At PFS we specialize in creating the right workout program for YOU 💫Introducing our “Wisdom Years” Pilates Program. Did you know that a study in the Journal of Sports and Medicine found that women over 65 who did one hour of Pilates three times per week improved their strength, balance, and reaction time after 12 weeks compared to their non-Pilates peers?

🔙 **Throwback to Fitness** 🕰️ Who else remembers the high-energy aerobics of the '80s and the fitness crazes of the '90s? From jazzercise to step aerobics, our journey through fitness fads has been colorful and diverse. But through it all, one practice has stood the test of time, gracefully evolving and growing stronger with each decade: Mat Pilates. 🧘♀️✨ Mat Pilates, a practice rooted in the principles of Joseph Pilates, was ahead of its time, emphasising mind-body connection, core strength, and holistic well-being long before these became fitness buzzwords. Unlike the fleeting trends that have come and gone, Pilates has proven its endurance and relevance, adapting to meet the unique needs of every generation. Why has Mat Pilates remained a cornerstone in our wellness routines? 1. **Core Strength**: Beyond the surface, it builds deep abdominal strength, supporting your entire body in any movement and improving posture. 2. **Flexibility**: It gently stretches and strengthens your body, enhancing flexibility and reducing the risk of injury. 3. **Balance and Coordination**: Through controlled movements, it enhances your balance, encouraging a more stable and coordinated body. 4. **Mind-Body Connection**: Pilates isn't just a workout for the body; it's a discipline for the mind, enhancing mental clarity and stress reduction. 5. **Accessibility**: No matter your age or fitness level, Mat Pilates offers modifications and progressions, making it universally accessible. Let's embrace the nostalgia, blending the best of the past with our present to pave a healthier, more balanced future. Whether you're revisiting your fitness journey or stepping onto the mat for the first time, Mat Pilates welcomes you with open arms. Join us in celebrating the legacy of Mat Pilates, a practice truly timeless in its essence. BEGINNERS Mon 6.30pm & Wed 9am 🌟 Share your #PilatesJourney with us and let's inspire a movement that transcends time. 🌟 #PilatesEvolution #MindfulPilates #CoreConnection #BalancedBodyPilates #PilatesForEveryAge #MatPilatesMagic #PilatesHeritage #WellnessThroughPilates #ClassicPilatesMoves #PilatesRevival #TimelessPilates #PilatesJourney #HolisticPilate

This week we have two masterclasses for you to do; Pilates for Professionals with Bec on Friday 5.30 and Stretch and Chill with Jayne on Sunday at 5.30. Both classes will offer two very different workouts again. Beck’s workout will be the perfect Friday afternoon pick me up movement snack (and there may be a surprise Friday night beverage waiting for you) after a long week of sitting, chasing emails and neglecting self care. Jayne’s workout will be the perfect Sunday evening stretch, and she promises to bring her awesome playlist too. Book now to come and do these awesome classes and to support both @chris_obrien_lifehouse and @lifelineaustralia
On Saturday 21st October we will be officially celebrating our 5th Birthday. $15 from every ticket purchased will be donated to @chris_obrien_lifehouse and @lifelineaustralia. We are really proud to support these organisations who look after the physical and mental health of our community. We’ll also have a sweet treat (or two) for you to celebrate and to say thank you for your support for the last 5 years. 🙌🏻❤️
Congratulations to Chloe who did her 250th class with us yesterday! You might see Chloe a little more around the studio in the next few weeks as she begins her mentoring with us in readiness to join our team. Congratulations Chloe and we are really excited to see your journey from superstar client to superstar Instructor.

Pilates Myth #4 This one is equal parts right and wrong. A Pilates shape can be held as a pose to stretch the body (on or off your reformer), and it can also be used as a form of calisthenics. However, once the spring is on the machine and you are pushing/pulling into the machine or straps, you are effectively loading the muscles, like strength or resistance training. So, holding a pose in a Pilates shape = extending a body part to it's full length, or depending on the shape, developing strength, endurance and flexibility. Working the body on the machine with springs on = loading into muscles
Pilates Myths #2 No one owns any movement, strength or fitness modality. Movement, exercise, looking after your physical and mental health is for everyone. In fact, Muscle mass decreases approximately 3–8% per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline is even higher after the age of 60. The best way to counter this, is to strength train. Which in Pilates terms means pop those springs on and push/pull! *The irony of this comment is that it was actually developed by a man (Joe Pilates) for men.
Pilates Myths #1 This week we are going to be addressing a few myths and beliefs around Reformer Pilates and health and fitness. This one is a pretty big myth. It’s anatomically impossible to only work one area of the body. All parts of the body work to support each other in movement and exercise. Reformer Pilates works all areas of the body. By the end of your session, you’ll end up with a full body workout, and your core is a part of your body. So, your core will get a workout, but so will other parts of your body.

-Do you suffer from tight, sore muscles at the front of the hip/upper thigh areas? -Do you suffer aches and pains in your neck, shoulder, lower back, and knee areas? -Do you moan and groan getting out of a chair, off the floor, and or out of bed in the morning due to the body feeling stiff and or sore?? READ ON BECAUSE I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP 😘 Cut and paste the link shared into Facebook to request to join the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1128915341050021 I have uploaded a 1-hour workshop so you can learn the fundamentals of the Pilates method whilst learning a fantastic routine you can do daily, (or break into parts through the day or over two days), stretching out aches and pains caused by repeatedly using the same muscles over and over again through the day, and strengthen weakened, potentially overused muscles. All clients who are currently on my books please go to the private Facebook page and join so you can take advantage of the info I share there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRTLvHGx6-8 Remember ladies, the way we move can give the game away. We need to move with fluidity and ease if we are to truly look and feel youthful.

Whether our clients are athletes or regular people, young or older, males or females, we tailor each Pilates session to suit the clients individual fitness goals and abilities by giving ‘exercise layers’ to start from and move towards!

Clients feel happy and confident when they see and feel the progress they are making during each session. Smiles are part of the process for them and us! 👏👏 Happy days are when we move well and live better! #reformerpilates #pilatesforeverybody #mendopilates #pilatesforeveryage #reformerstudio #reformerworkout #pilatesclasses #pilatesfit #ageisnobarrier

Have you done one of our Burn classes? If you have you’ll know why these classes sell out fast! A combination of weights and reformer, these classes are designed to build muscle and get you sweaty! Think functional movement, strong spring tension and lots of planks. And we are now adding another Burn class to the schedule from Monday 6pm next week. Beginners are welcome too, just choose lighter weights when you set up.
We are challenge ready! We are kicking off our first challenge this year on the 1st March. Simply complete 20 classes throughout March for your chance to go into the draw to win back your 20 classes plus an $150 activewear voucher for the brand of your choice. Register on the board in the studio when you are in the studio next and pop that star next to your name each time you complete the class through March. Challenge packs are available for the early bird price of $300. Just email the studio on [email protected] to make your early bird purchase. Challenge packs will be available online from the 26th February for $320. Challenge packs can only be used during the month of March. Our challenge winner will be drawn on the 1st April, fingers crossed that it will be you! 📸 @kristyntaylorphotography

COMMUNITY HYGIENE; We pride ourselves on the high standards of hygiene we have at our studio to keep you fit and healthy and minimize any transmission of any viruses. We have air purifiers, hand sanitizers, constant fresh air flowing through the studio due to windows and doors open during your workout, machines spaced at 1.5 meters and constant cleaning of our studio. One thing we have learned over the past few years is that viruses can be transmitted through close contact and we want to continue to minimize exposure in your studio to any virus. We need you to do your bit too. When you come into the studio, you just need to do a few things; 1. Make sure you bring your own towel, drink bottle and socks to the studio for your workout (we have water for you and you can purchase Pilates socks at the front if you like, any socks are fine though) 2. Wipe your machine down before and after you start your workout. You can use our nice smelling hand sanitizers also which you will find everywhere in the studio. 3. Please keep your socks on during your workout. (Feet can also carry bacteria like hands and are all prone to fungus infections which we know no one is keen to contract) 4. If you aren’t feeling well, stay home. We can extend your pack in the event of sickness. Your body needs to fight your virus, not your workout. Thanks so much for working with us on this, we value your commitment to not just your health, but your communities health too. 📸 @kristyn_taylor
Do you need a little New Year inspiration? Then meet Audrey. 88 years young and planking like a pro. When Audrey first contacted me she said "I am ancient but reasonably agile". Trust me there is nothing "ancient" about Audrey. She springs into our classes with energy and enthusiasm, she knows her limitations (which are few) but is absolutely committed to pushing herself to stay fit, healthy, strong and mobile. I am inspired by Audrey every time we work together and I know that her joie de vivre rubs off on other people and has even earned her the nickname of The Famous Audrey (aka TFA) over in Australia (where she has just come back from after 3 weeks of travelling). Audrey is a wonderful example of not being defined by your age and I am so grateful to have role models like her in my life. #inspiration #InspirationalWomen #fitnessinspirations #fitnessinspiration #strongwomen #strongwoman #ageisjustanumber #joiedevivre #plankinglikeapro #planking #plankinglikeaboss #pilatesforeveryage #pilatesforall #pilatesforever #pilatesforlife #pilatesforeveryone #pilatesforstrength #pilatesforeverybody #januaryinspiration #stayfit #stayfitandhealthy #stayfiteveryday #staymobile #fitnesscommitment #fitnesscommitments #rolemodel #grateful

As we head closer to the end of year, and we are all celebrating different milestones, you may be feeling like you need to go harder in the gym or to restrict certain food groups to compensate. This mindset can be quite toxic and lead to disappointments. To look after yourself, change your perspective. Try and see things more with a balanced mindset. Sure we may all eat or drink a bit more around this time, but don’t see it as a setback. Including good food and movement choices everyday rather than going harder or faster is a much more balanced way of looking at things. 📸 @kristyntaylorphotography

And Jayne is our next teacher who joins our team this week! A long time client of the studio and an even longer practitioner of Pilates Jayne will be taking over Thursday nights at Perform. Jayne started practicing Pilates after her two children were born to strengthen her body, so she is really passionate in helping others strengthen their bodies too. She has a wicked sense of humour and an awesome control of the slow burn. Book your Thursday class with Jayne now! @jayneclarkeadoo
Mary joins our team this week! Mary has also been a long time client of ours and has now taken the plunge to work with us. You may have caught Mary in a few classes already, and have gone through some awesome moves with our smiling assassin. Mary comes from a dance background and has been practicing Pilates since she was very young, as her mum is a Pilates teacher too. Catch her on Saturdays at the studio. ⭐️
Pilates for daily life 🌟 How can we use Pilates in our daily lives? We all use muscles and movements every moment of every day, without a second thought (aren’t bodies amazing!), but sometimes we may need a little bit of help to bring awareness to help reinstate healthy movement patterns for everyday activities /movements / positions that we adopt habitually on a daily basis. A traditional pilates matwork class often focusses on exercises performed on the floor, which feels great… But, when it comes to training the body for functional movements it can be really effective to train the body in positions we spend much of our day in - ie. sitting, standing, walking. Hence us creating our ‘Pilates for daily life’ classes on a Thursday at 10.40am. Working mainly in standing and sitting, the class takes participants through many pilates exercises, including movements to strengthen, lengthen, stretch, mobilise, tone, all the whole creating greater flexibility, body awareness and balance. Regular class attendees will tell you that this class is in no way an ‘easy option’ and you will work just as hard as in a ‘normal’ floor based mat class! But certainly we guarantee this class will see you reap the benefits, bringing more confidence to movement and bringing huge benefits for daily movements. This class can be attended by anyone and EVERY BODY is welcome, however it may be particularly helpful for people who: 🌟 May struggle to get up and down off the floor 🌟 Have limited range of movement in specific areas 🌟 Have lost confidence with movement or where there is fear of larger scale movement 🌟 are Returning to exercise after a surgery or injury (please consult your GP/Dr first) We have a max of 4 people in the class, to ensure we can adapt and modify exercises to suit peoples needs. There are spaces in the studio or on zoom Do get in touch if you’d like more information- we’d love to see you ☺️ we start a new 7 week block next week, but it’s fine to join at any time if there is a space #pilates #pilatesfordailylife #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforlife #pilatesforeverydaylife #pilatesforeveryage #pilatesincornwall #pilatescornwall
While our 4 x 10 packs have been won by 4 super clients, we now come to one more day before our 40 class pack winner is announced. Don’t forget to sign in tomorrow during your classes for 1 more chance to win the final Birthday month prize. Winner will be announced at about midday on Tuesday 1st November.

As you age, your body changes and so does your bodies reaction to movement and exercise. Your hormones will fluctuate in their operational levels and sometimes you will find that the hormone cortisol will work overtime when you are stressed and will put on more fat around your mid section. We do not support fad diets or disordered or restrictive eating or detoxes (this is what your liver is for) or insane exercise regimes to counter this. We support a consistent and long term application to your preferred muscle loading practice. The best way to counter stress and this shift is to build muscle and find a mindful movement practice that you are committed to. Reformer Pilates certainly contributes to both muscle building and stress relief. Any exercise or movement practice that loads into your muscles consistently (think strength training 2-3 times a week) and progressively (increase your spring loading a little more on a few exercises in every class or turn up to a Burn class once a week) will help you to keep your muscles strong. 📸 @kristyntaylorphotography
Planning for our early March 2023 retreat is underway. If you are keen to be put on the email list, please send through an email to [email protected] letting us know and we will keep you posted about specific details and updates. You can guarantee there will be lots of Pilates, wine, cheese and chocolate tasting, walks, massages and chilling with some lovely Pilates enthusiasts. Places will be strictly limited to 8. Tag your Pilates buddy here to let them know about this awesome getaway.
