New class on Thursdays 12:00pm.
Relax and stretch your body in the new stretch and align class. This is an opportunity to slow down on a Thursday lunchtime and connect to your breath and body at a slower pace. This class offers a combination of mobility and stretching and will make use of the Pilates small equipment to help find space and length in the body.

The band is back together again! The pandemic may not be quite a distant memory yet, but we are super excited to return to our pre-Covid layout in our city studio, with a few fresh changes to keep things interesting! We were so lucky to be able to take advantage of extra space in our building when restrictions limited what we could offer, as it allowed us to keep our schedule open for all of our class types as well as offer extra space and peace of mind during those scary times of lockdowns and contact tracing (distant memory of these can’t come soon enough!). However the 2-floor spread was always intended to be temporary and we have now returned to our one space format. (No more running up and down the stairs for the eftpos machine!!) All classes are continuing to run as per existing schedule.

In times of uncertainty we’ve always found two heads are better than one. And this week we’ve found having 4 heads on the job an absolutely life saver!
Welcome Erika and Jemma to their new roles as Studio Coordinators!!
We are so glad to have you helping us out behind the scenes ☺️
You may have already had a phone call, text or email from one of these ladies this week as they helped us sort out logistics of closing and opening.
Erika will be your go-to for all things admin in the city, and Jemma will provide the same for Paddington/Petrie Terrace. They’ll generally be around to assist in keeping things running smoothly in the studios.
Please give them a warm welcome next time you see them! 🙌

A big congratulations to our awesome teacher Andrea who completed the final portion of her Pilates Diploma today! Initially training just to teach Mat and Reformer classes, we knew she had potential to move into the more clinical and therapeutic area of Studio teaching and encouraged her to jump back in to study when she could. 2021 was the year and today she completing her final practical assessment! Congratulations on the level up Andrea!! 🙌 We look forward to seeing you on the studio floor more and more ❤️

Our Story

It all started back in 2010. Quite a while ago now! Initially as a tiny operation as a home studio for the two of us, our first fully equipped space was down in Milton. We opened the doors in January 2011, and after recovering from the floods (yes, a rough start to be flooded in our first week!) we were back on track more determined than ever. Our vision was to offer a professional pilates space where people felt welcome, encouraged, supported in their journey and respected for their individuality and their goals. By the end of 2013 we had moved up the hill to Paddington, to our beautiful Latrobe Terrace home under Thousand Island Dressing, and in 2015 we opened our second space in the centre of the CBD on Adelaide Street. Our team of teachers has grown and our class offerings have evolved, but our values and vision are still the same. In fact, stronger! We love our community of passionate pilates people - athletes, retirees, young mums, young dads, pregnant woman, office workers, manual labourers, professionals, teenagers..... we welcome anyone and everyone. We are supported by an awesome network of allied health professionals who we refer to and receive referrals from, and our clients love knowing they are supported by a team. Pilates can help so many people to move better and be pain free, and we love helping them on their journeys. - Catherine & Anita, Owners
