We currently have a limited number of spots available in our Reformer Pilates classes — and we’d love to welcome a few new faces into the studio.

• Returning to movement
• Building strength
• Managing injury
• Or simply wanting to feel better in your body

Class times:
Monday — 9:30am & 11:30am
Thursday — 8:15am
Friday — 11:45am

Classes are intentionally kept small to ensure individual attention, so availability is limited.

Did you know our Clinical Pilates sessions are different from our semi-private Pilates and reformer classes?

At the clinic, we offer a range of movement options led by both physiotherapists and Pilates teachers — but our Clinical Pilates sessions are specifically physiotherapy-led rehabilitation classes.

These small-group sessions are designed for people needing more targeted support with:
• injury recovery
• pain management
• hypermobility
• strength and stability
• returning to movement safely

Because they are run by physiotherapists, health fund rebates may apply.

We currently have limited spots available:
🕛 Tuesday 12pm with Jeremy
🕔 Tuesday 5pm with Sarah

These places usually fill quickly. Contact reception to chat about which class option is the right fit for you.

A huge shout out to our long-term client Denis, who completed the UTA11 this weekend in an incredible 3 hours — becoming the oldest competitor across all UTA events to complete a race this year. 👏🏔️

Not only did Denis take out first place in his age category (85+), he also finished ahead of more than 100 younger runners in the UTA11 field. An absolutely phenomenal effort and a testament to consistency, determination, and refusing to let age define what’s possible.

Even better? Denis has already set his sights on next year — with the goal of defending his own category and taking on the age category below him as well. We love that kind of spirit.

We also want to congratulate all of our clients who took part in this year’s UTA events, from first-time UTA11 runners through to experienced ultra athletes tackling the longer distances.

A special mention as well to the kids of our staff and clients who took part in the kids’ race on Saturday, and to the young runners stepping up into their first UTA11 events this year. Watching local youth take on the trails with so much determination and joy has been pretty special.

We especially loved hearing the story of one young runner charging up the Furber Steps without hesitation — something many adults struggle to do. 😅

Over the past few days we’ve heard so many wonderful stories — personal bests, injury-free finishes, big goals achieved, and people simply proving to themselves that they could do hard things.

UTA weekend always reminds us what an incredible community we have here in the Blue Mountains. 💙

Check out what our knowledgeable Blackheath local, Wyn Jones has to say about protecting the Blue Mountains and the Wollemi Pine :)

Changing Australia: Wyn Jones and protecting the Blue Mountains and Wollemi Pine

ABC Radio National, presented by Sally Sara: Deep in the forests of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, there lies a secret location of the pre-historic Wollemi Pine.

LISTEN here: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/radionational-breakfast/changing-oz-wyn-jones-protecting-blue-mountains-wollemi-pine/106669056

Its discovery in 1994 by New South Wales Parks and Wildlife officer David Noble would make national headlines.

Among those who played a key role in this discovery and identification of the Wollemi Pine, and who know its true location, is former New South Wales Parks and Wildlife ecologist Wyn Jones.

For decades Wyn has been at the forefront of efforts to protect and conserve the Greater Blue Mountains area and its biodiversity.

Guest: Wyn Jones, former New South Wales Parks and Wildlife ecologist, nature guide, poet and artist

Always told you're just 'double-jointed'?

May is hEDS Awareness Month 💛
Have you heard of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS)?

hEDS is a connective tissue condition that can affect the whole body — not just flexibility.
Many people live for years without answers, often experiencing:

• Frequent injuries or sprains
• Joint instability or “loose” joints
• Chronic pain and fatigue
• Dizziness or fainting
• Digestive issues
• Muscle tension despite being “flexible”
• Difficulty building strength or recovering from exercise

Because symptoms can look different from person to person, hEDS is often misunderstood or missed altogether.

At our clinic, we understand that hypermobility is more than being “bendy.”
Our team includes a physiotherapist with a special interest in hypermobility and hEDS, offering informed, supportive care tailored to each individual body and nervous system.

Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed, suspect you may be hypermobile, or are simply looking for practitioners who understand — you’re welcome here 💛
