Our Studio
Step inside our bright and spacious 12-bed reformer studio, equipped with the stunning Align-Pilates C8-Raven Reformers — including one extra-special custom pink Align-Pilates C8-Raven reformer, proudly supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) Australia.
Every Friday, our “Pink Reformer” is dedicated to fundraising. When a client chooses to use this reformer, we donate 100% of their revenue directly to the NBCF. At the end of each month, those contributions are tallied and donated to help fund vital breast cancer research and support services.
Facilities & Amenities
We want every visit to be as comfortable and convenient as possible. Our studio offers:
Ample free parking in the open lot directly outside the studio.
A welcoming reception and waiting area to relax before or after your class.
12 cubicles inside the studio for storing personal belongings.
Shared bathroom, shower, and baby change facilities located right next door. These amenities are available exclusively to customers of the retail precinct and remain locked to the general public for safety and cleanliness.
While we offer a range of supportive amenities, please note that we do not have a crèche or childcare facilities on site.
What To Expect
Please arrive 10 minutes early for your first class so our team can show you around and explain the settings on your reformer.
Your instructor will guide you through the session and help you get comfortable with the equipment.
We keep class sizes small (12 reformers total), so you’ll always get personal attention and support.
Expect a mix of strength, balance, and mobility work — leaving you feeling energised, centred, and strong.
If you’re new to Pilates, you can join our open-level classes, or you have the option of booking into our Reformer Foundations class, where we explain how our reformers work & take you through some common movements so that you are fully confident when joining an open-level group class.
What To Bring
Grip socks – For hygiene and safety, grip socks are required for all reformer classes.
Water bottle – Staying hydrated is key to getting the most out of your session.
Towel – Please bring a towel (or 2!).
A positive mindset – No matter your experience level, we’ll meet you where you are!
Locally owned. Proudly independent.
Deeply committed to your movement journey.

What Sets Us Apart
At Explore The Movement Pilates, we’re proud to do things a little differently.
Independently Owned & Operated
We’re not part of a franchise — and that’s something we value deeply. Our independence allows us to stay true to our philosophy of connection, care, and quality movement. Every class and every client matters here.
Personalised & Instructor-Led Programming
Each of our instructors develops their own unique programming for their sessions — no templated workouts, no TV screens. Every class is thoughtfully designed and fully instructed from start to finish. Our approach is Contrology-inspired, honouring the original Pilates repertoire developed by Joseph Pilates himself.
A Range of Class Styles
We offer Reformer, Clinical, and Mat Pilates (with plans to introduce combined Mat/Reformer sessions soon). Whether you’re looking to build strength, aid rehabilitation, or support your wellbeing during and after pregnancy, we have options to suit your needs and goals.
Authentic Care & Communication
We genuinely care about our clients — from the moment you make contact to your ongoing experience in the studio. Every message and email is personally answered, because great customer service isn’t just a promise here — it’s our standard.
Inclusive for Pre- & Post-Natal Clients
We proudly welcome healthy pre- and post-natal clients at any stage of their journey. Unlike many franchised studios with blanket restrictions (aka made-up rules), we take an informed, individualised approach — ensuring you can move safely and confidently. We align our programming with the established standards from both the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
