Here's how the class types differ and who each one is for.
Reformer
reformerGee we love the Reformer because it makes you feel bullet-proof when you finish a class. Even though the name sounds scary, don’t sweat it. Reformer is a fab piece of equipment for the Pilates virgin as well as the gym junkie. The Pilates reformer uses a spring loaded base to challenge your body’s strength and balance while you perform precise movements. There are hundreds of exercises to do on the Reformer and we will fine-tune your reformer sesh exactly to your ability. The beauty is, you’re also in a class of supportive peeps while totally doing your own thing. However, if you want a private or semi-private class we’ve also got you covered.
Mat
matWhen Joe Pilates realised not everyone would have access to one of his Reformers he evolved his exercises to create Pilates mat. Pilates mat has all of the juiciness of Reformer Pilates but you’ll do it on a mat while using small apparatus like balls, foam rollers, bands or magic circles. Pilates mat at BBPilates+physio is not one size fits all. We know your bod, we know what you can and cannot do and we modify exercises for you as needed. Your Pilates instructors will remember which knee is your tricky one, that you slouch like a teenager when you drive or that you are a desk potato by day. They’ll work with your body because that’s our style.
Private Reformer
privateDo you need a little more help getting started or do you just want the privacy of a 1:1 class with your own teacher? Well Private Reformer is the bees knees for kick starting your Pilates career and this environment gives you the individualised attention you need. These sessions are 45 minutes and can be booked online with one of our instructors. Go you!
Prenatal Mat
prenatalBBPilates is the specialist in prenatal Pilates. We know all of the things your pregnant pelvis needs to stay strong and we know how to keep those abdominals from separating. At BBPilates we’ve taken out all of the exercises that aggravate pelvis and low back pain and replaced them with the perfect combination of core strengthening and baby belly ab work. Our prenatal exercises are so safe they’ve even been made into an online program called Body Beyond Birth and are endorsed by leading obstetricians.
Semi Private Reformer
semi-privateNot keen on a group class, but want to come along with your bestie, partner, or teen? Semi Privates are 2:1 sessions where you and your Pilates buddy can have a teacher all to yourselves for a 45 minute session. Limited times are available.

Mums & Bubs
mums & bubsIf you can’t get out of the house to exercise without a little baby buddy in tow, the Mums & Bubs Pilates Mat Class at BBPilates will help you get ‘er done! We will tighten and tone that mummy tummy and get your core rockin’ again and we don’t mind if your baby is wriggling around the studio while you do it. This class is as good for the body as it is for the soul because you’ll be hanging out with a group of mummies just as yummy as you.
