Functional Pilates

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL PILATES?


Strong. Controlled. Powerful movement.

Our Functional Pilates classes are designed to build strength, improve control and enhance the way your body moves 


What to Expect

We combine Reformer Pilates and Mat work to deliver dynamic, full-body sessions that focus on:

  • Core strength and stability

  • Glute and hip strength

  • Postural endurance

  • Mobility and flexibility

  • Balance and coordination

  • Functional strength for everyday life and sport

Each class is programmed to improve movement quality while still giving you a great strength session.


Why is it so good for you?


When our muscles are weak they make compensations for each other which lead to instability and injury. Take your back for instance: if your posture is bad, your lower back and hips will then adjust themselves accordingly which means they’re essentially out of whack.

Pilates encourages you to think about how you perform everyday movements. It heightens your body awareness which in turn improves your overall agility, flexibility and strength. It helps you ensure your body is working at its optimal level all the time.


What are the benefits?


Muscle tone, increased strength and flexibility and improved overall mobility and precision at which you move. It’s perfect for people who like a meditative element in their exercise regimes. Pilates will give you more of a holistic result than most other exercises regimes. It will make you focus on your breathing which is great for improving circulation and relieving stress. It’s a fantastic way to balance out your health and wellbeing




What is a class like?


Pilates is a very intense stretching class that incorporates workouts for your abdominal, leg, arm and back muscles. The classes usually last for around 45 minutes and aim to work all areas of your body. We use the very latest clinical Pilates machines which allow people to do the Pilates moves using a pulley-system of resistance (pictured above).




How do I start?


If you are new to Reformer Clinical Pilates it is necessary to have a private 1-on-1 session with one of our instructors in order to learn specific fundamentals that are relevant to you (which differs for each person). The instructor will assess and correct your alignment and posture (from head to toe) and instruct you on the correct way to activate different muscles and exercise correctly. A 1-on-1 session is by appointment only. Please book your session at either the Physio reception desks or through our online platform Gymmaster or call or email us.

Reformer Pilates classes are $18 per session or 10 and 20 passes available, all other group fitness classes are included in a Gym Club Membership starting from $20 per week.
