Pilates FAQs

  • Absolutely! Everyone starts somewhere, and we welcome beginners. We recommend booking a private introductory session first so we can show you how to use the equipment and introduce basic exercises. This will help you feel confident and get the most out of your Pilates classes. You can book online or give us a call and we can talk you through it and find a time that suits

  • Each class is structured around a series of low-impact exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility, and posture. Our Mums and Bubs and Pregnancy Pilates classes include modifications to support postnatal recovery or pregnancy, with a focus on pelvic floor, core, and overall body health. We work with reformers and other Pilates equipment to enhance your experience.

  • Comfortable, breathable clothing that allows for easy movement is best. Think leggings, fitted tops, and layers you can remove if needed. We also recommend grip socks to ensure stability on the reformer and mat. If you dont have these already you can purchase them at the studio

  • Just yourself! Oh and a towel and water bottle. We provide all the necessary equipment, including mats and reformers. If you’re attending a Mums and Bubs class, feel free to bring any essentials for your baby (but we also have about 500 flashy toys!)

  • For our Clinical Pilates classes, an initial assessment is essential as these are tailored programs designed specifically for your needs.

    For our Mini and me, Bumps and Core and Pilates Flo classes, we strongly encourage booking an Initial Pregnancy/Pelvic Floor/Postnatal or Exercise Assessment before attending to ensure the best experience, though it is not strictly required.

    If you're new to Pilates or recovering from an injury, we recommend starting with a private introductory session to familiarize yourself with the equipment and movements. However, this is optional for our general Pilates classes.

  • Only our Clinical Pilates classes are eligible for private health insurance claims. These classes require an initial assessment before you can claim.

Our Bumps and Core classes are specifically designed to support your body through every stage of pregnancy.

  • Yes, babies of all ages are welcome at our classes! For mobile babies, we kindly ask that they be safely contained (e.g., in a pram or on mumma/dadda) to ensure everyone's safety. Our Mini and Me class is specifically designed for you and your little one to enjoy together while connecting with other parents. If those times don’t suit, or you’re participating in our Group Physio program, your baby is still more than welcome to join!

They are not claimable on private health insurance.

  • If you're currently in pain, our Clinical Pilates class is a great option, but the first step would be an individual assessment with one of our physiotherapists.

Based on this, we’ll design a personalised program tailored to your specific needs, focusing on pain relief, strengthening, and functional movement. After the assessment, you can join our Clinical Pilates classes, which are delivered in 8-week blocks and provide ongoing support in a small group setting, allowing you to safely work towards recovery under professional guidance.
