What a week of classes looks like
Reformer classes are the core of the studio. The sessions include Reformer Flow, Reformer Align and Introduction to Reformer, along with Bones and balance and Stretch and Release. Most classes are 50 minutes long, with a smaller number running for an hour. Nearly every class is labeled as Pilates, and nearly all focus on the core and pelvic floor.
The studio's week leans toward the start of the day. More than half of the classes run in the morning, and about a fifth begin before 9am. Mornings from 8am to 10am are the busiest times, with the afternoon start at 4pm also drawing many people. Evening classes are fewer, and the latest class begins at 6pm.
Who leads and how to start
Lifeworks Pilates has about ten facilitators, and the studio is small enough that the same faces are often in the room. Letori Bond, Leah Aggebrink-Jones and Raena Hartley lead many of the classes, along with FIONA Duncan, Nofar Bar, Alicia Hampton, Meg Giudes and Kellie Coates.
No class pass is needed to book, and the studio is at 10 Endeavour Close in Ballina.
