private Reformer formats does Olympia offer?

Olympia runs Reformer Pilates outside of group classes in two formats: fully private one-on-one sessions and semi-private two-client sessions. Both are coach-led and fully programmed around the client's body and goals — pick the format that matches the level of attention, scheduling flexibility and budget you want.

Private (1-on-1)

One client, one coach, one reformer. Every spring load, exercise selection and tempo is set for your body. Best for first-timers learning the carriage, athletes refining specific patterns, and clients working around an injury or surgical return.

Most personalized

Semi-Private (2 clients)

Two clients of similar levels share one coach. You keep the personalized programming and direct feedback while splitting the per-session cost. Built for couples, friends, training partners and family members who want to train side-by-side.

Shared cost

Reformer for Athletes

Targeted Reformer work layered into HYROX, high-performance or strength blocks. Used for hip and shoulder mobility, rotational control and unilateral stability that translates directly to sport-specific demands on the field, court or race.

Rehab & Return Sessions

Spring-supported, low-load Reformer programming for clients returning from surgery, injury or long layoffs. The Reformer scales effort precisely so progress is measured in millimetres of range and degrees of control before it is measured in kilos.

Who should book a private over a semi-private session?

Choose a private session when your goals, history or schedule benefit from undivided coaching attention. Choose semi-private when you have a training partner at a similar level and want personalized programming at a lower per-person rate. Olympia coaches help you decide on the first tour.

  • First-time clients who want full attention while learning carriage, breathing and core mechanics
  • Athletes refining sport-specific patterns — rotational control, unilateral stability, sprint mechanics
  • Clients rebuilding after surgery or injury who need precise spring-load progression
  • Pre- or post-natal clients booking individualized core, pelvic-floor and posture programming
  • Couples, friends or training partners wanting personalized work at a lower per-person cost (semi-private)
  • Members with tight schedules who need flexible booking outside the fixed class schedule

How does a private Reformer session run at Olympia?

Every new private or semi-private client starts with a short postural and movement screen before the first reformer session. The coach uses that screen to set spring loads, exercise selection and pacing for the entire programme — so your sessions progress on a clear track instead of a different workout each week.

  1. 1. Movement Screen

    Posture, breathing, hip and shoulder mobility, plus injury and training history. We learn what your body actually does before loading the carriage with anything heavier than bodyweight.

  2. 2. Foundation Block

    Carriage glide, footwork, pelvic position and breath-to-movement timing. Spring loads are set to teach the pattern cleanly so reps under fatigue stay safe and useful.

  3. 3. Strength & Mobility Block

    Layered programming — leg work, core, upper-body pulls, rotational control and unilateral stability. Loads progress as your patterns hold up under volume and tempo.

  4. 4. Carry-Over Block

    Reformer drills that translate to your sport, lift or daily life — runners get hip control, lifters get bracing, post-rehab clients get confidence under load again.

What do clients say about coaching at Olympia?

Real feedback from Olympia clients — focused on coaching quality, facility layout and getting back to performance after setbacks. The same coaching standard runs across our private and semi-private Reformer Pilates sessions.

"Steve provided great analysis, knowledge, and instruction. Most importantly, He helped me get back in shape in less time than expected."

Private & Semi-Private Reformer Pilates FAQ

Common questions before booking a private or semi-private Reformer Pilates session at Olympia Performance in West Island Montreal. Pricing options as of 2026 are confirmed during the free facility tour.

What is the difference between a private and semi-private Reformer Pilates session?

A private session is one-on-one with the instructor, fully tailored to your body and goals. A semi-private session pairs you with one other client at a similar level, giving you personalized attention at a lower per-person rate. Both run on premium reformers inside our West Island studio.

How long does a Reformer Pilates session last?

Standard private and semi-private sessions run 50 to 60 minutes. That window covers a brief check-in, a warm-up, the programmed reformer work and a short cooldown. If you have a specific event, injury or athletic goal, your instructor can structure longer or shorter blocks to match your week.

Do I need experience to book a private Reformer Pilates session?

No. Private sessions are ideal for first-timers because the instructor can teach reformer setup, breathing and core mechanics at your pace. Clients of every level book privates — from beginners learning the basics to athletes refining specific movement patterns or rebuilding after injury or surgery.

Can I bring a friend or partner to a semi-private session?

Yes. Semi-private Reformer Pilates is built for two clients training together. Couples, friends, training partners or family members commonly book semi-privates so they can share the cost while keeping personalized programming. We will match the programming to the lower experience level so both clients get value.
