About Us
At Pilates, etc., we’re guided by three words:
Movement. Balance. Growth.
Through the disciplines of pilates, yoga and personal fitness, Pilates, etc. provides a supportive and inclusive exercise environment. Exercise is important… not just for the body, but for the mind. By improving strength and mobility, functional movement and coordination, we can also improve and strengthen our mental health.
Using both traditional and contemporary Pilates methods, we provide challenging (but, supportive), tailored and inspiring sessions and classes to help you achieve your goals. Whether your goal is to improve your functional movement, recover from an injury, or achieve specific aesthetic targets.
Our mission is for you to take what you learn in the studio back into your daily life, so you can change the way you move, and even the way you think, allowing you to grow in strength and confidence, both physically and mentally.
Our Instructors
