“Pilates has increased my strength and stamina - I can do heaps more jumps and push ups at the gym than I could before.

I have weak wrists and hip imbalances, and Pilates has helped me recondition and realign so my movement is better.

Bec is actively instructing and correcting during classes, it helps me get out of my head and focus as I’m not worrying if I’m doing it properly - I know she’ll help me if I’m not.

It’s active meditation but also so much fun!”

“When I started I was looking for something to help my lower back. I had lower back pain and I didn't trust myself to move - I knew if I did something I would likely be in pain and I was worried I would get a serious injury.

It only took a couple of classes before I felt more confident about my back, I felt stronger. It was amazing to go from being nervous to feeling good about moving. I feel the rest of my body is supporting my back and I'm moving in ways that I haven't been able to in ages.

I love how Bec keeps reminding us to slow down. I've done a lot of high intensity fitness classes and always thought that wasn't quite right for me. I like that this feels less competitive and I can go at my own pace.

I also love how the focus in the studio is on moving to feel good, rather than losing weight or anything like that. It's all about moving to feel better in your body. “

“I’m amazed at how relaxed I am after a class. My aim when I joined was to get a toned and strong body but I also found it to be the best stress reliever! And I get much better sleep on the days I do a Pilates session.

I like the low impact exercises and the fact that I get to do a full body workout horizontally.

Bec is an incredible instructor. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“I have done Pilates in the past but never really enjoyed it and also I didn't believe I was very good at it. The environment at Seed Pilates Studio has changed my mind completely. I feel like I am addicted now and have surprised myself with how much I have improved.

The classes are relaxed whilst still challenging and the teachers and class mates all make it feel very comfortable. Flexibility has never been a strength of mine but with the stretch classes I am definitely seeing improvements. I have now done moves that I never thought would be possible. I have learnt to trust my body with what it is capable of. I am stronger than I thought.

Pilates has changed my mindset and I now feel more enthusiastic about giving new moves a go. This has also been a change in my everyday mindset.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the instructors for making Pilates fun for me and helping my overall improvement.”

“I started Pilates after I had an injury from the birth of my son. Pilates has really helped. I notice that it feels worse when I can’t get there for my usual two sessions a week.

I love that there is no one size fits all approach, classes are adapted to you as a person. You can go as hard or as easy as you like, push yourself or take it a bit easy - whatever you need that day.

It’s my outlet to do something that I like. It’s fun - the rhythm of the moves and breathwork all makes it enjoyable.

The Pilates gang is great too - everyone has been so welcoming and it’s just such a great group!

I go home after class and my husband asks how class was and I’ll say “I did a full plank today, I haven’t been able to do that ever!” or “I got a bit further in pikes!” It builds strength and confidence, knowing I can do these things with practice.”

“I was going to the Osteopath every three months or so, however since starting Pilates my last visit was five months between visits and the Osteopath could see the improvement in my posture and walking.

Pilates is a gentle but still very effective way of moving to strengthen and stretch my body.

As a bigger framed person who lacks confidence and sometimes still has issues with mobility, my experience has been that Pilates can be adapted to all ages and all shapes and sizes.

Bec is a fantastic instructor who is always encouraging me and makes sure the exercises are right for me and makes alterations if needed.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Seed Pilates Studio as a supportive and welcoming place to give Pilates a go.”

“I’m not very flexible and I don’t have great balance anymore, since my back issues have affected my leg and hips it’s been getting worse.

I feel better since I’ve started at Seed Pilates Studio - other things I’ve done haven’t helped me that much, but this has. I get up out of bed easier in the morning and generally things are easier to do. Things you notice as you get older.

Eric said it was good and so I decided to come along. I’ve never had exercise that I didn’t mind coming to, but this I enjoy.

We’ve never been fitness fanatics, but we look forward to coming to our sessions each week.”

“My goal was to get stronger and lose a bit of weight. I had been unwell for over a year and I feel like any strength I did have was gone.

I love it all. I love Bec - she’s a great instructor. She made me feel so comfortable. When I was embarrassed about not being able to do something she helped me and didn’t make me feel bad about it.

I love how my body feels. I feel so much stronger and more comfortable in my body.

I love jumpboards, and arms in straps - I like the lying down stuff.”

"The strength side of Reformer Pilates is the main benefit for me, though I also love the flexibility and I know building my balance is really important for my body.

Pilates complements everything else I do. I do boxing, swim and bike ride which are all more cardio type exercises.

Pilates is less intense cardio wise. But this works all the little muscles I don't use in my other workouts. And it has the strength and balance work that I know I need.

I've noticed all the other activities are easier as I have more range of movement. My core and leg strength is better. My planking is better.

I love feet in straps (like everyone) but I also like using the box, and I love using all the other bits - like the squishy ball and the magic circles and the weights. As much as I may whinge about it at the time, I love those extra things that give an extra challenge.”

“I like the core side of it most. That’s what I wanted to get stronger with and I’m definitely getting that.

I do gym, run and play a bit of soccer, but this is different. It is focused on a lot of body parts we never think of. A lot of people think Pilates is easy, but it’s not easy! All the concentration and focus on one part of the body, but it’s never easy.

I’m also noticing I’m more flexible, which is great.“
