Semi-Private Memberships
Your membership should set you up for success in an imperfect world.
ALPS Movement training protocols are designed around real life, not against it. The semi-private annual memberships at ALPS Movement exist to give you the results you’ve been looking for without the pressure, guilt, or anonymity that most of the fitness industry works with.
Committed to results
Pilates works by strengthening and retraining movement patterns that have often been years in the making. A tight hip, a shoulder that won't cooperate, a back that gives out on long travel days. These things didn't arrive overnight and they won't leave in six weeks. What changes in six weeks is awareness. What changes in a year is your ability to translate awareness into action.
Life happens… but we knew that
School holidays, work travel, sick kids, the week you just can't. The annual memberships are built around the reality that you’re a person with competing priorities, not a professional athlete paid seven figures to train 40 hours a week.
My job isn’t to sugarcoat things or push you harder than your body can handle. It’s to train you through the highs and lows of life so you still get the process and routine you crave without getting disheartened or injured.
With 35 or 70 sessions spread over a full year, you have the flexibility to ebb and flow without losing your progress or place. Priority booking means your regular class time is protected, even when life gets hectic. You don’t fall off a cliff because you finally took two weeks vacation in August or because your kid, partner, and then you got the flu in March. We pick up, assess how we’re doing, and keep going.
A teacher who actually knows you
Members’ training plans aren’t just designed around physiological elements. This is where my role fluctuates between teacher, coach, and trainer. To achieve your Pilates goals, I study and incorporate how your body and mind respond to all kinds of stimuli, both in terms of Pilates equipment and the world at large. Things like how even though your legs feel fine, they need a little extra TLC after a long flight, otherwise your shoulders start acting up. Or that when work has been a drag, it’s a good day to pull out an absurdly hard exercise that will make you laugh with relief. This accumulated knowledge is what makes this training relationship efficient - and sustainable - for your body.
Community, for real
In semi-private sessions, it’s not just small talk. The people you train with will ask if you made the chocolate cake or the one you saw on Instagram for your sister’s birthday party last week - and can you send the recipe?
Semi-private sessions train with the understanding that group dynamics are part of the equation. These aren’t strangers who happen to be in the same room; they’re neighbors who become characters in your life, knowing your goals, likes, and dislikes. They root for you when you make progress and want to know your insight on what made an exercise click for you one day. While we can’t promise friendship, you aren’t a number here, and you never will be.

“She is also the only teacher who has been able to make me stick to any activity for more than 6 months. We are going on 8 years now and I don’t see myself ever stopping!”
“Being a new mom and carrying an ever-growing toddler, I go to Alex every week broken and come back rejuvenated. Once I started with her, I could not stop.”
Membership FAQs
-
35 weeks account for the Swiss school holiday calendar, typical vacation periods, and illness or work conflicts; the membership is built around the weeks you can actually train in a year. You pay monthly for the full 12 months, which keeps your budget consistent and your progress uninterrupted. Your session time is fixed and reserved for you for the full year. We’ll go over your planned holidays and scheduling conflicts every quarter so your training is planned with and around them.
-
The cancellation policy is 12 hours, so if your kid comes home from school with a stomach bug and you cancel on time, the session is credited back to your membership. You can use it to join another session later in the year or even join another semi-private group if there’s a free spot while someone else is away.
-
Your session time is fixed for the year, which is part of what makes the membership work. That said, if your circumstances change significantly, we’re happy to look at options based on availability. We can’t guarantee a specific slot will be free, but we’ll do our best to make it work.
-
Your membership covers your regular training year. If you’d like to add sessions, packages are available to members. If you would like to expand your membership, we can also discuss this.
