Reformer Pilates Inner West

We’ve broken away from the industry model and kept our reformer Pilates classes small.
Small means we’ll know your name, and we’ll get to know your body.
It also means our teachers can provide detailed instruction and have time for hands on assistance (if you want it).
Small Pilates classes are easier to manage safely, and mean we don’t leave anyone behind.

How our classes differ
Pilates isn’t just a fitness class on a reformer, it’s so much more. Our reformer classes focus on conditioning the whole body in a methodical way that builds core strength, improves posture, breathing, and strengthens your joints gradually and consistently.
With our sustainable approach you’ll understand your body better and be rewarded with a strong body, less aches + pains, and an improved sense of general wellbeing.
If you’re in the throes of perimenopause or menopause you’re exactly who we love working with!

What to expect
You’ll have a chance to tell us anything important about your body before class
We’ll tell you which springs to use, how to set up the reformer, and if you’re looking lost we won’t leave you behind
We’ll describe exactly how to do each exercise + where you’ll feel it in the body
You can expect to challenge your concentration, control, + coordination
You can expect to move your spine + every other joint in your body in every class
You’ll likely float out of the studio when class is over
