Our sessions are run in a small group to ensure appropriate supervision and technique correction for safe and effective exercise.

Or if it’s appropriate to strengthen, stabilise or stretch we can add this into your program. If you’re treating an injury and are seeing a Practitioner, we can contact your physio, osteo, chiro etc. to discuss your pathologies and treat to suit, giving you the best possible results.

If not enough notice is given, you will be notified when cancelling and your session will be forfeited. Clients are responsible for all rescheduling and cancellations, these must be done via the app or website. We don't accept cancellations via social media.

Although our Pilates qualifications are the same or more Pilates qualified. Please note our ‘clinical Pilates’ prices are quite competitive to that of physio ran classes.

  • All cancellations are to be made online or via the app. We require 6 hours notice for Reformer, Yoga & Group PT classes & 14 hours notice for Clinical Pilates classes when changing or cancelling. This is to ensure no spaces are empty and gives us enough time to fill your spot. Sessions do book out so it is essential to book in advance to secure your spot. It is also important to give us as much notice as possible if you cannot attend a session so we can offer it to a waitlisted client. No Show- Nobody likes a no show! If you don't cancel your session prior to the class start time you will forfeit the session and incur a $15 no show fee. Unlimited members will be charged a $15 no show fee. This is to keep it fair for clients that are on a waitlist that could of attended but miss out due to a no show. If you're on the waitlist and someone cancels outside the 6hr cancelation window you will receive a text or email offering you a spot. Make sure your app is turned ON to receive notifications, this can be done in settings. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
