PilatesCan ManukaExcellentPilatesCan Manuka5.0★★★★★ Based on 64 reviews fromSee all reviews review us onArielle B.Arielle B. ★★★★★ As a physiotherapist I have some insight into the pilates scene - the staff here are well trained and highly knowledgeable of anatomy and exercise prescription. The staff are able to tailor semi-private/private services to each individual based on how they present to each session as well as longer term conditions. I have been a client of PilatesCan for over 6 years and truly recommend their services. Over the years I have had sessions with most (if not all) their staff and have always been happy with the quality of service provided. They have over the years assisted with management of back pain, calf pain, thoracic/cervical stiffness and pain, global strengthening and joint mobility, and have been able to adjust programs to target bone density. 11/10 recommend.Me B.Me B. ★★★★★ Big gratitude to the wonderful team at Pilates Can Manuka for their expertise, attention to detail, dedication, empathy and good humour! Every class is a real delight and I am always looking forward to my next one.Katherine K.Katherine K. ★★★★★ I've been going to Pilates Can for over 15 years now, and they have helped me maintain and develop strength, flexibility, and mobility during and after pregnancy, injuries and illness. Doesn't matter whats going on with my body each week, they can modify the exercises to target the issue, or work around an injury. I always walk out feeling taller, stronger, and better. Can't recommend the personalised approach enough.Catherine G.Catherine G. ★★★★★ I have been going to PilatesCan in Manuka for over 15 years. Now in my late 70s, I am fit and strong and physically in excellent health. And its all due to the wonderful trainers at PilatesCan. I have my own program which is updated as needed and attend a small private session there twice a week with 3 others. Turn up with a sore hip or foot and they work on that before anything else. I can’t imagine facing the years ahead without the support I get from Claire and Kirrily and Jenny.Jenna L.Jenna L. ★★★★★ Fantastic service. Excellent for pre and postnatal conditioning. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.Jan H.Jan H. ★★★★★ Pilatescan is for me a professionally run studio by Claire and her trained team. I am of an older age group and the personal attention to my strength and flexibility is excellent. I am challenged to improve at my own speed in a safe and supervised way. I have been with them 8 years now.David R.David R. ★★★★★ It is fair to say that for my wife and myself, Pilates Can has been a truly life-changing force for good. My wife Alayne started Pilates fourteen years ago here in Canberra. After many years of back problems and countless visits to a physiotherapist, she started Pilates as a means of better understanding and managing her own condition. After trying several studios, she settled on Pilates Can in Manuka. The exceptional knowledge, training and expertise of the instructors enabled them to tailor the Pilates exercises to suit her specific needs, based on her condition, strengths and weaknesses. As a result, my wife has not had to visit a physio since. I joined Pilates Can seven years ago and have always received the same professional standard of personalised instruction. Each of the instructors has demonstrated their expertise to us, often recognising that we are suffering from a particular condition even before we have mentioned it, and adapting each lesson to suit. The administrative staff have looked after our bookings and payments with consummate professionalism. We cannot recommend Pilates Can highly enough to anyone seeking help to improve, maintain or regain their health and wellbeing.John M.John M. ★★★★★ I have attended Pilates Can Manuka for 8 years. The staff have a perfect knowledge of applying Pilates to the individual's specific needs, including the choice of machines. I cannot recommend highly enough.Reika C.Reika C. ★★★★★ Claire and her team of instructors are experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about Pilates. With the great help and joy that these instructors bring to every session, my muscular aches and pains have improved significantly over the years. I highly recommend trying out the sessions at Pilates Can.Sue A.Sue A. ★★★★★ The Pilates Can Manuka team are amazing. Claire, Kirrilly and Susan have been looking after me for over ten years. I always leave my sessions feeling better. The staff are professional and highly qualified and the benefit of individual and small group classes can't be overstated. The studio and equipment are top of the line and the atmosphere is very welcoming and good fun. I would recommend the mat classes and studio sessions to anyone who needs help with specific issues or just to keep the body moving. Thank you!Deborah D.Deborah D. ★★★★★ I have been attending a semi private class for several years now and can strongly recommend Pilates Can Manuka.The staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The exercises are tailored for me each week and are invaluable in keeping me moving and able to do the things I enjoy.The classes are social and enjoyable as well.Anna H.Anna H. ★★★★★ Pilates Can Manuka provide sessions tailored specifically to my needs. The instructors are highly trained, have many years of experience and have helped me to optimise my physical health in a way that I have never previously been able to achieve. I am so grateful for the expertise and guidance I have received, and I feel very comfortable attending classes. I wish I had made the decision to join years earlier; it has changed how my body feels, and how I feel about my body.Stephen S.Stephen S. ★★★★★ Mat work Pilates has been part of my weekly routine for more that 10 years. The instructors I have met at Pilates Can like David and Clayton and Claire have invariably been highly skilled and motivated people. The classes and general atmosphere are incredibly welcoming. As well as looking after my body and wellbeing I have made good friends there. The studio operates like a club where the culture is friendly and clients feel comfortable to chat with staff and with each other. I go to Pilates Can for general strength and fitness, and honestly because I enjoy the social interaction. My wife also went for a time to work specifically on a shoulder injury using reformers and other equipment and was very happy with improvement she was able to make with the assistance of Pilates Can’s experienced practitioners. I have no hesitation in recommending Pilates Can to friends.Kerry-Anne W.Kerry-Anne W. ★★★★★ I have been a client of Pilates Can for over eight years. Before joining PilatesCan I ‘tried” other Pilates studios and from those experiences I believe PilatesCan to be a superior studio where instructors apply the principles of Joseph Pilates encouraging clients to achieve optimum results physically and mentally. Clare (principal) and her team of qualified, experienced and positive instructors keep up-to-date with new and innovative practices of the Pilates methodology by attending regular workshops, conferences, and listening to relevant podcasts. Each client has an individually tailored exercised programme based on a thorough initial assessment of an individual’s mobility, strengths, stability and movement. Each programme is reviewed regularly and adapted to current needs. Pilates Can Manuka is a well equipped studio with a variety of “Pilates equipment” As a 70 year old client with multiple health issues I rely on the team at Pilates Can Manuka to “keep me moving and functional” as I navigate my “senior” years.sandralauffsandralauff ★★★★★ Claire and the staff at Pilates Can Manuka are the 'real deal' with regard to providing the knowledgeable guidance for Pilates exercise and body usage. Their capacity to understand the nuanced skeletal-muscular functioning of the body and hold a systemic approach to dealing with pain and disfunction is of an incredibly high standard. My body and its comfortable capacity for movement are testimony to their knowledge and skill. I recommend them strongly.Response from the ownerThank you, Sandra, for your thoughtful review. It is great to hear how much you value the movement therapy benefits of your Pilates sessions and the overall impact it has on your body. It is always terrific to get such high praise from someone like yourself, who has been such a legend in the specialist area of assisting people to minimise pain via strength, mobility, and mindfulness. We really appreciate your praise, Sandra. Kathy O.Kathy O. ★★★★★ I can not recommend PilatesCan highly enough. The sessions are limited to a small group of people which allows the instructors to personalise the exercises to your needs. This also allows the instructors to keep an eye on you while you are exercising and alter the exercise (or just how you are doing it) to make sure you get the most out of the session. I do not doubt that without the support of the team at PilatesCan I would not have recovered as well as I have from a recent injury.Response from the ownerThank you, Kathy, for your wonderful review. It has been a privilege to walk beside you on your rehabilitation journey. Your recovery is a testament to your dedication and perseverance to overcome the challenges. Jennie R.Jennie R. ★★★★★ A very positive experience. Friendly and helpful staff. Every confidence that they are well trained and on top of their game. Have been attending PilatesCan classes for a long time. It helps keep my body mobile. Highly recommend.Response from the ownerThank you, Jennie, for your delightful endorsement. We greatly appreciate your involvement with us and look forward to keeping your body moving for many more years. Georgia M.Georgia M. ★★★★★ Pilates Can instructors are knowledgeable and skilled. They took the extra time to discuss my program with my physio and genuinely care about the outcomes I want from pilates.Response from the ownerThanks, Georgia, for your thoughtful review. It is wonderful to see your progress and to liaise with your physio to develop the best care for you. Heather K.Heather K. ★★★★★ Pilates Can Manuka provides personalised attention to every participant, whether in a group mat class or semi-private class. The instructors are all highly trained but also very caring for individual needs. This individual attention is not found elsewhere. I attend weekly group mat classes, but the groups are small and every week are designed for personal needs. This also brings great variety to the exercises, every class is different and fun. Throughout the week there are classes at different levels and with different instructors, so classes to suit everyone and all abilities. All the instructors are wonderful and bring variety in their approaches to the classes. My classes are usually with Claire who is so experienced and understands so much about every individual's body and needs, always providing alternatives and special treatment for each person. Her enthusiasm and cheerfulness is a great way to start Saturday mornings, as well as feeling good after a pilates session. The team have done a fantastic job in providing hybrid sessions with in-person and on-line options, and even adapting exercises to suit equipment at home. This was one of the most innovative and successful solutions to covid lockdowns that I encountered, so successful that it is continuing and people can join on-line from anywhere. I certainly congratulate and recommend the team at Pilates Can and encourage others to try for themselves and feel the difference.Response from the ownerThank you so much, Heather, for your glowing review. It is extremely gratifying to hear the many reasons why you enjoy, and appreciate, our personalised approach to each session. It is our privilege to deliver specialised Pilates sessions to our clients and to see the benefits they can reap from being as dedicated as you have been Heather. Your smile and enthusiasm on Saturday mornings is encouraging to us all. Justin K.Justin K. ★★★★★ Fantastic team who really know everything there is to know about pilates. They take the time to learn about your needs (and aches and pains) and tailor programs to each individual. No one size fits all approach.Response from the ownerThanks, Justin, for taking the time to give us this lovely review. It is a pleasure to assist you to move more freely, without pain, at each session, so you can better enjoy your many activities, including your fishing, hockey, and not forgetting your home repair work. Katherine G.Katherine G. ★★★★★ The team at Pilates Can are fantastic. They have kept me moving for more than 10 years. Their dedication and care is second to none. And their expertise is amazing! Every session is different and depends on what my body needs that day!Response from the ownerThank you, Katherine, for your 5-star review. It is very rewarding for us to have partnered with you, for over 10 years of clinical Pilates semi-private sessions, to achieve your mobility and strength goals. Denise M.Denise M. ★★★★★ I would like to tell you about my association.with Pilates Can Manuka . Ifirst went along 13 years ago. I had had an accident and had tried a number of things to improve my mobility. Over time at Pilates Can Manuka , I found not only had my mobility improved, but an improvement in my emotional wellbeing.The facility is well equiped with all the equipment and the staff are very knowledgeable keeping up all the latest techniques, very friendly and inclusive. I always look forward to my visits, and I leave feeling the extra movement she has given me.If I had not gone to Pilates Can Manuka when I did, I would barely be moving around now. my medical team are often surprised at what I can still do with my medical conditions.Response from the ownerThank you, Denise, for your review and sharing your experiences. Your determination to overcome health challenges, plus the positivity and enthusiasm you bring to every session, is motivational. Cosgrove S.Cosgrove S. ★★★★★ Amazing Pilates studio! I have been going to PilatesCan for 6 years and they are nothing short of amazing. They can fix aches and pains, straighten bodies increase mobility and release tight and stressed shoulders. The staff are dedicated and lovely not to mention highly skilled in helping their clients. The personal attention in the semi private classes is amazing and the mat classes are paced to the group and ability level. If you want strength, muscle tone and mobility this is the place for you!Response from the ownerThanks, Cosgrove, for your enthusiastic review. It is exciting to hear how much you enjoy all the sessions, in tandem with the positive impact on your health and wellbeing. sarah T.sarah T. ★★★★★ I started my first class with Pilates Can fours years ago and wish that I had discovered Claire and her wonderful team of instructors sooner. They have helped me with my movement and I always feel fantastic walking out from the classes.Absolutely the best in town!Response from the ownerThanks, Sarah, for your tremendous review. It is fun to see you how you master new challenges and continue to build your strength and mobility. We are glad that you found us. Helen S.Helen S. ★★★★★ Claire and her team have made such a difference to my well being. I have never been very athletic or enjoyed formal exercise but I look forward to my 2 sessions every week. The instructors are experts and well trained so they have devised a programme suited to my age and physical abilities. As well, at each session they can change the programme to address any issues I might be having on that day. The atmosphere is welcoming, inclusive and fun.Response from the ownerThank you, Helen, for your delightful review. Your enthusiasm and positivity make such a difference in our sessions. It is a pleasure to assist you on your health and wellbeing journey so you can enjoy life even more. Jenny H.Jenny H. ★★★★★ Excellent professional staff who tailor my program for my needs, and they always check how our bodies are working(or not!) before commencing the session to see what needs working on.Response from the ownerThank you, Jenny, for your excellent review. We are very thankful to hear how much you enjoy your sessions. Clare S.Clare S. ★★★★★ I started attending classes at PilatesCan to help me with constant and severe neck, shoulder and upper back pain. I am so happy to say that I am now pain free!!After trying physio, remedial massage, and osteopathic services to no avail, I was desperate for a solution to the constant pain.After a private session, Claire (owner) developed a program for me which included attending semi-private session in the Pilates rehab studio once a week. Every week the session is tailored to my specific requirements and pain level, to ensure I move forward in my recovery and not backward.This is not a cookie cutter, one size fits all, one instructor for 15 people studio! It is a studio full of exceptionally talented Pilates practitioners. Their attention, guidance and support have lifted me out of constant pain and have given me my life back.Response from the ownerThank you, Clare, for such a moving review. Your commitment is awe-inspiring. It is a privilege to work with you to assist you on your journey to recovery, to move without pain, and continue to build your strength and mobility. Joanna D.Joanna D. ★★★★★ I have been attending semi-private Pilates classes at this wonderful studio for 5 years! A friend recommended Pilates Can to help me with ongoing hip and lower back pain and I haven’t looked back!! Any niggle I have had since joining is managed with utmost care and expertise in the body and how it should move. I can’t thank the brilliant instructors enough for fixing the bursitis I developed in both my shoulders, which cortisone injections failed to fix!! I continue to go to my class every week for body maintenance. It keeps me fit and strong and pain free! Thank you Pilates Can.Response from the ownerThank you, Jo, for your amazing review. You inspire us, as you are such a fun, lively person in our sessions. It is gratifying to see how much you can do now in your sessions and in all the activities you enjoy in life. Kate S.Kate S. ★★★★★ Great instructors that provide individual attention tailored to clients. I love that there’s only 4 clients per class.Response from the ownerThanks, Kate, for your 5-star review. Yes, having a maximum of 4 clients per instructor allows us to personalise everyone’s written program and individual sessions. It is wonderful to hear how much you enjoy and appreciate this extra effort we go to so that everyone can get the most out of their sessions. Jennifer H.Jennifer H. ★★★★★ I am forever grateful for the recommendation that brought me to Pilates Can and highly recommend this studio to anyone seeking a quality and individualised experience. As a person in their 60s with hypermobility issues I have often found that 'one size does not fit all' in terms of movement classes. Not the case with Pilates Can semi private sessions! Over the past 5 years I have consistently found the knowledge, expertise and care of Clare and her team at Pilates Can to be something I can rely on to address the needs of my body at any session I attend. Over the years [and with the interruption of major surgery] I have experienced a steady increase in strength, balance, stamina and posture all of which supports my overall health as I age. Thank you Pilates Can!Response from the ownerThank you, Jenny, for such a heartfelt review. You have made amazing changes over the years, achieved via your own continued dedication to your health and wellbeing. You have been a wonderful partner with us in this process, where you have proven what can be done. It is fantastic for us to have witnessed those incremental changes and to have been instrumental in assisting you with those. Catherine S.Catherine S. ★★★★★ Pilates Can are life savers. I have been seeing Claire and the team for 12 years and they’ve put me back together again a thousand times. This is the true Pilates experience, full of care and knowledge, and a genuine desire to have every single client feeling the best they can be. Whether you are a seasoned athlete, a pre or post natal mum or someone working their way back from injury, Pilates Can are the best.Response from the ownerThank you, Cat, for your magnificent review. You have captured the essence of exactly what we have worked so hard to build up over the last 25 years. It is a privilege and pleasure to assist you, and all our clients, to feel the best they can in, and after, every session. Paula I.Paula I. ★★★★★ I have been a client of Pilates Can Manuka for approximately 6 months. I wish I had discovered them earlier. I have benefitted greatly in mind and body from my time spent with the highly qualified, and caring instructors at Pilates Can Manuka. I have always felt confident that my safety and wellbeing was of paramount importance to the instructors when doing any of the activities that I have participated in. Pilates Can Manuka is a very professionally run organisation that has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and I always look forward to attending my sessions at their studio.Response from the ownerThank you, Paula, for your kind review. It is wonderful that you are experiencing so many benefits and that you enjoy your time in our studio. Yvonne P.Yvonne P. ★★★★★ Having experienced significant health and wellbeing outcomes from our small group, large equipment based Pilates in South Australia, we prioritised finding the right studio to continue our Pilates journey when we moved to Canberra nearly ten years ago, at the age of 70. There is an old saying, ‘The proof of the pudding is in the eating.’ You have to try the pudding to determine if it is any good. Similarly with Pilates. The proof of a pilates program is in the experience. We had high expectations. We had come to expect: an individualised program utilising all of the large equipment, (not just a room of reformers), a highly knowledgeable professional team with the flexibility to be able to modify and adapt a program when close observation and attention to the individual’s needs warranted. It took a few months to finally discover Claire and the team at PilatesCan. Our expectations have been surpassed through the exceptional programs developed for us. Whatever challenges we present : chronic arthritis, scoliosis, fractures associated with osteoporosis, preparation for and rehabilitation after bilateral knee surgery, rehabilitation after mini stroke, after effects of trips and falls, Claire and the team have proven their expertise and depth of clinical experience to provide individualised programs of the highest professional calibre for both of us since early in 2015. We look forward to our continuing association.Y & A PaullResponse from the ownerThank you, Yvonne, for your comprehensive review. It is our privilege/pleasure to assist you and Alwyn on your journey to stronger and more mobile bodies over the years. Your enthusiastic approach to your sessions and life is an inspiration to all of us. Julia B.Julia B. ★★★★★ Fantastic studio with highly qualified instructors, and individual attention in every class. Claire is very good at working out what your body needs, and helping you to address those needs/Response from the ownerThanks, Julia, for your edifying review. It is great to hear how each session makes such a difference to your body. mandy M.mandy M. ★★★★★ I started my Pilates journey with painful , stiff knees and a lack of mobility and flexibility . I have had programs expertly created for me by the PilatesCan instructors . I have been treated with great knowledge and care and have reached a stage where my pain has diminished enormously and my mobility and flexibility are great . I have also become strong through my whole body and feel empowered and confident in my mobility .Response from the ownerThank you, Mandy, for your inspiring review. It is a privilege to assist you with your recovery and with your continuing wellbeing. Peter H.Peter H. ★★★★★ PilatesCan is the real deal, no large classes with video instruction here. What you get is individual attention in small classes with an exercise regime suited to your needs. The staff are experts and able to assist you with any aches and pains. It is also ideal for rehab after illness or operations. I have been enjoying classes at the Manuka studio for more than seven years.Response from the ownerThank you, Peter, for your review and for sharing your experience. It is wonderful to hear how much you enjoy your sessions. It is pleasure to assist you and we look forward to seeing you soon. Patrya K.Patrya K. ★★★★★ The staff at Pilates Can Manuka assess and discuss my physical state at the beginning of each session and tailor my program on that day to meet my needs. This approach has enabled me to recover from a number of injuries, both recent and long-standing, as well as to improve my strength and balance significantly. As an over 70 year old I have found this approach has been a huge contribution to the quality of my life.Response from the ownerThank you, Patrya, for your thoughtful review. It is a pleasure to assist you with your health and wellbeing, so you can enjoy all the wonderful things you do in your life. Hadas Y.Hadas Y. ★★★★★ Best Pilates in Canberra, this studio has a unique approach to pilates and body movement, each person has its own personalised programme that changes based on our body on the day. I can come to a lesson and from the door the instructor will notice where I'm tight or what part of my body needs special attention. I don't think I will ever meet someone who is so professional and has so much pilates and body movement experience like Clair and the team, add to that a relaxing atmosphere and you get a perfect experience!Response from the ownerThank you, Hadas, for such a tremendous review. It is great to hear how much you enjoy your sessions at our studio. It is our pleasure to help you explore the best movement possible each time you see us. Robyn B.Robyn B. ★★★★★ Excellent facility with the best equipment and wonderful instructors. Each instructor can sometimes offer something a little different and their knowledge and expertise is exceptional. I have personally seen a huge difference in my strength and posture. The aches and pains of sitting behind a desk during my career have all disappeared thanks to Pilates. After every session I definitely walk out feeling better than when I walked in. My only regret is that I did not find PilatesCan many years ago.Response from the ownerThank you, Robyn, for such a glowing review. We all enjoy helping you achieve that ‘better feeling’ each session and we are very glad that you found us. Sally TSally T ★★★★★ I've been going to this pilates studio for more than 15 years and strongly recommend them. Highly trained, experienced and personable instructors, careful attention to your body's needs for any injury recovery, and great personalised programs to build strength & flexibility. They've supported me through pregnancy, through various injuries, and just generally to maintain my best level of physical capability. Over the years I've made use of the mat classes, the semi private studio sessions and the very occasional one-on-one session - all really good and I always leave with my body feeling better than when I walked in. Oh and the clients are fabulous too!Response from the ownerThank you, Sally, for your wonderful explanation of your experiences at our studio. It is a remarkable journey that we have been sharing with you over the years and we look forward to many more years together, with you and all our amazing clients. Tricia P.Tricia P. ★★★★★ I’ve been attending this studio for over 10 years. The instructors have a wealth of knowledge and experience which ensures you achieve the best outcome from their classes.The smaller group classes also means that you get individual attention not provided in a bigger group. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. 😍Response from the ownerThanks, Tricia, for your generous review. It has been a privilege to assist you over the years and to continue to help you achieve your goals. Beth H.Beth H. ★★★★★ Claire and her team have helped me so much over the years with lymphodema and breast cancer recovery. Each session is a personalised session depending on where I am up to and what is going on with my body. It is a truly tailor made experience.Response from the ownerThank you, Beth, for your heartfelt review. We are grateful to have the opportunity to assist you and to have a positive impact on your recovery and health. Maureen F.Maureen F. ★★★★★ I have been a client of CanPilates for some years. I started attending weekly classes to aid in my recovery post-op. I have never felt better! The team has supported me in a professional and supportive manner to not only recover but improve my overall health. Thank you all.Response from the ownerThank you, Maureen, for your uplifting review. It is splendid to hear how effectively Pilates helped you with your rehabilitation and that it is keeping your body moving better, to do all those wonderful things that you do. Julia Freeman (The F.Julia Freeman (The F. ★★★★★ I attend a semi-private session every Saturday morning with Clare Gunther, Trudi and the team. The sessions are fantastic - you get a good workout tailored to addressing your body’s issues in a friendly and positive environment, where everyone feels included. I love it because it troubleshoots problem areas and I feel great by the end. I’ve done Pilates at a few places and this is by far the best. Lots of class options too.Response from the ownerThank you, Julia, for your charming review. We enjoy helping you with achieving your goals and addressing the various mobility issues as needed. CW C.CW C. ★★★★★ I have been attending mat classes since 2018. So lucky to find a lovely welcoming pilates studio where you are more important than what you wear and age is ignored. The instructors are friendly and offer a variety of routines so you can find what suits you. I have definitely improved my posture and core fitness and strengthened areas of weakness, including improving my walking style, balance, and flexibility. All very important at my age. Before starting pilates I was spending a fortune on physio and osteo. Now I spend less, and get fit and enjoy social connections as well.Response from the ownerThanks so much for your review CW CW. It is wonderful that you enjoy your sessions and that you are achieving so many benefits. Margie M.Margie M. ★★★★★ I can’t recommend PilatesCan highly enough. It’s been truly transformational for me, initially for rehab of a complex injury, then in working on improving functionality and strength. PilatesCan was recommended to me by a physio, and the stable team of instructors is extremely knowledgeable, personalising each exercise to my needs.Response from the ownerThank you, Margie, for your wonderful review. We love being there and providing guidance for you on your personal Pilates journey, building your strength. John S.John S. ★★★★★ Claire and the team at Pilates Can are amazing. My wife and i have been going to them every week for the last couple of years. The studio is lovely and the sessions are personalised to our bodies needs and you get to work on those things that need it. It’s also a fun atmosphere and loads of flexibility around class times. We love every session and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.Response from the ownerThank you, John, for your marvelous review. We enjoy teaching and challenging you both, in our social but also productive semi-private sessions. Willhelmena C.Willhelmena C. ★★★★★ Pilates Can, can and does! I’ve attended weekly mat sessions since 2011. Classes are conducted by reliable and experienced trainers. The sessions have small group numbers so each participant is monitored whether attending in-person or remotely. At the start of each session attendees are invited to raise any issues they have. The focus of the session is then adapted, if necessary, to address issues identified by participants. It is an understatement to say I am a fan. My ongoing mobility, flexibility and core strength are a testament to Pilates Can and Claire in particular - although all instructors who have substituted for Claire when she is on leave etc have been terrific. If you have tried Pilates elsewhere but it didn’t ‘do it’ for you, I urge you to give Pilates Can a trial run. In my experience, when taught well pilates is a fantastic adjunct to any fitness program or a stand-alone effective form of exercise. Pilates Can does it very well!Response from the ownerThank you, Willy, for your amazing review. Your enthusiasm in our small group mat Pilates sessions has a positive impact on us all, even though you mostly beam in online these days. Melissa P.Melissa P. ★★★★★ The PilatesCan team offer overall body movement wellbeing. Adapting to client individual needs and providing a personalised approach in a boutique studio offers a genuine 1 on 1 experience. The knowledge and expertise of the team is to be commended and providing options for a home workout or when you are on the road is very much appreciated. Thank you.Response from the ownerThank you, Melissa, for your thoughtful review. It is a privilege to explore the most appropriate exercises for you and with you. Diana K.Diana K. ★★★★★ Pilates Can takes clinical pilates to the next level. The instructors are extremely experienced and body aware. They make any necessary adjustments to your core program each week to address any tightness or pain your body is presenting. The Studio is a serene place to build strength without strain. I love it!Response from the ownerDiana, thanks so much for your lovely review and for understanding exactly what we are all about at Pilates Can. Susan R.Susan R. ★★★★★ I've finally found a workout routine that works for me and my lifestyleElizabethElizabeth ★★★★★ I find PilatesCan sessions to be a balm not just for the body, but also for the mind.

Steve S.Steve S. ★★★★★ Very friendly and welcoming. Also, the instructors seem to be very experienced.Yvonne P.Yvonne P. ★★★★★ Having experienced the benefits of equipment based pilates in South Australia we were delighted to discover Pilates Can, Woden when we moved to Canberra three years ago. Since joining a semi private group, Claire has provided an exceptional programme for both of us (now in our 70’s.) Whatever challenge we present : scoliosis, arthritis, fractures associated with osteoporosis or preparation for knee surgery, Claire has the expertise and depth of experience to provide individualised programmes of the highest professional caliber.

Testimonials

I love the way Pilates focuses on every muscle and forces me to slow down and pay attention to every exercise. It has built my body awareness and core strength and has assisted me to become much better at all other forms of exercise such as running.  The teachers are relaxed and enthusiastic and I always feel as though they are focusing on my individual needs and pushing me to achieve a little bit more at each session.

The trainers were enthusiastic and encouraging and spoke to me about my goals and how to achieve them. They offered support and advice on nutrition as well as the physical aspect of the training sessions. Before I knew it I was losing weight, getting fitter and really looking forward to each session. I’ve been coming to small group training sessions for seven months now, and I feel great.

They nudged but never nagged. They know that body health is linked to emotional wellbeing and that motivation needs to be encouraged not bullied out of people. They have been consistent supports when I have been fit, had minor injuries or long-term physical adjustments that needed to be made. I see them as a long-term partner in my physical and emotional health: flexible, reliable, accepting and highly professional
