What a reformer actually does for the body.

The reformer is a sliding carriage on springs. The springs give you variable resistance — light for mobility, heavy for strength — in every direction. It loads the body the way the body actually moves: pushing, pulling, rotating, stabilising.

What makes our class different from a generic reformer studio: the instructor is a physio. They read your movement, modify exercises on the fly, and tell you when to push harder or back off. You don’t get that in a thirty-person reformer class.

Expect a mix of strength work, core control, hip and shoulder mobility, and balance. Most classes finish you a little sweaty but never wrecked.

Who this class suits

Six reasons people come to Reformer.

Reformer is the broadest class on our timetable — works for most ages and most fitness levels. These are the most common reasons our members started.

General strength & mobility

You want a real workout that builds strength and mobility without battering the joints. Reformer is the answer most people are looking for.

Office workers with tight bodies

Long days at the desk, sore neck and lower back, weak glutes. Reformer hits all of those in a single forty-five minute class.

Runners and cyclists

Building the upper body and rotation work that running and cycling don’t give you — plus mobility through hips and thoracic spine.

Pre- and post-surgical

Both pre-hab and rehab work for joint replacements, ACL repairs, back surgery. Talk to the physio first; they’ll pace it.

Pregnancy and post-natal

We modify reformer for all trimesters with the right cues, springs and ranges. After bub, we have you back on the reformer when you’re ready.

Active over-50s

The single best thing you can do to keep moving well into later life. Strength, balance, mobility, control — all the things that fade by default.

Getting started

Three steps from booking to your first class.

Initial assessment.

A 45-minute one-on-one with our physio to map out what your body needs and which class is the right starting point. Required before joining any class — it’s how we keep the small groups safe and effective.

First class with the same physio.

Your first Reformer Pilates class is with the physio who did the assessment, so they can correct technique and progress load in real time. Numbers are kept small — usually four to six people max.

Progress through the levels.

Once you’ve got the foundations, you move into our regular Reformer Pilates timetable. We update your program every four to six weeks so the difficulty keeps pace with your strength.

Common questions

Reformer Pilates questions we get asked.

01 Do I need a referral?

No referral needed for Reformer Pilates. If you have a GP GPCCMP plan, DVA card or accepted WorkCover/NDIS claim, sessions can be funded under those schemes — bring the paperwork to your assessment and we’ll work out the billing.

02 Can I claim Reformer Pilates on my private health extras?

Yes — Reformer Pilates is run by our physios and is claimable as physiotherapy on most extras. We HICAPS your fund at the front desk, you only pay the gap.

03 Do I need to be fit or flexible to start?

No. Many members start reformer specifically because nothing else has worked. The reformer is gentler on joints than free weights, and the physio sets the load to match your capacity each session.

04 What should I wear and bring?

Comfortable workout gear. Grip socks (we sell them or you can buy elsewhere). Water bottle. That’s it.

05 How often should I come?

Twice a week is the sweet spot for most people — that’s where you’ll feel the strength and posture changes within four to six weeks. Once a week works for maintenance. Three times is fine if you’re feeling good and want to push.

06 Can I switch to another class later?

Absolutely — the physio will steer you in or out of different classes as your needs change. Many members rotate through Mat, Reformer and SC Pilates depending on what they’re working on at the time.
