Did you know that each petal of our lotus flower logo represents one of our values? Those three words; community, belonging and fun are what we stand for and who we are as a studio, a business and a collective. It’s our why.

Seated Pilates - Mondays 12:30 - 1:10 PM. Ever been curious about trying a seated class? Here’s Sophie (sped up to 10x speed!!) demonstrating some of the foundational movements you’d expect to see and do in our seated Pilates class. Special shout out to the Robo-Vacuum who popped into the video to say hi a few times 😉

Apologies to anyone who has tried to book in for our VERY FIRST Seated Pilates class at 12:30pm Monday (tomorrow) and has been told they need to met the 'pre-requisites'. I've now removed this feature so you can book directly in either via the Mindbody app on your phone or via our website (www.thestudiotrentham.com) ... or just hit think link, login or sign up to Mindbody and follow the booking process.

If it is popular, we will continue to offer it during the school holidays. There are only 8 spots per class to ensure we can offer targeted support throughout the class, so you must book ahead of time.

What to expect from our 40min Seated Pilates Class:
Seated Pilates suits those who prefer a safer, more grounded class without needing to come down to the floor or stand for long periods of time. Using original Pilates apparatus; the Reformer, Wundachair, Ladder Barrel, Cadillac and in some cases a yoga chair to perform seated pilates movements. We take from the original Joseph Pilates Contrology repertoire, classical, and some contemporary pilates movements to create a class that is safe and suitable for all levels, including those with any movement restrictions or injuries.

So excited to be able to bring you more of the original Pilates (Contrology Method) apparatus at The Studio Trentham! We now have an expanded selection of Joseph Pilates Equipment. I have listed them below and described what each of the different apparatus do. If you would like to use this equipment, you can book a 1:1 with the team members that are trained in the additional apparatus (DM us for more information), or you can join Liv's Wednesday 7:15am class, or if you are already familiar with the equipment, you can book a 'Pilates on Demand' appointment as there are plenty of videos on the kiosks to choose from using the additional equipment.

Each piece of equipment from the Original Pilates Repertoire brings something unique to our classical pilates classes:

• The Mat: The foundation of the entire Contrology (pilates) method. It uses purely your own body weight (and small props like a ring or ball) to develop core endurance, alignment, and control without any mechanical help.
• The Reformer: A sliding carriage on a frame with adjustable spring resistance. It provides dynamic feedback, builds leg and core strength, and helps connect your arms and upper back to your centre.
• The Cadillac (Trapeze Table): A large, high, stationary metal-and-cushioned canopy frame with push-through bars, trapeze, and hanging springs. It is famous for gentle spinal decompression, safe inversions, and deep stretching or rehab support.
• The Wunda Chair: A compact wooden box with spring-loaded foot/hand pedals. It challenges unilateral (single-side) strength, deep stability, and upright balance.
• The Ladder Barrel: A smooth barrel paired with vertical wooden rungs. It stretches the hips and hamstrings while demanding deep abdominal control during sweeping back extensions.
• The Spine Corrector (Small Barrel/Arc): A smaller, arched wooden-and-foam piece designed to cradle the back. It targets thoracic (mid-back) mobility, shoulder opening, and deep abdominal articulation.

For more information on the full pilates equipment list please speak to our team. There are other apparatus in the Pilates Contrology method aside from what is available in the studio, and we will work on bringing the full set in over time.

What’s your secret? Do you turn a Pilates class into a “meeting” in your calendars?!
