Pilates offers a wide range of benefits including improved core strength, flexibility, posture, and overall body awareness. It’s also known to support joint mobility, enhance muscular control, and reduce stress levels. Regular practice can help you move more efficiently, feel more energised, and support long-term physical wellbeing.
Both Pilates and yoga promote strength, flexibility, and mindfulness, but they differ in focus. Pilates emphasizes controlled movements that target the core and stabilising muscles, often using equipment like the reformer. Yoga often integrates more stretching, breathwork, and meditation, with a spiritual or philosophical element. Many people enjoy doing both for a well-rounded practice.
Pilates is suitable for all fitness levels — including beginners. Our instructors guide you through each movement with a focus on form, safety, and gradual progression. Whether you’re brand new or returning after time away, you’ll feel supported every step of the way.
Pilates supports weight management by building lean muscle, improving posture, and increasing body awareness. While it may not burn as many calories as high-intensity workouts, it’s a valuable tool when combined with a healthy lifestyle — helping you tone your body and feel stronger from the inside out.
Everyone is different, but with consistent practice 2–3 times per week, many people start noticing improvements in core strength, flexibility, and posture within 3–4 weeks. The real power of Pilates comes from consistency over time — it’s a form of movement that supports long-term health and resilience.
Studio one is located within MoveWell Collective. It is a boutique studio with 7 reformers. Studio one offers dynamic classes only, Studio two is located within the same complex in SOMA Wellness and is also a boutique studio with only 6 reformers. This studio also contains other equipment such as the cadillac and wunda chair, which allows us to incorporate a second class type called Studio Pilates (a circuit style class).
Any membership or pack you purchase gives you access to both studios and all class types.
Yes, Pilates is often used as part of rehabilitation and preventative care. Its focus on core stability, alignment, and controlled movement makes it effective for people managing back pain or recovering from injuries. Always inform your instructor of any injuries so they can modify exercises to suit your needs.
For reformer Pilates, we supply the equipment and guide you through how to use it safely. Whether it’s your first class or your 50th, we’ll make sure you feel confident and comfortable. Make sure you’re in comfortable active wear and have grip socks to wear during the class. If you don’t have any, you can purchase in studio.
Yes, with appropriate modifications and guidance, Pilates can be safe and beneficial during pregnancy. It helps support posture, pelvic floor strength, and back health. We recommend speaking with your healthcare provider first, and letting your instructor know so they can tailor your session for each stage of pregnancy.
Mat Pilates uses bodyweight exercises performed on a mat, focusing on control, core, and stability.
Reformer Pilates involves a spring-based machine that adds resistance and support, allowing for more variety, progression, and precise muscle targeting. Both are effective — it just depends on your goals and preferences!
