Whether you’re into pilates, yoga, or something with high intensity, we’ve put together an edit of our favourite wellness studios that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are performance driven. And if you’re not located in one of their locations, we’ve also included our favourite online classes as well that meet the brief.

Fluidform at Home
Where: Online
What: Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates, Barre, Pre and Post Natal Pilates

Before we were all forced to workout at home, Kirsten King realised that not everyone was able to make it into one of her two pilates studios in Sydney. Because of travel schedules, work schedules, or being home with young children, Kirsten knew she had a clientele that would thrive with an at home option. With beautifully produced videos filmed in her studios, Kirsten guides you through several classes and variations. With an at home kit sent out when you sign up, all you need to do is roll out your mat and your laptop and you’re ready to feel the burn.
