A space to breathe, connect & move with intention.

Our studio is designed to be more than a place to work out. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a calm, luxurious space where you can switch off, move well and make time for yourself.

Our reformer Pilates classes are led by highly trained teachers who combine thoughtful movement with challenge and progression. We focus on building strength, improving mobility and creating a deeper connection between body and mind.

At A81 Studio, we believe that Pilates is not just about how you move, it’s about how you feel.

Take an hour for yourself. Breathe, move and leave feeling stronger, more connected and restored.

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • First off, the studio is absolutely stunning - such a beautiful, calming space that puts you at ease as soon as you walk in the door. Each of the instructors offer something unique and with a mix of classes you can go at your own pace and learn a new style of exercise, and honestly I'm hooked. Since the studio opened I've been consistent with classes, which is a first for me, and I can really feel the difference. The only regret you might have going, is that you won't want to leave! Very lucky to have this quality of studio in our small town.

  • It was my first time at Pilates and it was such a lovely experience! Andrea was so informative and felt so comfortable! Definitely will be back!

    — Thomas

  • A81 is a fantastic reformer studio with excellent teachers. I have had classes with almost all of the teachers now, and each of them are equally as brilliant as each other. They have adapted each class I’ve attended to suit me throughout my pregnancy and I’ve found that the exercises have not only helped me to maintain a lot of my strength and fitness but also eased any discomfort in my body. It’s something I really look forward to every week!

The classes are brilliant and there’s a good variety to choose from depending on your level or even just how you are feeling.
