Launceston's fitness scene is about to get a whole lot more flexible. The city's first 24-hour Pilates studio, Reformed 24/7 Pilates, is set to open its doors, offering a unique and innovative approach to fitness.
The brainchild of entrepreneurs Natasha Kerrison and Katrina Saunders, this studio is a response to the frustration of finding available Pilates classes. The idea came to life over a glass of wine, as Kerrison explains, and it's now set to revolutionize the way Launcestoners approach their workouts.
A Studio Like No Other
Reformed 24/7 Pilates is all about flexibility and choice. Located at 2B Penquite Road, Newstead, the studio will offer 24-hour access to members, breaking free from the constraints of traditional class schedules. With a focus on individual needs, the studio will feature six reformer machines, each equipped with digital kiosks.
These kiosks provide users with a range of pre-recorded instructional videos, allowing them to tailor their workouts to their own fitness goals and preferences. Whether you're a seasoned Pilates enthusiast or a beginner, you can choose the intensity and style of your session, making it a truly personalized experience.
A Relaxing, Private Space
The studio's interior design is a key feature, with jewel tones and soft lighting creating a calming atmosphere. This deliberate choice was made to counteract the often brightly lit environments of traditional Pilates studios. Kerrison emphasizes the privacy of the space, noting that the small studio size and the use of headphones by individuals will minimize any feelings of self-consciousness.
The impact of the studio on the surrounding area will also be minimal. With little noise or light emanating from the studio, it will blend seamlessly into the neighborhood, ensuring a peaceful environment for both residents and the studio's members.
Affordable Fitness
Cost is another aspect where Reformed 24/7 Pilates stands out. The studio offers founding memberships at an affordable $40 per week, providing unlimited access to the Newstead studio and any future locations the team may open. This pricing strategy ensures that fitness is accessible to a wide range of individuals, considering the rising cost of living.
Additionally, lower-cost memberships with capped entries per week are available, catering to those who may prefer more controlled access.
Opening Soon
The studio is set to open its doors in mid-August, pending council approvals. This highly anticipated addition to Launceston's fitness landscape promises to bring a new level of convenience, flexibility, and affordability to Pilates enthusiasts in the area.
In my opinion, this studio is a game-changer for Launceston's fitness scene. It addresses the need for accessibility and personalization, offering a unique experience that caters to a wide range of fitness levels and preferences. With its focus on flexibility and choice, Reformed 24/7 Pilates is poised to become a popular destination for those seeking a more tailored approach to their wellness journey.
