Not all Pilates is created equal. Some classes are highly clinical and feel more like rehabilitation. Others are packed with people, fast-paced and leave you guessing if you are doing things correctly.
At Leap Healthcare in Mount Waverley, we have created a space that gives you the best of both worlds. Our small class Reformer Pilates combines the safety and knowledge of physiotherapy with the energy and results of modern Pilates. It is guided, personal and made to fit you.
A personalised approach to movement
Our small class Reformer Pilates in Mount Waverley is designed for people who want to move well, feel strong and gain lasting results. With a maximum of four participants in each session, you receive the attention and support that bigger studios often miss.
Every class focuses on:
Learning proper technique and form
Adapting exercises to suit your ability and comfort level
Progressing at your own pace
Building strength and control for long-term movement health
This approach means you can train safely, improve your posture, and gain confidence knowing your instructor is always watching your form.
Why small class Reformer Pilates works
When classes are smaller, your instructor can focus on how you move, not just what you do. It allows for real coaching and feedback, which helps prevent injury and ensures you get the most out of every session.
Our clients often tell us they finally understand why they are doing each exercise and can feel their body working in the right way. It is a simple formula that produces real results: proper technique, consistent practice and personal guidance.
The Leap difference
At Leap Healthcare, Reformer Pilates is not a generic fitness class. It is part of a complete movement approach supported by our physiotherapists.
Our team works together to make sure your training is effective, safe and aligned with your personal goals. Whether you are recovering from injury, managing ongoing stiffness or just looking to move better, our small class Reformer Pilates is designed to help you build strength that lasts.
We focus on:
Form and body control to reduce pain and prevent injury
Core and postural strength to improve balance and confidence
Functional movement that supports daily activities
Gradual progression that challenges you safely
Who it is for
Our Reformer Pilates classes are perfect for:
People recovering from injury who have completed physiotherapy
Anyone who feels overlooked or rushed in large studio classes
Office workers wanting to improve posture and reduce tension
Runners and active adults wanting stronger, more stable movement
Anyone looking for a calm, focused environment to train in
Every participant receives guidance and encouragement to work at their own level.
What to expect
Before starting, you will have a one-on-one introduction to assess your goals, movement and comfort level. This helps us create the right plan for your body.
Each 45-minute session includes a mix of strength, flexibility and stability training using the Reformer. Movements are low impact, controlled and adaptable for all levels. You will leave each class feeling stronger, more balanced and aware of how your body moves.
Why local Pilates care matters
Being based in Mount Waverley means our instructors and physiotherapists understand the needs of our community. Many of our clients start with physiotherapy and continue with Pilates to maintain their progress and stay active.
Small class Reformer Pilates allows us to provide consistent, personalised care under one roof so you can keep improving long after your treatment ends.
