I really need to start working out regularly so I looked into pilates studios. The only one that is even semi close to my apartment/office is over $25 a class!! Reformer classes are even more. I knew it wouldn't be cheap, but this is just insane, right?
I pay $20 a session for reformer pilates. I have a choice of someone who has been teaching for more than thirty years or a physical therapist who has also been teaching pilates for about ten years. It is insanely expensive, I can't believe I'm doing it, and I definitely can't afford to, but it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself. My proprioception has actually gotten a little better, I'm building strength, and I haven't gotten hurt.
If you have the money and have a good instructor, I think it is absolutely worth it.
That said, if I didn't have the health issues I have, there's no way in hell I would be paying for it. But I'm getting better results than I did in physical therapy (arguably because pt got me to the point I could safely do pilates) and it's less expensive than my copay for physical therapy.
I pay $216 a month for 12 group reformer classes. It's actually cheaper then other studios in town. It's the only exercise I do and I've found I never miss a class because I'm too cheap to waste one!
