Studio Pilates classes are held at scheduled times throughout the week. Our Studio Classes cost $44 per class per student if paid for casually, or $40 per class per student if purchased as a block of 10 classes ($400).
Private Pilates classes can be booked outside of our Studio Pilates class times (subject to instructor availability).

To ensure the quality of each class, we limit student numbers to 4-5 (for both our private classes and studio classes), and each new student must attend an initial consultation (a 1 on 1 private class) at which your instructor will discuss with you your needs and goals.

How to get started:
From experience we know that regardless of your reasons for commencing Pilates, if learn the basics well you’ll be able to achieve much better results. For this reason, it is a requirement for every new student to attend a 30 minute, 1 on 1 initial consultation during which your instructor will discuss with you your needs and goals and teach you the basics (if you are new to Pilates) or assess where you’re up to (if you’ve done Pilates before). This initial consultation is $50.
For your first class, it is important to arrive a few minutes early to complete some paperwork. You should wear comfortable exercise clothing that allows you to move around freely, and bring a pair of clean socks with you to wear during the class. Change rooms are available for your use if needed.
