Rhythm Wellness

Spring is here and there’s lots happening at Rhythm this September!

Whether spring has you feeling ready to get back into a routine, build your strength, move a little more, slow down or try something completely new, there are plenty of ways to join us.

This month we have our full timetable of Pilates, Reformer, Strength and Yoga, plus:

- Restore Sunday: 6 & 20 September with Yin Yoga (4-5 pm) and Restore & Yoga Nidra (5:15-6:15 pm)

- Free Community Class: Restore & Yoga Nidra Thursdays at 6:45 pm

- 2 WEEKS FREE for new members with our Spring Special: use promo code SPRING

And if you’re not quite sure where to start, come and have a chat with us. Our Physiotherapy, Exercise Physiology and Dietetics team can help you find the right starting point for you.

Here’s to longer days, fresh energy and a spring filled with more movement, connection and feeling good.

Happy first day of spring!

The days are getting longer, the weather is warming up and hopefully there’s a little more energy in the air.

Come join us this spring- with classes from 5:30am to 8pm, there’s always an opportunity to move, connect and feel good. 🌼

Spring is almost here, and with it often comes a little more energy and motivation to get moving and focus on our health.

And while it can be tempting to use that motivation to overhaul your whole life in an attempt to become your fittest, healthiest self… what if you started with just one thing?

Big transformations are rarely built from big changes.
They are built from small actions, repeated consistently.

So this week, this month, or even this season, don’t try to change everything.

Choose one thing to focus on.

Make it easy enough that you’ll still do it, even on your hardest days.

Keep doing it until it becomes part of your routine.
Then choose the next thing.

For me, I’m going to start with 10 minutes of meditation a day. Meditation can have profound health benefits, and 10 minutes feels realistic enough to fit into my day consistently.

So that’s my one thing for September. Anyone keen to join me?

It’s a short week with the Gold Coast Show Day public holiday this Friday, but there are still plenty of opportunities to move with us this week.

We’re OPEN Friday with:
- 6:30 am Strength
- 7:30 am Hatha Yoga
- 7:30 am Reformer
- 8:30 am Studio Strength
- 9:30 am Reformer

And don’t forget — this Saturday is the last Saturday of our FREE Community Yin Yoga with Maddy at 7:15 am. 🧘‍♀️

Come move, stretch, strengthen or slow things down with us this long weekend.

See you in the studio!

We have been getting lots of questions lately about whether you can claim Pilates through your private health fund, so we thought we’d clear things up.

Back in 2019, the Australian Government removed rebates for more than 16 natural therapies, including Pilates. More recently, the rules changed again, allowing health funds to choose whether to include Pilates in eligible benefits.

What does that mean for you?

Many health funds already offer rebates for Pilates through Health Management or Healthy Lifestyle programs. These programs are designed to support people managing specific health conditions such as injury rehabilitation, chronic pain, osteoporosis, weight management and mental health.

Eligibility varies between health funds, but it will often require:

- Eligible extras cover
- A referral or Health Management form completed by your GP or allied health provider

We commonly see clients successfully access these benefits through funds such as ahm, Medibank, and several smaller health funds.

There are also more changes on the horizon. Some health funds are expected to introduce rebates for Pilates under General Treatment benefits when services are delivered to help manage a health condition.

At Rhythm Wellness, we already offer semi-private Clinical Pilates delivered by our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists, which is claimable through eligible private health funds.

We know you pay a lot for your private health insurance and want to make the most of it. Along with eligible Clinical Pilates, you may also be able to claim for:

- Physiotherapy
- Exercise Physiology consultations
- Remedial Massage
- Myotherapy
- Dietetics

Reach out with any questions. 💕

The last little bit of winter is still hanging around, and those cold mornings can make getting out of bed feel a little harder.

But spring and summer will be here before we know it, and now is the perfect time to start building your morning routine.

Get up, get your movement in, enjoy some morning sunshine and start your day feeling energised and grounded.

We have early classes most days from 5:30am, with Reformer Pilates, Yoga, Strength to help you find a routine that works for you.

Start now, so when the warmer mornings arrive, the habit is already there. ☀️

Our social media has been a little quiet lately.
Partly because I was sick. Partly because, I’ve been a little over social media.

As the millennial I am, social media has looked very different throughout my life.I remember a time before smartphones and social media (which sounds pretty nice sometimes). Then came MySpace, where the biggest decision was what song played on your profile and what wallpaper to choose. At uni it was Facebook, where we’d upload hundreds of blurry photos from road trips, random Tuesday nights and adventures with friends.

Now social media feels completely different.

There is so much access to education, inspiration and entertainment (seriously... why is watching someone frost a cake so satisfying?). But there is also more noise than ever before. Between influencers, AI-generated content and endless opinions, it can feel exhausting trying to work out what’s real, what’s helpful and what’s just another trend.

It also feels like we’ve never been more connected online, yet sometimes less connected in real life.

One of the things we don’t talk about enough when it comes to yoga, Pilates and strength classes isn’t just the physical or mental benefits, it’s the community.

My favourite part of Rhythm has never been classes or therapies we offer.

It’s watching people become friends.

It’s seeing clients stay after class for a cup of tea and a chat.

It’s instructors genuinely knowing what’s happening in people’s lives.

It’s celebrating wins together, supporting each other through tough times, and creating a space where people feel like they belong.

That kind of connection is becoming increasingly rare, and I think it’s something we all need a little more of.

So, after my long-winded explanation for disappearing from social media... if you’ve been craving genuine connection, we would love to welcome you into our community.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your health isn’t another wellness trend.

Sometimes it’s simply finding people you’re happy to move, laugh and share a cup of tea with.
