Build strength from the ground up

Looking for mat Pilates that feels intentional, effective and deeply connective? Grounded is our signature mat Pilates class designed to build strength, control and stability from the ground up.

Rooted in the precision of classical Pilates with a contemporary edge, Grounded redefines what mat Pilates can be. This energising 50-minute matwork class challenges your body in a supportive, empowering way. No springs, no shortcuts, just intelligent movement and purposeful strength.

Unlike Reformer Pilates, mat Pilates relies entirely on your own body weight and gravity for resistance. That means your core, stabilisers and supporting muscles work harder, demanding greater control, focus and depth of engagement. The result is a class that feels grounding, strengthening and surprisingly powerful.

A Studio-Grade Mat Pilates Experience

Grounded uses the Balanced Body Allegro® 2 Mat Conversion, transforming the Reformer into a professional-grade Pilates mat. This elevated setup allows for greater precision, alignment and comfort, creating a mat Pilates experience that goes far beyond the basics.

Expect strength-focused sequences, controlled transitions and intelligently layered exercises that leave you feeling connected, energised and strong.

If you’ve been to class with us, you’ll have heard If you’ve been to class with us, you’ll have heard the words ‘Powerhouse’ and ‘abdominals in and up’. In Classical Pilates, the Powerhouse is the foundation of every movement. 

It’s the deep centre of the body that supports, stabilises and controls how we move. When properly connected, movement becomes stronger, more controlled and far more effective, not by forcing or gripping, but by creating support from within. It’s one of the most important elements of Pilates and something we return to in every single class. 🩵

We’re back! 🩵 After a week behind closed doors, we We’re back! 🩵 After a week behind closed doors, we’re so excited to officially welcome you back into the studio from today.

With summer ahead, it felt like the perfect time to give the studio a little TLC. From a fresh lick of paint, to installing air con for those warmer days and a restock of beautiful new equipment from @onyx.wellbeing, every update has been made with your experience in mind.

And of course, our favourite addition... our beautiful shutters installed by @thehomeshuttercompany. They’ve completely transformed the space and we couldn’t love them more!🫶🏻

Thank you for your patience while we refreshed the studio. We know a week away from the studio can feel like a long time!

We can’t wait to welcome you back into the studio and get back to doing what we love most, helping you move well, build strength and feel your very best.

Upper Body Pulling Series

This sequence focuses on building strength through the upper and mid-back, improving shoulder stability and creating stronger, more balanced movement patterns.

Moving through:
• Wide Row
• Underhand Grip Row
• Bicep Curl

Using the Reformer springs as resistance, these movements challenge control, endurance and coordination while encouraging better posture and deeper connection through the shoulders, arms and back.

Our much loved blue and white grip socks from @myelliosa are back in the studio and we're so excited to introduce two new additions too. 

Whether you're replacing an old pair or treating yourself to something new, you'll find both available to purchase in studio.

A little reminder that grip socks are required for both safety and hygiene during class.

Upper Body Series

Strength from the shoulders up… with a core challenge built in. The Reformer is an incredible tool for upper body work, using spring resistance to build strength, control and stability through the arms, shoulders, chest and back.

By taking these movements into a half kneeling position, we add another layer of challenge. The unstable base requires the core to work harder, improving balance, coordination and pelvic stability while supporting better posture throughout.
