Sweat, stretch and strengthen—meet Rebalance, Tuggeranong’s new reformer Pilates studio

Posted on 18 October, 2022

There’s no denying it: Pilates is the workout of the year, but southsiders can forget traveling into the city to feel the burn–they can get it at Rebalance, Tuggeranong’s new Pilates studio.

That’s right: offering reformer Pilates classes in the south of Canberra, Rebalance has officially opened its doors to bring some zen (and sweat) into the lives of Tuggeranong locals.

The first of the boutique brand’s studio to open in Canberra—Rebalance has its origins in sunny Brisbane—they don’t just offer workouts that are trending on TikTok. Instead, the team helps clients reimagine their wellness goals by strengthening their mind-body connection with reformer Pilates.

Using music, breathwork, and movement to remove the noise and anchor you in the here and now, Studio Manager Treva Syphers says what makes Rebalance different from other Pilates studios is their focus on a meaningful reformer Pilates experience through movement, intuition, and connection.

“We want to ensure that our members feel completely welcome when they walk through our doors, regardless of what stage they are in their health and fitness journey,” he explains.

“We focus on providing our clients with the tools to strengthen their bodies, the confidence to improve their physical potential, and cultivate presence through breathwork and regular heart-felt practice.”

Offering three signature classes—Open Reformer Pilates, Align Reformer Pilates, and 101 Reformer Pilates—each promises a total body workout that will leave you feeling connected, stronger, and confident. And if you’ve ever been on a reformer machine before (a device that has ropes, springs, pulleys and a sliding bed), you know how fun and challenging the classes can be.

Carefully curated to suit all fitness levels, according to Treva there are numerous benefits for donning your activewear and booking into one of their low-impact, high-intensity sessions.

“Pilates is for everyone, regardless of size, shape, or fitness level,” he says. “Incorporating a regular Pilates practice can tone and firm muscles without impacting the joints, it can improve postural muscles, it relieves stress and tension, and Pilates can improve coordination and flexibility. It’s also a fun experience that allows you to let go and enjoy the moment!”

“We also have a handful of pre-and post-natal friendly timeslots to keep our classes as accessible as possible.”

Located conveniently in the heart of Tuggeranong, it’s the perfect lunchtime escape for public servants looking to shake up their workout routine or for anyone who needs to integrate some form of physical activity into their weekly Kmart run (apart from walking around the store and loading up the trolley with everything in sight).

Offering a special deal for the first 50 people to sign up for their Foundation Memberships, Pilates lovers can enjoy all the benefits of Rebalance for $44.95 per week. Unlocking an unlimited number of classes, it’s the perfect introduction to the transformational workout.

“We’re helping to rebalance the lives of our community,” says Treva. “Our instructors and members support and encourage one another during the class, allowing our members to have a balance between their social life and their fitness goals all in one space.”

Sounds like the perfect combination.
