Getting started in the studio at Pilates Canberra
From Oct 23rd we are able to re-open our books for new clients at certain hours. If you’d like to commence and have never done Pilates in a Studio setting before please email barton@pilatescanberra.com.au
The “Starter Pack” is how to start with full Studio sessions: (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.
Getting started with the Reformer classes (rather than full studio sessions):
Enrol into a Fundamental Reformer class on Saturdays at 12pm to commence with the Reformer classes. 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.
Getting started with Mat classes:
Sundays at 9am we hold a “Pilates Flow” class which is multi-levelled to cope with beginners through to those with 12 months experience in Pilates.
Wanting an “at-home” option?
We’ve created an on-line platform to enable Private (one-on-one) sessions for clients who want the on-line real-time experience of Pilates with a great Instructor, but without coming to the studio. For these sessions you will need to 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.

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!
