Pilates Brisbane

Pilates has become a mainstream exercise class in Brisbane in the last few years with several businesses opening more than one exercise centre. Prices seem to range considerably as well as the qualification of the teacher so we have put together a price comparison of what the main practitioners offer to casual and regular clients.

Pilates has long been touted as a great way to strengthen your body’s core, a swiss ball is the main piece of equipment used and class sizes can have a large bearing on the quality of teaching you are receiving as performing the exercises with a good technique is vital to get the best out of the class as well as avoid putting strain on areas that should not be under stress. So like most things in life there is a trade off between price and quality if you are a beginner.

Benefits of Pilates seem to be well worth the investment as the genre has gained a very loyal following with feedback along the lines that it has vastly improved some people’s lives through increased flexibility, co-ordination and strength. We have listed below the main current operators in the City and their offerings, so why not give it a go.

One on one sessions range between $90 on a casual basis to $80 for 10 sessions.

Their prices are considerably cheaper than The Body Refinery’s though the maximum class size of 12 reflects the individual attention that you will receive.
