Getting Started
Discover Canberra’s best equipped Pilates studio. Whether you’re new to Pilates or training to teach, enjoy personalised small-group classes, expert instructors and studio-equipment that delivers real results—stronger core, better posture and more confidence in movement.
Starter Pack
The “Starter Pack” is how to start with full Studio session
(not available for purchase online - please email )
The “Starter Pack” consists of 3x60 minute sessions that are one-on-one (Private) sessions. We have found in the last 27 years that this provides the most comprehensive introduction to Pilates training for clients, to enable effective goal setting and achievement of using Pilates to train the body.
These studio sessions commence with a physical assessment of the way your body moves and also how it responds to the Pilates concepts that we teach from the get-go. We will set you homework that is achievable and based on your needs to enhance your developing Pilates skills and enhance your strength.
At the end of the three sessions, you and your instructor can decide the best way to continue on your Pilates journey.
Reformer Classes
Getting started with the Reformer classes (rather than full studio sessions)
Please contact us to arrange a one-on-one session with one of our fully comprehensively qualified Pilates Instructors. This 60 minute session will give us the chance to teach you the foundation principles and basic understanding of the Pilates Method, as well as allowing our experienced Instructors to assess your posture and movement patterns to help to thrive in a group class setting. If you are wanting to start with a partner or friend, then we are very happy to start you on your journeys together in a Duet session.
From there, you are ready to enrol into a Fundamental Reformer class. These classes allow for some modifications for some physical problems, but generally if you are well, fit and healthy - this is a great way to start Pilates. Please stay in these classes for a few and then move into the “Foundation” Reformer classes that offer a multi-levelled experience.
Mat Classes
Pilates Canberra’s mat classes offer a clear, accessible entry point into the principles of Pilates — breath, control, concentration, centring, precision and flow — delivered in a supportive studio environment.
Our sessions are structured to suit a range of abilities, from those new to Pilates through to seasoned practitioners seeking a focused, equipment-free workout. Using just a mat, small props and expert instruction, each class emphasises alignment, core stability and efficient movement patterns that translate into better posture, reduced discomfort and improved everyday function.
I’ve done Pilates before
If you’re coming from another Pilates studio, begin with one Private class either in the studio or an online real time session.
This will give us the opportunity to assess your needs and strengths, and also talk about your goals and what you’d like to get from your Pilates sessions with us.
Visiting Canberra
If you’re in Canberra for a brief time and have done Pilates before, you’re welcome to book into any type of class that’s familiar to you.
If you’re visiting Canberra and have never done Pilates before, you will need to book a Private class either in the studio or on-line.
We look forward to meeting you!
Parking
There are free 1hr and 2hr parking parking throughout the precinct, and there is always the “Old Bus Depot” parking area across the street and through the gate.
Wanting an “at-home” option?
Please call Clara on 0412 849 300 to discuss arrangements here
We’ve created an on-line platform to enable Private (one-on-one) sessions for clients who want the on-linereal-time experience of Pilates with a great Instructor, but without coming to the studio. For these sessions you will need to phone or email the studio for bookings.
Obviously, unless you have some of the larger Pilates equipment at home we will need to utilise Pilates Matwork and potentially some things you may have at home (such as cans of soup), or there are easy items for you to purchase (such as small weights or resistance bands) for at home use.
