Our Classes
Reformer
Our Reformer Classes use the Pilates Reformer machine in your session to create a balanced but challenging class.
The reformer uses springs, pulleys and your own body weight to create a versatile workout. Exercises are done lying down, standing, sitting, pulling the straps and pushing off of the foot bar. The exercises promote length, strength, flexibility and balance.
Classes have a maximum of 8 clients and are great for the able bodied that want a good workout but also want to connect with many of the principles in the Pilates movement system.
Tower
Our Reformers have the capacity to transform into raised mats. With the utilisation of the Tower at the end of the reformer, this brings another level of challenge for your entire body and provides a balanced, integrated workout.
The majority of Tower exercises focus on one area of the body at a time, making it easier to isolate each of the muscle groups. Each Tower is equipped with a range of weighted springs, bars and props to give you a great all over workout. The resistance and tension of the springs enhance the workload on your muscles and also offers a variety of stretching and strengthening exercises leaving you energised and focused.
Classes have a maximum of 8 clients and are great for the able bodied that want a good workout but also want to connect with many of the principles in the Pilates movement system.
Semi-Private Classes
Semi-Private Classes have a maximum of 4 participants, all working on their individual programs under the eye of one instructor.
Here you get to work super specifically on all the Pilates apparatus, you will fine tune the little details and progress as time goes on – always working towards your goals.
Even though you share the instructor, we are never far away and keep a close eye on your technique, ensuring you get the most out of your sessions and complete your exercises correctly.
Semi-Private Classes are for clients that, for any reason, are unable to join the group class or require more personal supervision and guidance.
Pre and Postnatal
All our instructors are trained in Pre and Postnatal coaching.
You are able to participate in the group classes as long as you wish. We adapt and modify the exercises for you so that you remain safe but in general you do most of what the class is doing.
If you feel you are finding it difficult to keep up with the group class then you can move to classes where the exercises are more specific to this season of your life. These sessions are booked as semi private classes and can have up to 4 in the class. In these sessions we utilise all the Pilates apparatus to get you as prepared physically and mentally as possible for the birth.
After your baby has arrived and you have had clearance from your Health Professional, we would love to see you back to help you reconnect with your body with a focus on strengthening and flexibility.
All our group and semi private classes are available for you to bring your baby with you to class. As long as your baby is not mobile you are free to have him/her in the studio while you have your session. This takes the stress out of finding a sitter while they are so dependant on you, and you can relax knowing that he/she is close by.
Once your baby becomes more mobile and they can’t be contained in a capsule or pram then alternative arrangements will need to be made for the care of your baby while you take your class. We want you to get the most out of your session and be able to focus and concentrate.
Private Sessions
Private sessions are booked appointments where you work one on one with your instructor.
Usually the first session is an initial assessment and a chance for us to understand the needs and goals that the client has. The first session is also an introduction to the pilates equipment and method.
All our introductory packages have an initial private session so that we can get to know the client and any areas that need working with. These sessions utilise all the studio equipment at the studio to get the most effective exercises for your body. They are of particular benefit for those with neurological conditions, are recovering from surgery or injury, or clients that prefer personal instruction and attention. In Private sessions the focus is completely on the specific needs and goals of the client and the program is planned to address these.
Many clients like to do a Private Session or a few private sessions before progressing into group classes. Some do intermittent private sessions alongside group classes. Private sessions are also useful for designing home programs. If you aren’t sure whether to head into group classes straight away, book one of these sessions and we can help you figure out the best starting point and pathway.
