Discover Pilates® near Eastwood
Do you want to start doing effective Pilates near Eastwood? Well you have come to the right place! Discover Pilates® specialises in small, equipment-based, group Pilates classes. To ensure excellent results for our students we tailor each session to the needs and goals of our individual clients, and limit each class to 4-5 participants. Clients may book a class at a time that suits them (what we call a ‘Private Pilates class’), or join one of our timetabled small-group classes (what we call a ‘Studio class’). Bookings are essential and all classes are 1 hour in duration.
Classes and fees:
Studio Pilates classes are held at set times throughout the week. Studio classes cost $44 per class per student (if paid for casually), or $40 per class per student if a block of 10 classes ($400) is purchased.
Private Pilates classes can be booked at any time outside of our Studio Pilates class timetable (subject to instructor availability). Private class fees vary depending on the number of students in your group: $90 per class for a 1 on 1 private class, $130 per class for 2 students ($65 each), $150 for 3 students ($50 each), or $160 for 4 students ($40 each).
To ensure the quality of each class, we limit student numbers to 4-5 (for both private classes and studio classes), and each client must attend an initial consultation (a 1 on 1 private class) during which your instructor will discuss with you your needs and goals.

How to get started:
Experience has shown that regardless of the reasons for commencing Pilates, if the basics are learnt really well much better results can be achieved. For this reason we insist that every new student attends a 30 minute, 1 on 1 initial consultation during which your instructor will discuss with you your needs and goals and either teach you the basics (if you are new to Pilates) or or assess where you’re up to (if you’ve done Pilates before). The initial consult is $50.
For your first class you should wear comfortable exercise clothing that lets you move freely, and bring a pair of clean socks with you to wear during the session. Change rooms are available for your use if required. You should also aim to arrive ten minutes early to to complete some paperwork on your arrival.
All Pilates bookings are made via Ryde Natural Health Clinic’s reception desk. To book your initial consultation call clinic reception on 9878 5021 and ask to book a ‘Pilates initial consultation’. Would you rather book online? Easy! We have that option as well. Just click the ‘book online now’ button and follow the prompts. We look forward to meeting you : )
