Pilates might be trendy, but it isn’t new. It was created in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. It works the whole body using low-impact exercises that strengthen your muscles by focusing on posture, alignment, and flexibility. Mat pilates utilises body weight exercises and small props to add extra challenge. The pilates reformer is a piece of equipment resembling a bed that has springs which add resistance to the exercises performed.

Barre is a combination of yoga flows, pilates moves and ballet techniques - but don’t worry, dance experience isn’t required! The workout is low impact but high intensity, using isometric holds to give you that signature barre burn, broken up with dynamic, flowing, whole-body movements that feel oh-SO-good and get your blood pumping.

I’ve never done barre or pilates before, can I attend?

Yes, everyone is welcome! We cater to all skill levels and body types. Our workouts are low impact, so they’re also perfect if you’re just starting an exercise program or post-baby.

We have three dedicated pre and post-natal classes on our timetable – ‘PRE AND POST NATAL BARRE’, ‘PREGNANCY YOGA’ and ‘MUM AND BABY YOGA’. If you’re not sure how soon after baby you can return to exercise, consult your doctor. You are also welcome to attend our other classes while pregnant, after attending at least one pre and post-natal session. This is required we can provide you with the appropriate modifications for you and your developing bub. There are also some class styles on our timetable not suitable for pregnancy – these are our ‘Jumpboard’ class and once you have reached your second trimester, ‘Power Pilates’.

Our classes are for ages 16 and up. Beyond this, all ages are welcome.

Our address is Shops 5 & 6, 85 Marsh St Armidale. We are in the back of the courtyard at The Wicklow complex (near Hao Sushi & Grill and VIP Cutting Connection Hair Salon).

Just yourself! We also recommend a water bottle (staying hydrated during exercise is especially important) and a towel. Our workouts are done barefoot; wear comfy clothing that allows you a full range of motion. Mats are provided, though you are welcome to bring your own.

We ask that you cancel or reschedule any classes you are booked into 4 hours before the start time. This allows others the chance to attend. If you cancel within 4 hours, it may not be possible to credit the class back to your account.

We use Glofox for our booking system and payment process. Payment is made upon booking. If you arrive to a class at the start time without prior booking, it may already be fully booked. This means we cannot accept payments in person, but we can assist you with the online process if needed.

Always consult your doctor or a medical professional to gain clearance for exercise if you have an injury. We are able to modify exercises for specific issues and injuries, please get in touch by phone or email prior to booking and attending.
