Pilates Star Or Kahlon Charges 500 Shekels
500 shekels per private session. That is the price Or Kahlon currently charges during his visit to Israel, a sum that will likely make many trainees pause before reaching for their credit cards. Yet the most interesting part is that Kahlon himself admits he would not pay such an amount either.
"I don't know how to answer that. That's just the way it is," Kahlon said on Guy Pines' show when asked about the high price. According to him, "We adapted my pricing from America to here." The surprising moment was when he admitted: "I wouldn't pay it myself. It's a lot. But I also know what I deliver."
International Success and Celebrity Clients
500 shekels is certainly not the standard price found in the Israeli pilates market. Private sessions even in Tel Aviv typically range between 120 and 300 shekels, meaning anyone wanting to train specifically with Kahlon must pay significantly more.
Yet Kahlon, a former reality dance show winner, knows how to leverage his talent. Over the past few years, he has turned his name into an international business. His Pilates & Or method operates in the USA and Mexico, including Santa Barbara, Boca Raton, and Mexico City, alongside a network of certified instructors.
Hollywood Connections and Return to Tel Aviv
His client list boasts major names such as Lady Gaga, Adriana Lima, and Jordana Brewster, while his social media following exceeds 800,000.
"I don't feel that anyone is a god, and to tell you the truth, she was more excited to meet me," Kahlon said regarding Lady Gaga. "I don't give anyone the feeling that they are above me. My job was to prepare her body and herself for her tour."
Twenty years after winning the first season of the Israeli dance competition at age 17, Kahlon is eyeing a return to Tel Aviv, where he and his family are exploring real estate and planning to open a large studio. Asked if a judging spot on "Dancing with the Stars" would speed up his move, he replied: "I'm packing my bags and coming."
