Anyone out there wants to join me to form a duet for pilates training?

I am currently taking private lessons and would love to have a training partner so we can both benefit from the reduced rate. We can start with once a week or every other week.

I am between beginner/intermediate level. I've been doing pilates on and off for about 18 momths but just started again after a 6 months break.

The studio I go to is BD Pilates Studio (http://www.bdpilatesstudio.ch/home_e.html) in Seefeld. The trainer is Natalie and she is quite good!

I am interested and have been wanting to do this for a long time! For the next month I have a full schedule, but if you're still looking for someone in mid-August or later (or if you happen to find more than one person) I'd love to try it out.

Mid-Aug will be just fine! I'll send you a PM with more detail on my schedule. If there are others who are interested that'd be even better! We can work around each other's schedule and maybe form several pairs!

I would definitely be interested in sharing Pilates classes. I am just relocating here and am intermediate to advanced. Looking to meet new people who have the same interests. Pilates for me is a must. Will be in CH some of August and September on. Let me know!!

Hi! Depending on the cost I may be interested as well. I work in Seefeld so would be available any evenings or mornings starting soon depending on the cost. I have never done pilates, always been interested and need to desparately get into shape. Can you forward me more information? Thanks, Dana

Thanks for your replies! It's so great to see we share some interests.

As I mentioned in the earlier post, I am currently taking private lessons and would be open to arrange duet trial anytime. My schedule is open in the mornings as I am taking intensive german course in the afternoons. Send me a PM when you would like to arrange a trial time.

I will be out of CH from Sep to early Nov but will be back after that.

Hi Dana - For the 10 lesson package (slightly cheaper than single lessons) the private (1 on 1) costs CHF 100 per lesson and the duet cost CHF 60 per person per lesson (hence I'd like to take advantage of it )!

If you are in a hurry to get in shape (like I was before my wedding last year ) - have you considered Bikram Yoga? It is FANTASTIC. I also practice Bikram yoga in Zurich (http://www.bikramyoga.ch/index.php?id=415) It is relatively cheaper than Pilates and works wonders on your body in a short period of time. I have been practicing it for a while now and would highly recommend it to anyone. Check out the website (they have English) and let me know if I can provide you with any additional information.

Does anyone know of a pilates studio that uses reformers, not just mat classes, in the Thalwil, Kilchberg, Ruschlikon area??

hi snow,

i want to start pilates.. can i join your group too??

on the topic of Bikram yoga, just be aware that it is very intense, and not for everyone in the way that a beginner Hatha yoga program is. The benefit of summertime yoga in Switzerland is that you get a lesser version of a Bikram session due to the absence of air conditioning in fitness studios! In either case, if anyone is interested in yoga classes in the Langenthal - Bern areas, I would be happy to send some information...

Try google it up (keyword "pilates zurich"... that's how I found the BD Pilates (where I go right now).

Let's stay in touch when you get to Zurich. I am out of CH from Sep and back in early Nov. Maybe we can arrange something together then!
