Have you wanted to try Pilates but cannot justify the cost of a class? With the average Pilates group class in the US costing between $15 and $50, it is no surprise that these prices are out of reach for many.
At Commercial Street Massage and Pilates, we believe that cost should never prevent anyone from achieving their wellness goals. Our pay-what-you-can Pilates class model ensures that everyone in Albuquerque can improve strength and mobility through Pilates – regardless of what they can afford.
The Pay What You Can Model:
The pay-what-you-can approach means that our Mat and Reformer Pilates classes don't have a fixed price. Instead, we encourage participants to donate an amount that feels appropriate to them. While any donations are appreciated, they are never mandatory. Those familiar with sliding-scale payment systems might find this familiar. However, unlike many sliding-scale options where the provider often sets the fee based on income, our model allows each person to choose how much they wish to contribute. This ensures everyone is welcome at our classes, regardless of their ability to donate.
Making Pilates Affordable for You:
At Commercial Street Massage & Pilates, we believe cost should never be a barrier to wellness. Our pay-what-you-can model ensures that anyone in Albuquerque can access Pilates, whether they’re a student, a busy parent, or someone curious to try their first class. Unlike sliding-scale programs, where pricing is often set by the provider, our model lets you decide what feels comfortable. No matter who you are, you belong at Commercial Street.
