The Impact of Small Pilates Classes on Your Fitness Journey

If you've ever been in a crowded group fitness class, you know how easy it is to feel like just another body in the room. At Lighthouse Pilates & Physical Therapy, we believe that how you move—and how you're supported—matters. That’s why every class is capped at just six people. Here's why that number isn’t random—and why it changes everything.

You’re Not Just a Spot on the Reformers

In a small group, you're not getting lost in the shuffle. You're seen. Your form is noticed. You get real-time feedback from instructors who know your name, your body, and your goals. It’s the difference between doing a workout… and actually learning how to move better.

Your Instructor Can Actually Teach (Not Just Keep Up)

When there are 20 people in a class, most instructors are just trying to keep the room moving. With six or fewer, they can do what they do best—teach. Cueing becomes personal. Adjustments are subtle but impactful. And progress feels steady, not rushed.

The Energy Feels Calmer (In the Best Way)

Our space is intentionally quiet, focused, and peaceful. A smaller class size allows for an environment that supports nervous system regulation, presence, and true mind-body connection. It’s a space where people actually breathe.

Progress Happens Sooner—Because It’s Yours

When you're being guided with care, you'll notice your own growth much sooner. Whether that’s better balance, more core awareness, or simply more trust in your body, it's easier to build those things when you’re not trying to keep up with a fast-paced crowd.

Small classes aren’t just part of our brand—they're part of our purpose. We're here to offer thoughtful movement in a space where you feel noticed, supported, and safe to grow.
