Studio Services
Your goals shape every session at Somaspace
Somaspace offers private sessions, semi-private sessions and professional education in Classical Pilates and the GYROTONIC® Method. We recommend both methods for our clients.
Each service is personalized to your goals, whether you’re wanting to build muscle and bone mass, improve cardiovascular health or restore your fitness following illness or injury. Our experienced instructors provide precise and attentive instruction that helps you move intelligently and feel your best in every session.
Private Appointments
Private sessions are the gold standard for fitness instruction. We recommend one-on-one sessions for those who desire a completely tailored workout program, whether you are already active or just getting started.
Private instruction is also ideal if you are managing conditions such as osteoporosis, neurological diagnoses, or are recovering from injury or illness. Because your goals set the foundation for these sessions, you experience the highest level of customization available in our studio.
You can choose between Classical Pilates or the GYROTONIC® method as each provides a complete, full-body workout, incorporating corrective exercises and intentional recovery work so you leave feeling stronger, aligned and balanced.
Semi-Private Sessions
Our semi-private sessions are organized in two ways: level of experience and therapeutic need.
Leveled classes are programmed for healthy, injury-free participants and are graded by experience with the repertoire and equipment setup. Our current offerings include Foundations, Level 1 and Level 2.
Therapeutic classes are programmed for specific conditions. Classes are designed by Principal Instructor Amanda Vernor and taught by her team, ensuring therapeutic protocols are followed consistently for a safe and effective approach in every session. Current offerings include Osteo Strong, Back Care and Pre/Post Natal.
