I'll be honest, this feed doesn't always show what a normal Tuesday class actually looks like. Some days it's quiet. Some days someone's having a rough week and that's okay too. What I can promise you is that whoever walks through our doors gets seen, not judged. That part, I stand by.

I get asked a lot why pilates specifically, and not just "any workout." Honestly, it's because it's one of the only things I've done that makes me feel stronger and calmer at the same time. Not sore and wrecked, actually stronger. If you've been curious, this is a good place to start.

Here's a thought before we head into the last week of winter.
Spring doesn't actually start in September. It starts with what you're doing right now, in August, while no one's watching and it feels easier to wait.
You don't need a big fresh start. You just need to keep showing up now, so you're already feeling stronger, calmer and more like yourself when spring actually gets here.
Comment one word for how you want to feel this spring. Let's make it happen before the season even changes.
Real talk. That 2pm slump isn't always solved by another coffee.
Sometimes your body isn't asking for caffeine, it's asking you to move. Even ten minutes changes how the rest of your day feels.
Comment if today is already a three coffee kind of day. Then come see us, we'll sort you out a better fix.

Lauren started back with us not long ago, and this is what she told us:
"My sleep quality and energy have improved so much, and I already notice little changes every week or so. I love the instructors, so friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. And I love their playlists." - Lauren Truman
(We will take that playlist compliment, thank you Lauren.)
Sleep and energy don't get talked about enough when it comes to Pilates, but honestly they're often the first thing to shift.
Comment SLEEP or ENERGY, whichever one you're more short on this week.
You spent the weekend running everyone else's errands, answering everyone else's messages, sorting everyone else's problems.
Quick question. When was the last hour that was just for you?
An hour on the reformer isn't selfish. It's the thing that lets you keep showing up for everyone else without running on empty.
Comment the last thing you did that was just for you. If you can't remember, that's exactly why we're asking.

If you've been coming for a while, you know it's not really about the exercises anymore.
It's the people who ask how your week was. The ones who notice when you've missed a few classes. The chat after class that goes fifteen minutes longer than it should.
That's the bit we can't put on a timetable, and honestly it's the bit that keeps most of you coming back.
Tag the person you always end up talking to after class. Let's see how many friendships have started on a reformer.

Belinda had been wanting to get back into some kind of exercise for ages and kept her words: my physical and mental health shifted in the most transformative way. I've got so much more strength, my energy is up, my confidence is up, and I've made some great friends along the way.
This is genuinely why we do what we do. Not the workout itself, but what it opens up for people.
Comment ‘YES’ if a small decision to just show up once has changed more than you expected.
Things our instructors hear at the door, every single day:
"I'm too stiff."
"I'm too tired."
"I should probably get fitter before I start."
Here's the thing. You don't get fit enough for Pilates before you start Pilates. That's what it's for.

Not every win shows up on a scale.
Some of our favourites this month:
1. Actually sleeping through the night
2. Less back pain doing normal life things
3. A calmer head by the time you leave
4. Getting up off the floor without the noises
5. Making it to 3pm without wanting to nap under your desk
Comment the number that's most true for you right now. I'm nosy, I want to know.
