Question 1

Is the Terrigal studio still operating?

Accepted Answer

No — our Terrigal studio has now closed and all Pilates with April classes operate from our Green Point studio.

Question 2

Do you still offer Mat Pilates?

Accepted Answer

Mat Pilates will return to our Green Point studio in spring 2026. Until then, all classes are Reformer-based.

Question 3

What is Pilates?

Accepted Answer

Pilates is a low-impact, full-body exercise method that focuses on building strength, flexibility, balance, and body awareness. It’s suitable for all fitness levels and is especially loved for improving posture and core strength.

Question 4

What is the difference between mat and reformer Pilates?

Accepted Answer

Mat Pilates is performed on a yoga mat using your body weight (and sometimes small props) for resistance. Reformer Pilates uses a spring-based machine (the reformer) that adds adjustable resistance, allowing for more variety and support.

Do I need to have experience to join a class?

Accepted Answer

No experience is necessary — we have beginner-friendly classes available and our instructors will guide you every step of the way.

Question 6

I’m pregnant or recently postpartum — can I still attend classes?

Yes — once you have medical clearance from your doctor (usually after 6 weeks postpartum) you’re welcome to join. We also recommend visiting a pelvic health physiotherapist before returning to exercise.

What should I wear to class?

We recommend wearing comfortable, form-fitting activewear that you can move easily in. Grip socks are required for hygiene and safety, and are available for purchase at the studio if you don’t have any.

Do I need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

Just yourself, a water bottle, and your grip socks! We provide all other equipment and mats.

Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can show you around, go over any health concerns, and help you get set up.

Question 10

For best results, it is recommended to do Pilates 2-3 times per week. However, even once a week can provide benefits. Consistency is key to seeing improvements in strength, flexibility, and overall fitness.

Pilates offers numerous benefits including improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilisation of your spine, and better posture. It also helps with relaxation and stress management.

Question 12

If you have an injury, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program. Once you have clearance, inform your instructor about your injury so they can provide modifications and ensure you exercise safely.
