Private Pilates Sessions in Hoboken: What VIP Means at Ken Pilates

Private Pilates sessions in Hoboken are a different experience than group classes. At Ken Pilates, we call them VIP sessions — not as marketing language, but because the format is genuinely different. One instructor, one client, equipment that doesn't appear in group classes, and 50 minutes built entirely around your body and your goals.

Where They're Held

VIP Private sessions are held at our second location: 706 Grand Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030, near the ACME market. This is a separate space from our group fitness studio at 706 Washington Street. The private studio has equipment we don't use in group settings, including the Reformer, and a quieter environment designed for focused one-on-one work.

What Happens in a Session

Your instructor designs each session around what you need that day. If you came in with tight hips and a deadline on your athletic goal, that's what the session addresses. There's no class plan to follow, no modifications to navigate around — everything is built for you in real time.

Sessions typically run 50 minutes. Expect a movement assessment in your first session, honest conversation about what's working and what isn't, and a plan for how to sequence private and group work going forward if that's the right approach for you.

Who VIP Sessions Are Best For

Private sessions work well for several types of clients:

People recovering from injury or surgery who need individualized progression before they're ready for group settings. Athletes working on sport-specific movement patterns or injury prevention. Complete beginners who want to learn the method before entering a group class. Clients who've been doing group classes for a while and want to break through a plateau with focused coaching.

Pricing and Booking

Private session pricing is separate from group class packages. Check the Pricing page for current rates and package options. New clients can take 50% off their first private session — see the Intro Deals page for the current offer.
