Project Description

Solitaire Pilates stands as a beacon of accessibility, affordability, and convenience in the realm of reformer pilates. Our studio  transcends the conventional fitness experience. Driven by a commitment to democratize reformer pilates, we offer virtually instructed private sessions, leveraging technology to make high-quality instruction accessible to individuals of all backgrounds and experience levels. Our dedication to flexibility extends beyond the exercises themselves, with in-app scheduling, keyless studio entry, and sessions available from sunrise to sunset.

In the fitness community, individuals seeking the transformative benefits of reformer pilates encounter a significant challenge: a lack of accessible, affordable, and convenient options that cater to diverse backgrounds and experience levels. Traditional studios often fail to provide the flexibility of scheduling and comfort required for a holistic fitness journey. Founder Kirsten Jermain recognized this gap through her own struggle to find quality classes with flexible scheduling in a welcoming atmosphere. Solitaire Pilates was conceived to address this problem systematically by offering virtually instructed private sessions, leveraging technology for accessibility, and incorporating features such as in-app scheduling and keyless studio entry. Our mission is to overcome these obstacles and make reformer pilates an inclusive and seamless experience for everyone.

Real World Examples:

Inconvenient Class Schedules:

  • Traditional reformer pilates classes are often scheduled during typical working hours, making it challenging for individuals with busy work schedules to attend. Many enthusiasts find it difficult to balance their professional commitments with their desire for regular fitness, creating a gap in accessibility.

Space and Cost Constraints at Home:

  • Investing in a reformer for home use can be cost-prohibitive, and the equipment requires a considerable amount of space. Many individuals, especially those in urban environments or with limited living space, find it impractical to dedicate a significant area of their homes to a reformer. This restricts access to pilates for those who cannot afford the equipment or lack the space to use it effectively.

High Price Tag of Drop-in Classes:

  • Traditional drop-in classes at brick-and-mortar pilates studios often come with a high price tag, limiting access for individuals with budget constraints or those who are not ready to commit to a long-term membership. This financial barrier excludes a significant portion of potential practitioners who could benefit from the physical and mental well-being aspects of reformer pilates.

 

Solitaire Pilates offers innovative solutions to the challenges commonly faced by individuals interested in reformer pilates, effectively addressing the identified problems:

Flexible and Accessible Scheduling:

  • By providing virtually instructed private sessions, Solitaire Pilates breaks away from the traditional model of fixed class schedules. Clients can access personalized pilates sessions at a time that suits their individual routines, including evenings and weekends. This flexibility ensures that individuals with demanding work schedules or other commitments can seamlessly integrate reformer pilates into their lives without sacrificing convenience.

Affordable and Space-Efficient Option:

  • Solitaire Pilates eliminates the need for individuals to invest in expensive reformer equipment or dedicate a significant portion of their homes to pilates workouts. Through virtual instruction in a dedicated studio space, clients can experience the benefits of reformer pilates  without sacrificing space in their homes or shelling out thousands to purchase equipment. This approach makes the practice more affordable and accessible to a broader audience, transcending the limitations of space and cost.

Cost-Effective Access to Quality Instruction:

Solitaire Pilates strategically overcomes the financial constraints typically associated with drop-in classes at traditional studios. Unlike brick-and-mortar counterparts that often face higher operational costs, including paying in-person instructors a deserving livable wage, our innovative model maximizes cost-effectiveness. By offering virtually instructed private sessions, we eliminate the need for a physical staff presence, significantly reducing overhead expenses. This efficiency allows us to deliver personalized, high-quality instruction to our clients at a more competitive price point compared to traditional drop-in classes. Solitaire Pilates makes reformer pilates not only more financially accessible but also ensures that individuals receive top-tier instruction without compromise."
