Your Questions, Answered
Is this right for me?
Good news — you don’t have to.
We built The Pilates Klinik for real lives, not perfect ones. There are no lock-in contracts, ever. Every membership includes a Life Happens pass so you can miss a booked class and make it up later in the month, and you can freeze your membership for up to two months a year for holidays, work or illness without charge.
Not ready for a set weekly rhythm at all? Take a 10-pack of classes with a 6-month expiry and come in whenever it suits you. With 50+ classes a week, there’s almost always a time that fits.
Most people worried about time are really worried about wasting money on something they’ll fall off. We’ve removed that risk. You commit to showing up — we make it easy to keep showing up.
→ Start with an intro assessment and we’ll build a schedule around your week, not the other way around.
You don’t need to be — that’s the entire point.
This is the single most common thing we hear, and it’s backed to front. You don’t get fit and then do Pilates; Pilates is how you get there. And the reformer is genuinely the kinder place to begin than a mat: the springs support and guide your body through each movement, so you’re working with the machine, not fighting gravity on the floor.
“Not flexible” isn’t a reason to stay away — it’s the reason to come. Flexibility is an outcome here, not an entry requirement.
→ Every single member started exactly where you are. Book your intro session and we’ll meet your body where it is today.
No — because we don’t throw anyone in cold.
Every new client starts with a private one-on-one intro assessment before joining a class, so you’ll already know the machine, the moves and what to expect. Our classes are small and capped, our instructors correct and guide you the whole way through, and everyone in that room was once the new person too.
There’s no back row to hide in and no front row to fall behind in. Just your body, your pace, and someone watching to keep you safe.
→ Book your intro assessment — the first step is private, unhurried and completely judgment-free.
Especially for you.
Some of our most dedicated members are in their 50s, 60s and beyond, and we run a dedicated program built for exactly this. We’re not here to smash you into exhaustion — we’re here to help you move with more ease, build real strength, and feel younger doing it. Movement quality over ego, always.
→ Take a look at our Over-50s classes, or just come in for an assessment and we’ll point you the right way.
What if I have an injury or health condition?
This is what we do best.
We’ve specialised in complex movement histories — injuries, chronic pain, post-surgery recovery, years of not moving enough — since 2016. Because the reformer’s resistance is fully adjustable, we can dial everything to what your body can safely manage on the day. For many people, Pilates is the best form of exercise and rehab precisely because there’s something to work around.
Your intro assessment is where we map your strengths, limits and no-go zones before you ever step into a class. Nothing gets guessed.
→ Book an assessment and let’s build a plan around your body. Remedial massage (with HICAPS rebates) is available too if you need hands-on support alongside it.
Yes, and it’s one of the best things you can do.
All our instructors are trained in the modifications needed at every stage of pregnancy and recovery, and we use raised reformers for comfort. We also look after our expecting members with a special policy — no two-week cancellation rule, and we hold your unused sessions until you’re ready to return.
→ See our Pre & Post Natal Pilates page, or message us and we’ll talk you through it.
What actually happens when I start?
With one private session, not a leap of faith.
Everyone begins with an Introduction & Assessment — a relaxed one-on-one where we introduce you to the reformer, walk you through the core movements, and assess your strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. By the end you’ll know exactly which classes suit you and what to do next. No confusion, no being dropped in the deep end.
Two to three times a week is the sweet spot for most people, and many notice real changes within a few weeks. Pilates is a re-education of how your body moves, so consistency beats intensity every time — that’s why our whole membership model is built to keep you consistent without stress.
Can only manage once a week for now? Start there. Momentum matters more than perfection.
→ Not sure what’s realistic for your schedule? We’ll map it out in your assessment.
Pilates is a focused way of moving that improves how your body actually works — posture, core control, the way your joints and muscles cooperate. The result is less pain, better balance, real strength, and a body that serves you well into your 70s and beyond.
The reformer is the machine Joseph Pilates designed the whole method around: a sliding carriage with adjustable spring resistance that lets you perform hundreds of movements, scaled to any level. It’s endlessly adaptable — which is exactly why it works for everyone from post-op rehab to serious athletes.
→ The best way to understand it is to feel it. Book your intro session.
Cost & commitment
Never. All memberships are month-to-month with no lock-in — two weeks’ written notice to pause or stop, and that’s it.
We’d rather earn your next month than trap you in it.
Many people who stay consistent in the beginning fall in love with ho wit makes them feel and look so we don’t need lock in contracts!
We planned for that. Your Life Happens pass lets you miss a booked class each month and make it up later. You can freeze your membership in two-week blocks, up to two months a year. And class packs give you six months to use your sessions whenever you can.
Life doesn’t stop for Pilates — your membership shouldn’t punish you when it gets loud.
→ Ask us which option fits your season of life best.
Fair question. Memberships work out to the best value per class, and most clients find it replaces a scattered mix of physio, gym and stretching with one thing that actually holds it all together. You’re not buying fitness classes — you’re building a practice that keeps you out of pain and moving well for decades.
→ Come try us with an intro assessment before you commit to anything ongoing.
The practical bits
Fitted, comfortable workout gear (nothing too baggy — our instructors need to see how you’re moving). Grip socks are required on the reformer for safety and hygiene; we sell them in the studio if you don’t have a pair. Bring a water bottle and yourself. For your first session, arrive 10–15 minutes early to fill out a quick intake form.
Twelve hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a booking, so we can offer the spot to someone if we have a waitlist.
Simple courtesy that keeps classes fair for everyone and respects our Instructors time for private bookings.
We’re in Joondalup — Unit 11/7 Delage Street, opposite Lakeside Joondalup Shopping Centre. Call 0456 788 762 or email info@thepilatesklinik.com.au. We actually reply.
