By using the Pilates reformer machine, you’ll work on building strength, toning muscles, and improving body alignment.
You can expect to perform various strength exercises that utilize the reformer’s springs and straps to add extra resistance and challenge.
By the end of the class, you’ll feel an invigorating sense of strength and confidence and appreciate the total body movement this dynamic workout brings.
FLEX
Flex is designed to teach you the fundamentals of Pilates on the Reformer bed. These classes run at a slower pace so you can focus!
Engage in exercises that require less coordination so you can learn to activate key muscle groups, correct breathing and most of all explore how to move your mind and body as one to get a great full body workout!
Ideal for beginners who don’t have injuries, those who have had a break from Pilates and just getting back into it or anyone who just wants to focus on the basics! You do not need to be a beginner to benefit from this class.

Meet Steph
Reformer Pilates Instructor
As a former Executive Assistant with over 30 years of office life behind her, Steph has always sought ways to keep fit and flexible – from Jane Fonda, Step to Jazzercise she has tried them all.
After a tip-off from a very ‘Friendly’ celeb she finally discovered Mat Pilates over 12 years ago, immediately falling in love with a fitness regime that worked – incorporating body sculpting with strength at the same time protecting the body from injury.
Five years of Reformer Pilates complementing Mat Pilates, Steph decided to take the challenging decision to train as an instructor so she could share her passion.
As a more mature instructor, Steph is keen to promote Pilates to the older generation but loves that her classes are attracting all ages.
This is just the beginning for Steph as an instructor. She is constantly learning and improving her skills.
When not teaching, Steph is a hands-on Grandma to 3 incredible little people, is involved in the community or planning exciting trips with her husband.

Meet Ellie
Reformer Pilates Instructor
Ellie believes that Pilates is more than just a workout, more than just feeling the burn (though you’ll get both those), she believes Pilates is a journey of self-awareness and self-discovery, an investment in your body and your mind.
She will help you truly connect to your Centre… your upper back, stomach, waist, deeeeep lower back and hip muscles will be all working in symbiosis to provide you with stability and strength, as well as with your inner self.
With the uncanny ability to identify physical imbalances in your body (some clients are sure she has x-ray vision!), Ellie will take you through a workout which will iron out those kinks to have you feeling longer, stronger and most importantly, more like the real you.
Her love affair with Pilates started over 20 years ago. After her first class, Ellie was instantly addicted and devised a plan to get as much Pilates in her life as possible. This passion quickly led her to her first Pilates teaching certificates and then onto completing a further 600+ hours of training with Pilates International Training Centre.
Meet Molly
Reformer Pilates Instructor
Molly loves helping you find joy in movement, whether it’s through yoga, Pilates, or in the gym. Now a reformer Pilates instructor, she enjoys leading Bones classes and is excited to continue learning and growing in her practice.
Meet Gemma
Reformer Pilates Instructor
Gemma’s fitness journey began at a young age, with over 10 years of experience in competitive gymnastics. This foundation gave her a deep understanding of movement and discipline, shaping her passion for fitness and wellness. After completing her Certificate III and IV in Fitness, she decided to take that passion further by pursuing a degree in Exercise Physiology. Now, as she nears the completion of her first year at university, she’s more inspired than ever to help others reach their fitness goals.
She discovered Reformer Pilates about two years ago and instantly fell in love! The combination of strength, flexibility, and control that Pilates offers felt like a natural extension of her gymnastics training. Pilates has become a way for her to challenge her body while also focusing on mindful movement, and she’s excited to share this transformative practice with others.
In her spare time, you can find her at the gym, or the beach, walking, or looking for new ways to stay active and inspire others on their fitness journey.
Meet TAYLOR
Reformer Pilates Instructor
Taylor began her fitness journey quite young when she started gymnastics. She continued doing this for over 10 years and loved competing and showing off to people what hard work and determination look like. Although it was tough, she enjoyed turning up to training every day, knowing she was not only benefiting her strength but also positively connecting to her body.
After ending her journey competing in gymnastics, she ventured off to teaching younger children with theirs. This led her into setting a big goal for the future to become a teacher as she loved watching these children grow and succeed.
She is now in her second year of University studying for a bachelor’s in primary education and can’t wait to open the minds of young students.
She began Reformer Pilates 2 years ago when her mum asked her to join in on her yoga class. She’s not the meditation type but she loved being able to connect with her body and use muscles she can’t specially use in the gym. After finding out Reformer Pilates was quite the same, she tried a few classes a week and ended up falling in love with it. She committed to going every day and couldn’t have felt better in herself. She found that Reformer Pilates was like gymnastics in a way that made her love it more.
Her goal as an instructor would be to inspire others, showing them that hard work pays off. As Joseph Pilates said “In 10 sessions you’ll feel a difference, in 20 sessions you’ll see a difference and in 30 sessions you’ll have a new body” and this is something she stands by. She wants people to be able to walk into her class excited for what’s next and leave feeling like they accomplished something.
