The PP Point of Difference

Proper Pilates is a full service studio where we treat each client individually. The PP team has a combined 60 years working in professional movement and training, have degree level qualifications in Physiology studies, Dance, and Education, and is one of only 3 training institutions in Australia led by a 2nd Generation Pilates teacher- meaning you’re taught by someone who learnt from the original creator of the Pilates method.

Our work spans the gamut from rehabilitation and clinical support to exercise for athletes, sports enthusiasts and movement professionals. As a client you’ll have access to the best equipped Pilates studio in the Macedon Ranges, offering a suite of equipment not available elsewhere, ensuring there is a tool that meets your needs and no waiting for a piece to become available during sessions.

This is Proper Pilates…



Some of the wonderful ways PP is helping our clients…

Clinical Pilates

PP staff are highly educated, trained and experienced in supporting specific rehabilitative needs, but, crucially, have the skills and experience to nurture you towards a more physical self. Our team all have tertiary Physiology qualifications, and experience in clinical care. Because we are a dedicated Pilates studio, you can feel free to seek the specific or varied allied treatment that you’re after, and know that the work we do can support your treatment plans and take you forward. Importantly, too often people seeking clinical care don’t land in environments that take them further than their pain or condition. PP is proud to be able to assist you as you recover, then over time, show you opportunities in your body you didn’t know were possible.

New Mums

PP has revolutionised training for new Mums. Instead of having to pack up and leave the house to get to a limited class offering, we will develop a program with you for home and provide you with a small equipment kit, enabling you to join either private or Open Studio sessions online from your own home. This makes it so much easier to get back into gentle re-conditioning, without the stress of leaving the house with a new born or having to find a carer, while still providing important oversight to ensure you are exercising safely, gently, and progressively. It also means you can book into times that work for you, instead of a class that might not fit you or your child’s schedule. Then, when you’re ready and able to come back to the studio, we’ll be there for you.

Frequent Travelers

Instead of losing value put into class packs or memberships you won’t use, we’ll establish a training program that is flexible so you can do it anywhere. We can even organise a travel kit of small Pilates equipment you can take with you, ensuring you stay on track with your wellbeing goals. You’re also able to join into lessons casually from afar through our online portal, meaning you’re never alone, even in your hotel room on the other side of the globe.

Pilates for Athletes and Arts Professionals

The team at Proper Pilates know what it takes to work, stay competitive and healthy at the top of the professional arts and athletic industries. Our team are all former dance professionals with tertiary qualifications in Physiology, Kinesiology, Teaching and Safe Practice from Australia’s two leading universities. We understand completely what it takes to manage well being in the ultra-intense professional world. PP works with professionals occupied in high risk, physically demanding roles, to assist them to maintain physical well-being through flexible training solutions that can be attended to in-studio or employed by teams or individuals off site.

Pilates Teachers

Proper Pilates is the only institution in Australasia led by a 2nd Generation teacher who has studied, trained with and been certified by Pilates Elder Jay Grimes, who worked for and trained with Joseph Pilates at the original Contrology studio in NYC. Through our rigorous Mentorship Program, Business Coaching opportunities, and Training Workshops we are supporting teachers from all over Australia in their personal and professional growth, expanding knowledge of the original Contrology system, and passing forward these vital memories and experiences.
