WHAT IS PILATES?

Created by Joseph Pilates during World War 1, Pilates is a low-impact, mind-body exercise method that builds core strength, stability, posture, and flexibility through precise, controlled movements. At Arise, we use world-class Reformers (Pilates equipment with springs and a sliding carriage) to provide support & challenge for maximum results.

WHO IS PILATES GOOD FOR?

Shorter answer would be, who is Pilates not good for! Whether you're starting out or a seasoned Pilates professional, we have a class style that will suit every body! Pilates is proven to improve core strength, full-body mobility and strength, flexibility and balance and it great for pre postnatal women, men, athletes, busy parents, young professionals, tradies, and anyone else who values living a pain-free and mobile life. If you require clinical support, we are happy to recommend local allied health providers.
