One-to-one or as a duo
Is this for me?
Your goal, your session.
A private is built entirely around you: your body, your history, your goal, your pace. Nothing generic, no keeping up with a room. Whether you’re brand new and a little nervous, or chasing something specific, it’s the most direct way to get there. A private suits you if you’re:
- New, and you’d like the gentlest possible start
- Training for a specific goal or event
- Easing back in, and a group feels like a lot
- Keen to train with a partner or friend
- After one-to-one attention, start to finish
1:1 Private
You and your instructor, for a full 45 minutes. The fastest way to progress, the most specific way to work a goal, and the calmest way to start if you’re nervous. Best for a tailored start, a specific goal, or returning from injury.
Duo
Train with a partner or a friend: shared focus, shared encouragement, and a shared cost. Still fully tailored, just with someone alongside you. Best for couples, friends or family who want the attention with company.

More ways to Return.
There is no single right way to begin. It depends where your body is now: a first class, returning, an injury, a life stage, or a goal. Choose the one that sounds most like you.

Frequently asked questions
Have more questions? Contact us
Do I need any experience for a private?
No. A private is the calmest way to start if you are new or nervous. Your instructor sets the reformer up with you and builds the session around your body, not a room.
Can I bring a friend or partner?
Yes. A duo is the same tailored session for two, at $140. Prefer to train side by side in classes? A Flex membership can be shared with the people you live with.
I am coming back from an injury. Is a private the right start?
Often, yes. Your first session starts with a conversation about your injury and your goals, and every instructor here is physio-trained. If it needs a clinical eye first, we’ll point you to Malvern Physiotherapy Clinic, a few doors up, and bring you into the studio when you’re ready.
How do I book one?
Privates are not bookable online, so send an enquiry using the form on this page, or email info@returnpilates.com.au with what you are after and anything we should know. We match you with the right instructor and a time that works, and usually reply within a business day.
What if I need to cancel?
Give us at least 12 hours’ notice and your session isn’t charged. With less notice, or if you miss it, the session is charged in full.
