What was once a niche fitness method has become one of the most dominant forces in the global fitness and wellness space. Pilates—particularly Reformer-based Pilates—has experienced significant growth, with ClassPass reporting a 66% year-on-year increase in bookings, making it the most popular workout worldwide for the third consecutive year.
This surge reflects a broader shift towards low-impact, results-driven training, as more people prioritise strength, mobility, and sustainable movement practices in their fitness routines.
But as studios continue to emerge across Australia and New Zealand, the real question is no longer what is Pilates? It’s what makes one studio worth choosing over another?
Because today’s consumer isn’t just looking for a workout. They’re looking for value, variety, expertise, and an experience that delivers real, lasting results.
At Club Pilates, the answer lies in offering more than just a regular reformer Pilates class. It’s about creating a complete training environment, one that combines world-class equipment, expertly designed class formats taught by highly trained instructors, and a depth of programming that supports everybody, at every stage.
A workout built on innovation
Step into a Club Pilates studio and you’ll quickly realise this isn’t your standard reformer Pilates or boutique fitness experience. Each session is powered by a curated combination of apparatus, designed to both support and challenge your body in equal measure.
At the centre is the Reformer, the most recognisable piece of Pilates equipment. Its sliding carriage and spring-based resistance system allow for a seamless blend of strength, control, and mobility, adaptable for every fitness level, from beginner through to advanced.
Club Pilates classes integrate additional apparatus to elevate every workout. The EXO Chair introduces a new level of functional, weight-bearing resistance, challenging stability, balance, and control through a smaller base of support.
The Springboard adds another dimension, using wall-mounted springs to create dynamic resistance for both upper and lower body training. Meanwhile, TRX® suspension straps harness your body weight and gravity, unlocking hundreds of adjustable exercises that build strength, flexibility, and coordination.
Together, these elements create a workout that is endlessly varied, low-impact, and intelligently designed, supporting those who need additional assistance in their Reformer-based workouts, while also challenging those ready to push further and enhance their training, delivering results you can feel both in and out of the studio.
More than one way to move
Where Club Pilates truly sets itself apart is in its breadth of class offerings, with up to eight different class types available, seven days a week. Guided by highly trained instructors, some with over 500 hours of comprehensive education, every session is designed to ensure movements are both safe, effective and engaging, no matter your experience level.
This depth of programming ensures that no two workouts feel the same, while giving members the flexibility to tailor their training to their individual goals, energy levels, and lifestyles. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve mobility, increase flexibility, or simply take time to reset and recover, there is a class designed to meet you where you are and evolve with you as you progress. It’s an experience that can support you through each stage of your life, no matter what you need.
At the core of the offering is Reformer Flow, a contemporary take on classical Pilates that builds strength, balance, and coordination through fluid, full-body movement.
For those looking to elevate their heart rate, Cardio Sculpt introduces a dynamic, low-impact cardio element using the Jumpboard, delivering a high-energy workout that’s powerful yet gentle on the joints. In contrast, Center + Balance provides a restorative reset, focusing on deep stretching and mobility to improve flexibility, reduce soreness, and support overall performance.
For a more functional challenge, Control takes Pilates into an upright, standing format targeting the lower body while enhancing stability and movement patterns that translate into everyday life. Restore complements this with a focus on recovery and regeneration, combining Reformer-based exercises with myofascial release techniques to help the body repair, rebuild, and perform at its best.
And for those ready to push further, Suspend integrates TRX® suspension training blending strength, coordination, and core stability in a way that carries over seamlessly into sport and daily movement.
It’s this carefully curated mix of class styles, combined with expert instruction and thoughtful programming, that transforms the Club Pilates experience from a single workout into a complete, well-rounded fitness solution.
And now, Club Pilates is taking that experience even further.
Introducing CP Circuit, a new class designed to bring energy, intensity, and structure together in one dynamic session.
Built around three progressive rounds, CP Circuit combines strength, mobility, and controlled cardio across multiple pieces of apparatus, creating a full-body workout that is both challenging and engaging from start to finish.
It’s the perfect option for those who love the precision of Reformer Flow but are ready to turn up the intensity, building strength and fitness without compromising on form, control, or the core principles of Pilates.
As the first new class introduced to Club Pilates programming since launching in Australia in 2021, CP Circuit marks an exciting new chapter for the brand. With 35 studios set to roll out the concept, training instructors and integrating it into their schedules over the coming months, it signals not only innovation, but continued momentum in an already fast-growing network.
Because at Club Pilates, progression isn’t about doing more, it’s about moving better. With a model that supports variety, expertise, and scalability, it’s clear why more Australians are choosing not just to be a member, but to be part of what comes next.
