📍 HIIT Pilates Studio, St Leonards

Come move, revitalise your body with some red light therapy and strength training! You know you deserve it 🔗 Book in from September 1 and we’ll see you there!

📢 Engage your core. You’ve heard it! We’ve said it, BUT what does it actually mean?! 🤔

In our minds, we layer it in three parts:

👖 First, the jeans. Even with the low-rise era here, we are thinking of that one much-loved snug pair in the back of the closet you gotta wiggle a little to get into. That feeling of everything drawing in and coming together at the centre with a zip. Snug, solid and safe, which is what that form will make you in class. Holding you exactly where you need to be

Second, we tie it. Think apron, you’re the chef. Imagine tying one around the front to back. Ribs coming down to the belly button as you tie it neatly together. A gentle but firm wrap that cinches everything in and keeps it there.

And then the third: squeeze that b***y (we’ll let you find your own visual for that one 😉)

Three contractions, layered together, and that’s what locks your pelvis into place.

This is the cue you want running through your mind the moment your legs start to shake, the moment you’re deep in standing work or balancing on one leg, wondering how much longer you can hold it. Because that shake is normal; your body working hard is normal. But losing this? That’s when things go sideways. That’s when you fall. That’s when you get hurt; nobody wants that

Three simple contractions, and suddenly your whole class stands a little steadier, and you are safe on that torture machine we know and love.

Everyone else is watching a movie. We’re watching the countdown ✈️🌴Phuket, February 2027. You coming?

Five nights at Villa Beyond, Pilates, an infinity pool over Bang Tao Bay, and a chef who’s got every meal covered. A retreat you’ll want to escape to. Something’s dropping Tuesday 2nd of September, and it’s the best price this retreat will ever be.

This is one monster of a series. Delicious burn incoming 🔥 Thank you to our Instructor Randall for this one!

What you need? Lighter dumbbells. We’re doing longer lever movements, so we want something you can handle with good form. 2 to 4kg will work, and this one will work you head to toe, so let’s get it.

This sequence looks gorgeous and feels even better, but we want to focus on our form to hit all those stabilisers. So go slow, as deep as you can. Engage your core and focus on long lines and your breath throughout.

Setup:
- Place dumbbells on the box
- Box next to the reformer with your front foot, this is where you’ll feel it
- Your back foot lifts, toes finding the headrest
- Grab those dumbbells and get ready to work

Here’s how it builds:
1️⃣ Lateral lunge. Lean forward, dumbbells go evenly on your box leg, butt goes back and the leg on the carriage stays long and straight as you slide into the lunge. Drop deep through that hip on the box foot, this is where the stabilisers switch on.

2️⃣ Add the lat T raise. Extend your arms into a T when you’re in your lunge. You’ll feel those shoulders light up straight away, especially as you rise all the way back to stand.

3️⃣ Layer in a skater, with the dumbbells meeting overhead. Yes, coordination. We love a balance and brain activation moment. This is where you’ll feel it deeper into that working leg.

4️⃣ Skaters only, plus around the worlds. Now it intensifies. Get deep into those skates and work those arms around and above, your stabiliser leg is holding on for real endurance here.

5️⃣ Lift that heel, hold and pulse with arms extended. You may feel like a praying mantis, but this is your final progression. Pulse down into that leg on the box and feel it light up through the quads and glutes as you hold.

Head to toe, stability to strength. This one earns its burn.
