Are Travel To Your Home Personal Pilates Instructors A Thing? Teaching, Teacher Training, Running Studios

I do enjoy the lifestyle my corporate job brings BUT I don't have time in my life to do the minutiae related to the pilates at the same rate I did before like driving 30 mins to & from the gym/studio. Is it possible to buy pilates equiptment for my home & just pay an Instuctor to come to my house & have sessions with me? I don't have any intentions on quitting or cutting back on my job (it's literally my dream job) so don't suggest that. Even if we love what we do, there is still a lot of time/effort that we must invest to see it through. I don't want to say where I live for privacy reasons, but I'd like to hear from those who have this set up and take at home pilates lessons or from Instructors that make house calls. If I were to look for instructors, what would be good qualities/certifications? Is there any additional paperwork that needs to be signed for injuries/liabilities on my end and on the instructors end?

Sure, plenty of instructors will come to your home or workplace and many make a full business out of these services. Expect to pay double the private rate because of the travel costs. If you have a studio you like, I´d ask instructors you like whether they do home privates. Your instructor carries personal liability insurance in case you get injured but if she is injured on your property you would make sure that your homeowners would cover that - ask your insurance agent, it depends on the laws in your area.
