If you're searching for private pilates in Montauk, Bad Girls Yoga brings a certified instructor directly to your location — no studio required. Whether you're here for a bachelorette weekend, a girls trip, or a birthday celebration, we come to you and handle everything from setup to the rosé toast that closes every session.

What Exactly Is A Private Group Pilates Class?

A private group pilates class is a session booked exclusively for your group. Instead of joining a drop-in studio with strangers, your entire class is designed around your crew — your fitness levels, your playlist, your pace. With Bad Girls Yoga, every private group pilates class is built on our signature Namaste then Rosé™ experience: intentional movement, a custom soundtrack, and a celebratory finish.

It's a completely different experience from a studio class, and that's exactly the point.

Why Is Montauk Such A Popular Spot For Private Pilates?

Montauk draws the kind of groups that are already thinking about their experience before they arrive — bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, annual girls trips, and wellness-focused retreats are all completely at home here. The end of Long Island has a raw, beautiful energy that's genuinely unlike anything else in the Hamptons, and the mix of oceanfront hotels, tucked-away surf shacks, private beach rentals, and wide-open state parks gives us no shortage of incredible spots to work with.

It's also worth noting that Montauk runs on a very specific rhythm. Memorial Day through Labor Day is the peak window — the town swells with groups, the beaches come alive, and availability at every level (hotels, rentals, experiences) gets tight fast, which means if your group is planning a summer visit, booking ahead is not optional. Late spring and early fall are genuinely spectacular here — cooler, quieter, and still beautiful — so don't sleep on those windows if you have flexibility.

Pro Tip: If you're booking for a peak summer weekend in July or August, aim for a 9:00 AM start time or earlier. It keeps the session comfortable before the heat sets in, and you'll have the space to yourselves before the midday beach crowds arrive.

Where Can We Set Up Your Private Pilates Session In Montauk?

This is one of the most common questions we get, and the short answer is: almost anywhere your group has access to. That said, Montauk falls under the Town of East Hampton's jurisdiction, and public spaces here come with real regulatory considerations worth knowing before you book. Here's a breakdown of the most popular setups:

Beaches

Ditch Plains Beach is Montauk's most iconic stretch — a wide, sandy surf beach with an effortlessly cool atmosphere and one of the best backdrops on the entire East End, but if you prefer mat work, South Edison Beach might be better. Kirk Park Beach sits right in the village with easy access for groups staying nearby and a more sheltered, calmer feel. Both are stunning, but it's important to know that the Town of East Hampton regulates commercial activity on public beaches under Chapter 151 of its Town Code. Formal group fitness sessions typically require a Special Event Permit, and commercial classes during peak lifeguard hours (10 AM–6 PM) are often not permitted. A 9 AM or earlier start — and booking through us so we can help navigate logistics — is the best approach if a beach session is what you have in mind.

Parks & Green Spaces

Shadmoor State Park, just west of the village, has dramatic bluffs above the Atlantic and open grassy areas that make for a genuinely stunning session. Montauk Point State Park at the very tip of Long Island offers sweeping views of the ocean and Block Island Sound, with the historic lighthouse as a backdrop. Both are managed by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, which means commercial use typically requires a Regional Permit — fees generally start around $100 or more for small groups. Fort Pond, a peaceful freshwater lake in the heart of the village, has open grassy areas along its banks and a calmer, more intimate feel that's perfect for groups who want water views without the logistics of ocean-side permitting.

Hotels & Resorts

Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa is the obvious premier choice — its oceanfront grounds, private beach, and spa-forward culture make it a natural fit for a private pilates session. The Surf Lodge has a creative, wellness-adjacent crowd and beautifully situated grounds on Fort Pond. Sole East Resort offers a boutique, European-influenced atmosphere with lush landscaping and a serene pool scene that works wonderfully for smaller groups. One thing to be aware of: many high-end Montauk resorts have existing relationships with in-house fitness brands or wellness partners, and some may charge a facility fee or have policies around outside vendors. Always confirm with the concierge that an outside instructor is permitted before booking — we'll remind you to do this and can help you ask the right questions.

Vacation Rentals & Private Villas

If your group rented a house, villa, VRBO, or Airbnb — one of the most popular ways to stay in Montauk — we work with whatever space you have. Pool decks, patios, backyards, and open living areas are all fair game, and private rentals sidestep the permitting questions entirely. This is honestly one of the most seamless setups we work with. If you're still sorting out where to stay, our guide to the best Hamptons bachelorette Airbnb rental options is a great place to start, and we also have a full roundup of the best Hamptons bachelorette VRBO rental options if you're leaning that direction.

What Types Of Groups Book Private Pilates In Montauk?

Our Montauk sessions attract a range of groups, and the experience adapts to fit each one:

Bachelorette parties — our most popular booking type; check out our dedicated bachelorette yoga and pilates experience for everything that's included
Birthday weekends — if you're exploring ways to celebrate, birthday pilates makes the most of a group movement session for a special occasion
Girls trips — groups who want one activity that everyone can do together, regardless of fitness level; our girls trip Hamptons guide has more inspiration for building out the full weekend
Wellness retreats — structured movement as part of a broader reset or rejuvenation weekend

No prior pilates experience is needed. Your instructor adjusts the session in real time so beginners and regulars can move side by side comfortably.

A certified instructor who customizes the class to your group
A curated playlist built around your group's music preferences
Mats and all necessary equipment provided
Aromatherapy and guided relaxation are woven into the session
A chilled rosé toast at the close of class

Sessions run 60 minutes. A $100 deposit holds your date, with final headcount and payment due 10 days before your session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you come to a public beach or park in Montauk?

We can, with some planning. Public beaches in Montauk fall under Town of East Hampton jurisdiction, and state parks like Shadmoor and Montauk Point are regulated by New York State — both may require permits for commercial group sessions. We'll walk through the best approach for your specific location when you reach out. Private rentals and hotel grounds are almost always the smoothest option.

What time should we schedule our session?

For summer weekends, we strongly recommend a 9:00 AM start or earlier. You'll beat the heat, the crowds, and have the best possible version of whatever space you've chosen all to yourselves.

Do we need any prior pilates experience?

Not at all. Our instructors are skilled at reading the room and adjusting the class to fit everybody and every level. Whether no one in your group has ever done pilates or your crew has years of experience, the session works for everyone.

How far in advance should we book in Montauk?

As early as possible — especially for summer weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day, which fill up extremely quickly. That said, reach out even if your date is coming up soon, and we'll do our best to make it work.

What if our vacation rental doesn't have outdoor space?

No problem. We can set up inside as well, using whatever space your rental or hotel room provides. A cleared living room, an open suite, or a covered deck all work just fine.

What does a session cost?

Pricing is based on group size. Fill out the inquiry form, and we'll send over everything you need to know.

Is the rosé toast really included?

Always. It's our signature close — a chilled glass to celebrate being together. It's one of our favorite parts of every session, and it makes the whole experience feel like a proper occasion.

Is Montauk different from the rest of the Hamptons for planning purposes?

It's worth knowing that Montauk sits at the very eastern tip of Long Island, about 30–35 minutes east of East Hampton village. It has its own distinct vibe — a little more relaxed, a little more surf-and-sea, and a little less manicured than some of the other Hamptons towns. If you're planning a yoga party, check out our yoga party guide for Montauk.

What happens if it rains?

Since we come to you, we can easily move the session indoors to your living room or covered patio. We’ll coordinate with you that morning to ensure the best setup!
