A friend of mine comes here regularly and said she could really felt the difference after a few weeks of regularly sessions. I eventually found the time to check it out, and liked it more than yoga. I found they focused more on stretching and breathing exercises, whereas yoga was similar but incorporated too much of the mind-relaxing exercises - I just wanted to stretch and tone up. The exercises they do at Pilates are full on. If you do it properly, it's pretty heavy stuff. I found that even after only a few consecutive casual sessions I could already begin to feel a difference. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and much preferred it over rigorous exercise on the treadmill. The only thing that stops me from coming here so often are the prices! It's not cheap - private sessions start from $70, small groups from $37, and pilatesstick classes from $27 - enough to send me broke. It's definitely a great alternative when you're bored of the gym - I would love to mix it up between gym seshes with a bit of pilates, it's perfect if you're looking to tone up, improve posture and breathing.

North Adelaide Fitness Centre has won a plethora of Adelaide awards as an independent fitness…read morecentre and gives the bigger, more expensive gyms a really good run for their money. North Adelaide runs a fully equipped gymnasium with separate weights and cardio room. In addition, they have two rooms allocated for fitness classes. They run all of the popular Les Mills classes and a couple of their own including Pilates, Yoga and Kickboxing. They also offer RPM in the cycling room downstairs but I cannot tell you what it's like because RPM is the worst kind of pain ever invented and I rather poke my own eyes out then go. The staff are super friendly and will sit down with you and work out what they can do for you to help with your weight loss and fitness goals. They will also create a personal fitness plan for free and they go through all of the exercises and movements so they can be performed and safely and correctly for the maximum benefits. They also run boot camps and fund raising fitness classes which make for an exciting and uplifting atmosphere, where you really feel welcome. Because of its location there is limited parking which can be a pain in the butt, and the street is also used as a shortcut for traffic coming from the city. So try to avoid peak times and there will be less traffic, more parking, and less sweaty beefy men filling the weights room!
