Feel Better Pilates

August at Feel Better looks like this: still cold, still dark leaving the house at 6am, and you're doing it anyway.

This month we're adding something new to the mix: the FBP Tetris Challenge. Simple, a bit ridiculous, and yes, there are prizes worth getting competitive over.
The prizes: 1st: a $500 dining voucher for Koto Dining
2nd: A luxe 90 minute massage (one per studio)
3rd: A magical 60 minute massage (one per studio)

$25 to register, open to everyone regardless of how many classes you've done or how bendy you are.

Jess said it better than we ever could, so we're just going to let her.
Then come find her in class, she's already promised high fives to anyone who takes her advice.

Two days left.
The Warm Bodies Club wraps on the 31st.

Book in and show up for yourself.

Tower is honestly the most adaptable piece of equipment we have, but here's the thing, it feels completely different to the reformer.

It looks familiar if you've been on the reformer, then halfway through you realise you're working muscles you didn't know you could access that way. Independent springs for each limb mean your body has to work harder to stay balanced, whether you're standing, sitting or lying down. That's where the real magic happens.

We're also a bit spoiled here because we're the only studio in Canberra running group tower classes. Most teachers don't hold the qualifications and we're genuinely proud of our team who do.

If you've been wondering if tower is for you, here's the honest answer: it shines for strength and mobility. Seriously good stretch. Different challenge. Same inclusive vibe.

Hot takes hotter than a hot tamale 🌶️

We just had to share, because honestly we wish we heard these more often.
Have a swipe, then tell us: which hot take are you living by this month?

The FBP Tetris Challenge is open for registration.

Here's the deal. Every class you attend from 1 August earns you one Tetris piece to place on your 7x9 grid. No gaps allowed. Each of the 6 shapes must appear at least once. The grid can be completed in as few as 14 pieces if you're feeling clever about it.

Fill your grid by 11 September, bring your card in for verification and you're in the draw.

The prizes: 1st: a $500 dining voucher for Koto Dining
2nd: A luxe 90 minute massage (one per studio)
3rd: A magical 60 minute massage (one per studio)

All awarded in October. All very worth showing up for.

$25 to register via the link in our bio. Cards collected from your studio.

Six weeks. One grid. No gaps. Let's go.

Meet Alicia
We asked her a few questions:

💙 What’s a completely unnecessary hill you’ll die on?
A new Pilates outfit absolutely makes you 10x better at Pilates

💙 What’s a tiny thing that instantly makes your day better?
A sunny morning, being able to go for a run and catch up with friends

💙 What does “feeling better” mean to you right now?
Feeling strong, energised and confident in my body. It's not about being perfect, it's about moving in a way that makes me feel happy and proud of myself.

💙 What’s one movement myth you’d happily retire forever?
That "exercise has to be intense to be effective." Movement should make you feel good, and consistency will always beat punishment.

💙 What do you love most about the Feel Better community?
The support and encouragement. I love that everyone shows up as they are, celebrates the little wins, and makes movement feel fun rather than something we have to do.

💙 Are you a Pilates princess or a Pilates gremlin?
A little bit of both. Pilates princess when the outfit is cute... Pilates gremlin when I'm shaking through a plank and questioning every life choice.

Keenan F and Lea B from Hawker, along with Emily H and Tanya L from Lyneham just claimed their spot in the June Warm Bodies Club hall of fame. Congrats legends. We'll be in touch with your voucher details soon!

If you're wondering what all the fuss is about: the Warm Bodies Club is our winter attendance challenge.

We kicked off a new round at the start of July.

To qualify:
You must hold an active membership or 10 pack with us through the full month
Twice-weekly members: 8+ classes in the month
Thrice-weekly members: 12+ classes in the month
Ultimate members: 16+ classes in the month
Pack holders: 8+ credits used in the month

Why bother? Because winter in Canberra is relentless and showing up for yourself when it's freezing is genuinely hard. We're here to make it feel less lonely. Plus there's two 90 minute massages up for grabs at each studio - a prize at the end that really doesn't suck.

This is the final month to lock in your spot.
(we've got big things coming for August, hint hint)

Ready? Book in your classes!
Let's do this.
