Pilates classes are a great way to stretch and strengthen your body, while exercising a range of muscles to leave you feeling rejuvenated. At On Pointe Studio, we offer Mat Pilates, where your core muscles are worked and your body is utilised as the main piece of equipment.\u00a0We teach using the BASI Pilates\u00ae philosophies, with an emphasis on excellence, high standards and hard work.<\/span><\/p> If you\u2019re new to Pilates, this is the place to start. As the name implies, mat Pilates involves just you and your mat.
