If you keep putting off "starting again"…

Ask yourself what feeling like this every day is already costing you.

Your energy. Your patience. Your confidence. The things you've stopped saying yes to because your body doesn't feel up to it.

Waiting for the "right time" is costing you more than you think. The right time is the one you choose.

If this hit home, this is your sign. Your reformer at Encore is waiting. Book your first class through the link in bio.

How well do you want to move at 90?

Rotation is one of the first things we see get hard for people once they hit 50. Turning to check your blind spot. Reaching into the back seat for your bag.

It gets harder, so we stop doing it. Then it gets harder again.

Our bodies are designed to rotate. The more we practise it, the better we move.

That’s exactly why we added Wall Tower classes to the studio. There’s a heck of a lot of rotation in them, and you work at the level your body is at today.

If you’re already noticing it’s tough to twist and turn, these classes are for you.

Book into our 21 days of classes and try Tower, reformer and mat. We’ve got the whole shebang!

What do you want to still be doing at 90?

There's a version of "fit" that looks amazing on Instagram…

But costs you your joints, your sleep and your sanity.

Real fitness after 40 looks different. It's moving without pain. Sleeping through the night. Having energy left for the people (and the things) you love.

It might not look as flashy in a photo. But it feels a whole lot better to live in.

If you're over the highlight-reel version of fitness, this is your sign. Encore is where real people build real strength. Link in bio to book.

Ever wondered what the difference is between reformer, tower and mat?

Most studios only offer reformer, and you're missing out. Pilates was designed as a whole system, with each piece of equipment doing a different job.

Reformer gives you support and a big base to start from. That's where every new client begins.

Tower gets you standing, working on balance and coordination for the way you move every day. We're the only studio in Darwin that offers it.

Mat asks you to use your own strength, with release work and props to help you feel what's happening.

Together they help you move better and understand your own body.

Our classes are small, with a maximum of 12 people and only 10 in Tower, and we check in with you every session.

Which one haven't you tried yet?

‘I need to strengthen my core.’

We hear it all the time. My first question back is: what makes you think it isn’t working?

Can you hold your bladder when you need to? Is your back sore all the time? If the answer is yes to the first and no to the second, your core is probably doing its job.

A lot of people link core strength to losing weight around the middle. They’re two different things. Core strength is about how well your deep core supports you through everything you do.

It’s working right now, while you read this. Every time you laugh, cough or sneeze, your deep core responds. It does the same every time you bend down to pick something up or squat.

That’s why the first thing we teach is how to breathe well. Then we get your whole body moving through deep squats, hip movement and rotation, all things that help your core work the way it’s designed to.

And if you’re holding your breath and turning blue in class? That’s a sign we need to switch some tension off, not add more crunches.

So next time you think your core is weak, ask yourself: is it weak, or is it just not being asked to move well?

On paper, your recovery should look a certain way.

A back injury takes this long. A knee rehab follows that plan. But your body hasn’t read the textbook, and neither has your life.

Your pathway depends on how you move every day, what your body has been through and how much you’re ready to commit to change. That’s why we’ll never promise you a timeline. What we will do is ask the right questions, show you what we see in your body and help you understand it, so you’re the one in control.

That’s what our Clinical Pilates Pathway is built on.

You start with a one-on-one assessment with a clinical Pilates therapist. Then you have 5 semi-private sessions with no more than 4 people in the room.

Every session is built for you, every time you walk in. If your hip is cranky on Tuesday, we work with your hip on Tuesday. If you’ve had a great week, we take you further. Your program changes because you do.

Book your assessment and start moving toward your own goals, not toward someone else’s expectations of how your recovery should go.

Comment MOVE and we’ll reach out to you.

I was told I’d have to learn to live the life of a disabled person.

I was in my twenties. My back hurt every single day. I’d tried the chiro, the physio and the gym. I even became a gym instructor and a swimming instructor, because getting stronger was what everyone told me would fix it. None of it worked.

Then on a last-ditch trip to America I walked into a Pilates class. Nothing changed overnight. But for the first time someone asked me to notice my body instead of fighting it.

Twenty years later I’m 50. I waterski most weekends (yes, in Darwin), I ride my bike, I surf and I go snowboarding in Japan every year. My body is better now than it was at 25.

I’m not telling you this to show off. I’m telling you because it’s the story we hear every week in the studio. Someone’s been told there’s nothing more to be done, and they’ve started making their life smaller to fit around the pain.

Your body isn’t broken. You just haven’t found what it needs yet.

It’s never too late to start. What would you do with your life if pain wasn’t calling the shots?

If you’re looking for a diagnosis go see your physio first.

Hip bursitis is one of the most common things we see in clients over 50. A lot of the time it travels with its sidekick, gluteal tendinopathy. That’s irritation of the tendons on the outside of your hip.

Here’s the tricky part. Plenty of people come to us sure it’s their lower back. The ache sits in the buttock, the side of the hip or down the outside of the thigh, so it’s easy to blame your back. Sometimes it’s your back. Often it’s your hip asking for help.

You might notice:

• Pain lying on that side at night
• Aching when you stand up after sitting
• Stairs, hills or standing on one leg making it worse
• Tenderness when you press on the outside of your hip

It’s linked to hormonal change, losing strength around the hip and the way we load our bodies day after day. Pushing through it doesn’t help. Resting it forever doesn’t either.

This is what we do in clinic. We find out what’s going on, take the pressure off the joint and build strength where you need it. Then you can walk, sleep and get through your day without that ache.

Our Clinical Pilates Pathway starts with an assessment, then 5 semi-private sessions with a clinical Pilates therapist.

Are you going to keep blaming your back, or find out what’s going on?

If you have new or severe pain, see your GP or physio first.

Yes and No

Here’s your most common questions answered in 30 seconds

Did you know the reformer is just one piece of apparatus in a Pilates studio?

It’s taken off, and I love it. But Pilates was designed as a whole system, and the reformer is only part of it.

At Encore we use all of it. The reformer, the wall tower, the springboard and the mat. Each piece of equipment meets you where you’re at.

Some days we add a spring to help you, some days we take one off. As you get stronger, we change the load so your body keeps learning.

That’s why our classes are small. You move in your own way, with your own needs, and we want to see that and teach you how Pilates fits your body.

So which piece of equipment haven’t you tried yet?
