WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APPARATUS/EQUIPMENT SESSIONS AND MAT CLASSES?
The complete Pilates Method of Body Conditioning involves both apparatus and mat exercises. If you are interested in working out on the apparatus, you have several options depending on your goals. Apparatus sessions can be incorporated in a variety of ways. Some individuals prefer individual attention, while some enjoy the dynamics of a partner or a group. It is also common to combine both mat classes and apparatus sessions in a Pilates exercise program. Mat classes are offered at a various times and days and are offered in six week sessions (see our Washington, DC Mat Class Schedule and our Annapolis Mat Class Schedule). Mat classes at Excel Movement Studios are graduated from beginning level classes through advanced. Each mat class level has a curriculum and is designed with specific goals.
