Begin

With

Clarity.

Pilates is a practice built on understanding and it’s natural to have questions before you begin. This space is here to offer clarity — so you can move forward feeling informed, supported and confident in your next step.

Begin here

  • No — Pilates experience isn’t required. Many people begin their practice with us having never done Pilates before. Our approach is grounded in guidance and education, so we take the time to help you understand how your body moves and what it needs. Whether you’re completely new or returning after time away, we’ll meet you where you are and support you in building confidence, strength, and awareness from the very beginning.

  • The most supportive way to begin is with a Private (1:1) session. This allows your instructor to understand your body, introduce you to the equipment, and establish strong fundamentals that guide your practice moving forward.

    If you’re joining group classes, we recommend starting with a Fundamentals class for Mat, Reformer, Chair, or Arc. These sessions focus on technique, muscle activation, and familiarity with the apparatus, helping you move safely and confidently. If you’ve practised Pilates before but are new to PFI, Fundamentals classes are also a great way to experience our style of guidance and ensure you’re placed appropriately.

  • Your first group class is designed to help you feel comfortable and confident. The instructor will guide the class through each movement with clear cues, helping you understand technique, muscle engagement and alignment. You’ll have support as you learn the fundamentals and there’s space to go at your own pace while discovering how Pilates works for your body.

  • A Private session is tailored entirely to you. Your instructor will take time to understand your body, movement history, and goals. You’ll be introduced to the equipment, guided through foundational movements, and provided with personalised feedback to ensure you move safely and effectively. This session sets the foundation for your practice and helps plan the next steps for your journey.

  • An assessment isn’t always required, but it is often the most supportive place to begin particularly if you’re new to Pilates, returning after time away, or managing an injury or condition. A Private (1:1) session allows us to understand how you move and guide you toward the most appropriate classes. If you’re joining group classes without an assessment, we recommend starting with a Fundamentals class to build familiarity and confidence.

  • You don’t need to bring much as we provide all equipment, including mats.

    Many people like to bring a water bottle, grip socks, and a towel if they’d like, but it’s entirely optional. We also have bottled water and grip socks available for purchase in the studio.

    When you book your first class, you’ll also receive a health screening form to complete beforehand or you can fill it out in the studio when you arrive.

  • Comfortable, fitted clothing that allows you to move freely is best.

    Grip socks are recommended for safety and hygiene in all classes. If you forget yours, we have plenty available in the studio and we’re always stocking new designs!

  • We’re at 9a, 248 Leach Highway, Myaree — a calm, welcoming studio designed for your comfort.

    Free on-site parking is available for up to 2 hours. You’ll find us just under Pet Barn and next door to Tyre Power on Norma Rd.

Injuries and conditions

  • Yes. Our instructors are trained to adapt exercises safely for injuries or persistent pain. We recommend checking with your healthcare specialist or doctor before beginning any exercise program.

    We would highly recommend starting in a 1:1 setting as it allows your instructor to tailor movements, monitor your progress closely, and ensure your practice supports your individual needs safely. You can learn more here: Clinical Studio Pilates.

  • Yes. Our Clinical Studio Pilates approach is designed to work with a range of musculoskeletal and postural conditions. Exercises are adapted to your body, building strength, stability, and resilience safely.

Our approach

  • At PFI, every class is guided by instructors trained through our sister brand, Pilates ITC — an internationally accredited leader in Pilates education. This ensures precision, safety, and expert guidance in every session. Our focus isn’t just on exercises, but on helping you understand how your body moves, building awareness and confidence along the way.

  • Pilates engages deep muscles and subtle movement patterns that aren’t always easy to find on your own. Expert instructors guide you in real time, helping you move safely, avoid compensation patterns, and make meaningful progress. Precision and feedback transform each movement into an opportunity to strengthen, stabilise, and improve body awareness.

  • Yes. All PFI instructors complete comprehensive, government-accredited training through Pilates ITC, ensuring they have the knowledge and expertise to guide you safely and confidently.

    They also have access to world-class continuous education as well as in-house training and development.

Pregnancy and postnatal

  • Yes. We offer specialised guidance for all stages of pregnancy. Group Pregnancy classes — clearly marked with a (P) on the timetable include Pregnancy Reformer and Pregnancy Apparatus, using equipment like the Chair, Arc, Fitball, and Mat. Barre Attack classes are also pregnancy-appropriate for whole-body strength and conditioning.

    For more tailored support, Private or small-group Studio appointments provide personalised programs using a variety of equipment, guided by your instructor following a thorough assessment. These sessions are ideal if you have specific pregnancy-related injuries, discomfort, or goals, ensuring exercises are safe, precise and effective.

  • Absolutely — once you feel ready to return to exercise and have clearance from your GP or healthcare professional, we’d love to support you!

    Mums & Bubs group classes focus on postnatal-specific exercises, helping you rebuild strength safely while exercising alongside other new mums.

    If you’ve had a more complex recovery or want tailored guidance, a 1:1 Postnatal Studio session is the perfect starting point. Your instructor will assess your core, pelvic floor, posture, and movement, then create a personalised plan to help you return to Pilates confidently and safely.

  • Babies are welcome until they start crawling or walking. This helps keep the class safe and focused, so you can get the most from your practice.
