Fitness Building
Pilates is designed to increase muscle strength and endurance, as well as flexibility and to improve posture and balance all contributing to overall enhanced fitness.
Weightloss
Pilates will teach you how to engage your muscles correctly, which will lead to increased activation during core exercises and a ‘tighter tummy’. With more range of motion in your spine & joints as well as better breathing, all of these healthy practices can lead to weight loss.

Florina
Studio Pilates Instructor
My experience encompasses 3 years of Pilates prior to beginning my instructor training. I saw great results in my body that I had not experienced with other forms of exercise and felt others would benefit as well. I started with a mat course and progressed to becoming a Professional Pilates Instructor with a Diploma course in contemporary.
Following then into the original Classical Pilates system that Joe himself had introduced so I could understand more deeply his work. I then added Yin yoga to my repertoire as I found it so beneficial to my clients and more recently Vinyasa Yoga. My many years in the industry has given me the ability to see deeply into bodies.
Maddie
Contemporary Pilates Instructor
I fell in love with Pilates when encouraged to attend a class with my sister who had been obsessed with Vanessa’s work for many years before me. I was your typical ‘gym junkie’ style training girl but I never seemed to be able to achieve my flexibility goals. A few classes in and I was hooked for life. Not only was I able to improve my flexibility but also develop a love for my body and some extra abs along the way. I now practice Pilates approximately 3 times a week and have never felt leaner and stronger. My personal favourite style of Pilates is a modern fusion of reformer with some cheeky props and spicy RnB tunes pumping.
My ultimate goal is to motivate clients to love their bodies no matter what. You can catch me in the studio on Monday nights.
