Serenity now serenity now. This studio is just beautiful…read more I tried Yoga Flow at Happy Melon using my Bodypass membership and really enjoyed my time here. Upon arrival you need to walk through the tiny alleyway and enter through the side door and reception is to the left. Reception is open and bright and I was warmly welcomed and asked to register my details as to head upstairs for the ladies lockeroom. So this lockeroom is so clean and well designed with gorgeous basins, clean toilets, showers and lockers that have USB ports and chargers. Did I also mention that you don't bring yoga mats to class as everything is supplied and cleaned for you? Yes thats right, manduka mats, cork blocks, straps and even towels. Let's move on to the instructor...she was friendly, clear and provided gentle adjustment. She was a sub but I'd be happy if all of their instructors were like this. After the class there is hot tea to try and many regulars stayed for a double. I had a Happy Melon tea and toured the studio and stood at the patio area and was purely happy. What a way to start my Sunday. Cause I use bodypass I can only go 3 times a month but they have several membership options (that seem on the dearer side) but hey they also offer Pilate's, meditation, heaps of workshops and lots of types of yoga! Can't wait to go back.

I started coming to Happy Melon because I was looking for a prenatal pilates class. There aren't…read moretoo many of them to be found, but Happy Melon has multiple sessions every week - and even a postnatal class for when you are transitioning back into regular practice. The instructors have all been great and are super knowledgable about pregnancy and the changes happening to your body throughout. They know just how much to push you so you remain strong but without doing anything to harm your body or your baby. Lucie is my favourite because she has very good taste in music and is so good at giving gentle corrections! I have not been to a yoga class, but they look varied and interesting. The space (for pilates it is a few blocks over on Wills Street), is calm and light and the pilates machines are fairly new and of a very high quality. Everything is clean, and they don't even ask you to wipe down the machines. I feel like a princess! It's a great studio if you want to keep up your pilates practice during your pregnancy, and really just seems like a great studio all around!

I was introduced to KX Pilates through a friend of mine who raved about it. I was slightly nervous…read moreabout attending a class as I heard Pilates reformer requires extreme balance and co-ordination, which I lack at the best of times. I was pleasantly surprised to be guided through personally by owner and expert Aaron who helped my each step of the way. The studio was very boutique and boast the latest beds in a light filled room with a complementary apple on your way out. I must admit that the casual prices are a bit steep at 30 a session which would probably stop me from continuing on a regular basis. I did however find a scoupon deal which includes 5 sessions for 29 on the internet & purchased it in a heartbeat. I really enjoyed the class and intend on going back to get some more experience.

Pilates on Bourke is currently my favourite place for reformer classes. They are fairly small with…read moreonly 8 machines. This means lots of individual attention. And the instructors are super-helpful, not afraid to get hands on and complement you when you are getting better. The jumpboard classes are especially good, but I have not had a bad class here. I have also tried their barre class which was one of the better ones in the city. Natalya is really fun and her play list veers more into the pop territory, which is great for keeping the energy up during class.

I'm 50+ and exercise is not in my vocabulary, so am a large shape, but not in shape…read more This is week 2 going 3 times a week and I am planning on continuing coming back ! I have never exercised before, never been to a gym, and don't even walk regularly. Have been hearing about pilates for years and wanted to try it out so when I saw this great deal for this new pilates studio, it was enough motivation to get me there for an orientation. Lovely, clean, new studio, the sweetest and kindest instructors with the greatest bodies. And I could do the movements ! Most are on my back or on my side. I didn't work up a sweat, but certainly felt the burn. Exercises are on screens around the room, so the girls can focus on you to make sure you are doing the movements correctly, and not hurting yourself. They also give me different exercises if the ones on the video are too advanced for me. Love the service and care ! So I've had 6 sessions and am getting better at some of the movements, so happy to keep coming back. The workouts are 45 minutes, so very doable and the time seems to be going more and more quickly. I'm moving better in general, and much easier to get up and down. I highly recommend this studio. They are running a promotion right now for 3 free lessons if you mention Lily sent you.

From the owner: Richmond Pilates is a boutique Reformer Pilates studio in the heart of Bridge Road, Richmond…read more We use the authentic principles devised by Joseph Pilates to provide you with a full body fitness routine. Our sessions are inclusive of all fitness levels and body types. Every session is capped at eight (8) members so we can focus on each person's individual needs. Each exercise is customised to your ability regardless if you are a beginner, intermediate or re-starter. This means you can attend any session and receive a workout which is right for you. Typically our 'Fundamentals' class is for those who have not attended many Pilates sessions and may require more explanation about body placement etc. However, if this time-slot suits those who have been attending the studio for a while it is definitely open to them as well. It just allows us to focus a little more on the initial instructions which are generally required at the beginning of your Pilates journey. Our Instructors care about your Pilates experience and devote a lot of time to ensure that your sessions cover all areas of the body. Whilst many people know that Pilates is heavily focused on the core - or the Powerhouse, as we call it - we also ensure that your upper and lower body receive just as much attention. Pilates is a fantastic way to tone up, strengthen muscles, improve flexibility and lose weight.

I came here to experience yin yoga for the first time. The instructor was Wil, who was lovely. When…read moreI arrived I filled out a simple form asking of any injuries. Then I paid $25 for a drop-in, casual class. I practice hatha yoga and bikram so yin yoga was different. To be honest, at first, I thought the poses were too simple and not challenging. So i collapsed heavy into the poses. The next day, my body was sore in all sorts of places I forgot about!!! I quite enjoyed the spiritual element to the class. Also, the venue was adorable. When I go to yoga, I like it more spiritual based with movement and not super broey gym vibe. Wil was great talking about concepts such as compassion, letting go of our desire to control, and accept this moment where we are right now. After class, I stayed and chatted a bit with wil. I will be coming back my next time in australia for his class he's a doll.

What class did you try? I tried a mat Pilate's class with a short relaxation at the end…read more How many people were in the class? 5 of us plus instructor What equipment and facilities are there? You go up the stairs to the right to enter and the bathrooms are down the hall. I don't recall there being change rooms but there is water, table and brnches to rest, cubby holes and all equipment provided for (mats, bolsters, blocks, foam rollers). The first area of the studio is reception and reformers and then the yoga/barre/Pilate's is at the back room. What was not so good? Parking at Camberwell and people with physical disabilities may find it difficult to get up the stairs (not sure if there is an elevator). Level of happiness: 10/10 going to mat Pilate's...to be honest I never really liked Pilate's but now I'm getting it more. I don't sweat like crazy but my muscles burn baby burn if you do it right. So I guess it is about finding the right teacher who can explain it in a way I get it. This place explained it well so thumbs up.
