Working hard and having fun!
What our clients say
"I started pilates at Pilates Bodyworks South Yarra after my first child was born in an effort to regain my fitness and strength. I enjoyed it so much that I continued attending a weekly class throughout my second pregnancy until I was 37 weeks pregnant. Every class was adapted to suit my changing body and helped me feel strong and fit throughout my pregnancy. I’m sure that maintaining my fitness through pilates contributed to my quick recovery after the birth of my second baby."

"I have tried pilates at several clinics and physiotherapists over the past ten years. The classes here are unparalleled. Every class is different, working various parts of the body, with variety to keep things interesting. After a year of attending, I still find I'm trying new exercises with every visit. My teacher has a unique ability to keep her eye on every individual in her small classes, and her nuanced corrections are always delivered instantly. I've felt myself getting stronger and, more importantly, making postural corrections in daily life away from class. Classes are fun, and I always look forward to returning!"

"My wife and I have been fortunate enough to have been instructed by Karen. Her attention to detail and technique is unparalleled and her incredible ability to maintain engaging variability has made two keen and loyal and constantly improving students out of us. We would recommend that anyone looking to benefit from years of experience in teaching and practicing pilates look no further than Karen at Pilates Bodyworks."

"I began Pilates after having surgery on my back. My initial goal was to improve the strength in my lower back. It was great that my teacher could develop a program that catered to my injury. After 6 months of weekly private sessions not only is my back stronger, so too is my overall fitness. I've noticed a great improvement in my flexibility, core strength and general muscle tone."
- Jolyon Gray, 40+, Retail Management
"I've been attending Pilates Bodyworks in South Yarra for over five years now and couldn't recommend Karen and the team more highly. I first started seeing Karen when I moved to South Yarra and have since attended classes on various days/times with a number of different instructors too. Despite being in a class with up to three other people, I always feel as though I'm getting a very tailored, individualised service. Pilates helped me get in shape for my wedding, stay fit in the lead up to the birth of my first child, and get my core strength back after pregnancy. These classes are something I look forward to every week and are something I get a lot out of in terms of strength and fitness too!"
