Hello, We are so glad you have found us! We would love to give you a little run down on what we do here. We are a boutique Reformer Pilates studio offering small group and private classes to our amazing community. Our classes have a modern twist on Reformer Pilates bringing the best of both worlds. Combining original Reformer Pilates principles with the latest exercise techniques to ensure that you get the most out of your movement. In our classes we focus on building and maintaining strength, mobility, flexibility and balance. Common Ground has style and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Whether you are joining us in a private or group class, we will meet you where you are at, all levels, ages and stages. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!
We have four values that underpin the way we move with you and how we create the atmosphere of Common Ground.
CONNECTION ~ EMPOWERING MOVEMENT ~ GOOD VIBES ~ GROWTH
It’s a feeling. The biggest feedback that we get from our members is that they love the way Common Ground makes them feel. It’s not just about how you enjoy your movement with us, but about the warmth of the studio and what we like to call the ‘vibe’. At Common Ground we meet you where you are at, on your best days, your worst days and somewhere in between. By choosing to move with us you are joining a community of like minded people who are connected through their love of Reformer. You will have found your Common Ground.
Everyone is on their own journey and we enable you to grow with us by providing you with empowering ways of moving that will leave you feeling fantastic. We steer clear of toxic trends in the fitness industry and aim to keep things positive about movement. We move with the times. Our aim is to grow and evolve along with the ever-changing Pilates world. Reformer Pilates is a type of movement that makes you feel good, work hard and develop a deeper connection to your body. We think of Pilates as a ‘practice’, it’s not something that you simply master, and the better you get the harder it is. We empower you to take layers and variations that suit you on the day. This is because some days we feel like moving mountains and others we just want to move.
Our Journey
Let us tell you a little story. We met in 2005 in our first year of high school. What began as a friendship evolved into a shared journey at university, a move to Australia and eventually returning to our hometown. With a shared passion for Reformer Pilates the idea for our studio was born. Eager from our international Pilates qualifications and packed with the naivety you need to open a business we were rearing to go! We knew we wanted to create a unique space that is welcoming, warm, inclusive and FUN, somewhere that people can find their ‘common ground’ and so our studio came to life. Fast Forward to now, what we love about our space is that it's a hub of connection. Somewhere that you might bump into your hairdresser, your dad’s bestie, your barista or your grandma! We welcome all walks of life to Common Ground.
We see ourselves as forever learners and continue to upskill as a team. We love what we do and we hope you do too.
With love,
The founders, Jess and Kate
