Private sessions · Margate
Your body. Your goals. One-on-one.
Private sessions are for people who need one-on-one attention. With Amy-Nicole, Vibe’s owner and instructor, every session is built around you: meeting your movement goals, preventing further harm, building functional fitness for everyday life, and rehabilitating after injury, surgery or pregnancy. Every exercise is chosen, set up and progressed for your body.
Who private sessions are for
When you need one-on-one attention.
Private sessions are for people whose body needs individual care: Amy-Nicole watches every movement, adjusts springs and positions as you go, and uses the clinical apparatus that best suits you. If you can keep up comfortably in a group class, please book our small group sessions instead.
Preventing further harm
Learn to move safely around a past injury, ongoing pain or a health condition, so everyday movement doesn’t set you back.
Functional fitness
Strength, balance and mobility for daily life: stairs, lifting, getting up and down from the floor, and staying steady on your feet.
Your movement goals
Better posture, a fuller range of movement, or strength for sport and hobbies: we plan the path and adjust it as you progress.
Back, neck and pelvic care
Supported spinal movement, posture work and deep core and pelvic-floor control, at a pace that respects what your body can do today.
Pregnancy and postnatal
Positions and props that keep you comfortable through each trimester, then a gentle, progressive return to strength after birth.
How it works
Built around you, session by session.
Every new client starts with the Personal Goals & Movement Questionnaire, so Amy-Nicole knows your history and what matters to you before you arrive.
Talk it through
We go over your goals, your history and any guidance from your physiotherapist, GP or specialist.
Assess how you move
Amy-Nicole looks at alignment, range, strength and control to see where to begin.
Your treatment plan
Every private client receives a treatment plan: the clinical apparatus, spring settings, props and positions that suit your body and your goals.
Always evolving
Your plan is constantly updated as you progress, so you stay challenged and motivated.
The clinical apparatus
The right tool for every stage.
Private sessions and small group sessions use Vibe’s clinical apparatus. Each piece works the body in a different way, with springs that can either challenge you or support you. Here is what each one offers in a goals-focused private session and in a rehabilitation session.
Also called the trapeze table
Cadillac
A raised, padded table that stays still, framed by an overhead canopy with springs, a push-through bar, a roll-down bar, a trapeze and straps. It offers the widest range of exercises of any Pilates apparatus, from fully supported to advanced.
In a private session
- Full-body strength and mobility work lying, side-lying, seated, kneeling or standing.
- Spinal articulation, such as roll downs and roll backs, to build control through the whole spine.
- Arm and leg spring work for strength, control and length.
- Room to progress all the way to hanging and inversion work as you get stronger.
In rehabilitation
- The table doesn’t move, so it is a calm, stable place to start when balance, pain or confidence are limited.
- Springs can assist a movement as well as resist it, helping you move through a range you can’t yet manage alone.
- Supported positions suit back, hip, knee and shoulder recovery.
- Instructor-assisted stretching with the body fully supported.
Carriage + upright frame
Reformer with tower
The reformer’s sliding carriage moves against adjustable springs. The tower adds an upright frame with arm and leg springs and a push-through bar, bringing much of the Cadillac’s repertoire to the same machine.
In a private session
- Full-body strength, control and coordination, with resistance tuned to you.
- The moving carriage adds a balance and stability challenge.
- Tower work for arms, legs and spinal mobility without changing machines.
- Easy to progress from foundations to challenging sequences as you improve.
In rehabilitation
- Leg work lying down strengthens hips, knees and ankles without your full body weight on the joints.
- Spring changes in small steps let load increase gradually and safely.
- Light tower springs can support bridging, roll-ups and shoulder work.
- Both sides work at once on the carriage, which helps you notice and correct imbalances.
Small but mighty
Wunda chair
A compact box with a padded seat and a spring-loaded pedal. It works you seated, standing, kneeling and lying, and is one of the most upright, functional pieces of clinical apparatus.
In a private session
- Upright, functional strength that carries over to stairs, walking and sport.
- Single-leg work for balance, hip control and strength.
- Core, shoulder and upper-body strength.
- A real challenge for experienced clients, as there is less support than on the reformer.
In rehabilitation
- Seated footwork strengthens knees, ankles and feet before you load them standing.
- Targeted calf, ankle and foot strengthening, for example after an ankle sprain or a lower-leg injury.
- Step-ups and balance retraining, with hands supported as needed.
- One side at a time, to bring a weaker side up to match the stronger one.
A small curved barrel
Spine corrector
A low, curved barrel with a step and handles. Its rounded surface supports the spine as it bends forward, back and to the side, movements that are hard to do well on a flat mat.
In a private session
- Spinal mobility in every direction: extension, flexion, side bending and rotation.
- Abdominal and deep core work with the body supported by the curve.
- Chest, shoulder and hip opening.
- A great warm-up before reformer or Cadillac work.
In rehabilitation
- Gentle, supported extension for a stiff upper back and rounded posture.
- Abdominal work with less strain on the neck, as the curve supports the upper body.
- Side-lying hip and leg work with the body held steady.
- Range can be kept small and grown gradually.
Ladder barrel
Barrel
A larger padded barrel with a ladder for the hands and feet. The bigger curve supports the body through deeper extension and side bending, and the ladder adds support for standing and stretching work.
In a private session
- Deeper stretch and strength for the spine, hips and hamstrings.
- Side-bending and back-extension work for a strong, mobile trunk.
- Standing and leg work using the ladder for support.
- Abdominal and oblique strength over the curve.
In rehabilitation
- Side bending and extension in a supported, controlled range.
- Positions that avoid lying flat on your back, which helps later in pregnancy.
- Bridging variations that strengthen the legs and hips while keeping the upper spine long, often preferred when bone health is a concern.
- Hip and hamstring flexibility work with the body held steady.
Props & jump board
Small tools, big difference.
Props let Amy-Nicole support a position, add a challenge, or give your body feedback, so the same exercise can be shaped for anyone.
Pregnancy wedges
Private sessionRaise the upper body so you can keep training comfortably as pregnancy progresses.
RehabilitationSemi-reclined and side-lying support for anyone who can’t lie flat comfortably, including postnatal clients.
Balls
Private sessionStability and small balls add a balance and core challenge, or a squeeze for inner thighs and arms.
RehabilitationGentle feedback for deep core and pelvic-floor control, support behind the back, and balance retraining.
Support cushions
Private sessionFine-tune alignment under the head, hips or knees so you work in good form.
RehabilitationHelp find comfortable positions for sensitive backs, necks and joints.
Weights
Private sessionHand and ankle weights add progressive load to build muscle strength and support bone health.
RehabilitationLight, measured load that can be increased in small, trackable steps.
Stretch bands
Private sessionAdjustable resistance for strength work and assisted stretching.
RehabilitationLow-load shoulder, hip and ankle strengthening, and easy to take home for your own practice between sessions.
Magic circle
Private sessionA flexible ring that adds gentle resistance for inner thighs, chest and arms, and switches on the deep core.
RehabilitationA cue for knee and leg alignment, and a low-load way to rebuild strength.
Blocks
Private sessionRaise the hands, hips or feet to change how hard an exercise is or deepen a stretch.
RehabilitationBring the floor closer and reduce range so movement stays comfortable.
Boxes
Private sessionThe sitting box on the reformer opens up seated rowing, arm work and lying back-extension work.
RehabilitationChange your position to suit your body, with seated options that support the spine.
Jump board
Private sessionLow-impact jumping while lying on the reformer, for cardio, power and leg strength.
RehabilitationA gradual step back towards impact, such as running, without your full body weight. Impact work can also support bone strength.
Working alongside your health team
Pilates rehabilitation sessions support the care you receive from your physiotherapist, GP or specialist. They don’t replace it. If you are recovering from an injury or surgery, are pregnant, or have a health condition, let us know in your questionnaire and bring any guidance you have been given, and we will work within it.
