Considering Pilates but not sure where to begin? Let us help you get started confidently and safely.

At our studio, we welcome clients of all abilities—from beginners to those returning after injury, managing chronic conditions, or looking to build strength and resilience.

👉 We recommend starting with a 1:1 session with one of our Pilates instructors or physiotherapists. This allows us to assess your movement, understand your goals, and match you with the most suitable class or program.

Our Pilates offerings include:
• Pilates mat classes throughout the week
• Pilates reformer sessions
• Semi-private Pilates (up to 3 clients per session)
• Clinical Pilates led by a physiotherapist
• Strong Bones – physio-led resistance & strength training
• Men’s Stretch & Strengthen class
• Private 1:1 sessions available on request

💡 Not sure which is right for you?
Message us or give us a call. We’re happy to chat through options and help you take the first step.

📍 Based in the Blue Mountains, we’re passionate about helping our local community move better and feel better.
