The day has arrived for us to reopen! We have missed seeing you all and are beyond excited to share our new space.
It has been nearly four months and nothing could have prepared us for the news of the pandemic restrictions. However, we grabbed onto every little bit of knowledge and strength we had and we are so proud of what we can now offer to our community.
Whilst we were unable to have face-to-face instructions during the COVID-19 restrictions, we have ensured that we maintained contact through social media forums. The offering of the free classes 6 days a week was our acknowledgement and gratitude to you for supporting us through the unprecedented times. For your ongoing support, we thank you!
Our phenomenal Northern Rivers Pilates team has been brilliant and stayed strong, supporting themselves through every means of cyber teaching available and we all remained in contact encouraging each other to keep striving for knowledge, moving our bodies for wellness and discovery of movement to share with you all when we returned.
Some changes in our staff …
- Introducing our newest team member, Kevin Privett. Kevin and I first met nearly 18 years ago when we were in Sydney at uni together doing the Pilates Diploma. He comes to us not only highly qualified and experienced as you can read in his bio, but with an amazing personality and flare to teach.
- Rhiannan will be stepping away from her reception duties. She has been doing her Diploma of Pilates while in isolation and will be continuing to do so. Exciting news is, you can have a private training session with her on the equipment on Wednesdays for a semi private price, you can do this online.
- Caitlin will be stepping in at the reception covering Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7.30 am to 1.30 pm and Wednesday evenings.
- Maddi, Sam and I are excited to be back and bringing you innovation to your workouts.
New hours of operation
Monday to Thursday: 6.30 AM – 630 PM
Friday 6.30 AM – 12.30 PM
Introduction of mat / barre classes
Every week day at 9:30 AM and 5.30 PM, you now have access to mat/barre and studio classes. We listened to how much everyone was enjoying the Facebook Live mat classes and want to offer those ongoing. Joseph Pilates said that if you did Pilates 4 times a week for 3 months you would establish a whole new body health. I want this possibility made for everyone. Mat classes enable the purse strings to stretch further. I highly recommend you complement your studio sessions with the mat classes and see how strong you will feel. I am so excited to be able to offer this extra modality for you. You can do a mat class for under $10 a class. We have an unlimited class offer card for only $200 with an expiry of 12 weeks from the date of purchase. So you can attend a class every day of the week which would mean you are getting your class for $3. You can not go wrong with this deal. All classes must be booked and we will have a cut off on unlimited class card holder at any one time to ensure we do not over populate the classes. We have our Private face-book group available with classes on tap for you. Only $10 a month.
