For over 21 years, our St Ives studio has been the Pilates home for the Upper North Shore. People of every age and stage walk through the door, from first-timers who are certain they will be the least coordinated person in the room, to people who have been moving with us since the early days. They reconnect with their bodies, build real strength, and usually stay for the company as much as the Pilates. It is a studio, but it runs like a village. Expect laughter, the odd terrible joke, and instructors who know your name and your dodgy left knee.

Our teachers never stop training. They take internal and external courses through the year, which keeps the teaching sharp, current and genuinely useful, so the care you feel in class is the real thing and not a tagline.

We are proud of what that work has been recognised for. Village Pilates won the 2025 Local Business Awards for the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai region, was named Best Pilates Studio on the Upper North Shore at the 2024 Quality Business Awards, and was a finalist for Pilates Business of the Year at the 2025 AUSactive Australian Pilates Industry Awards and again at the 2026 AUSactive National Awards. It is also a finalist in the 2026 Local Business Awards, with winners yet to be announced. Our founder Lisa was named national Pilates Enthusiast of the Year at the 2026 Pilates Industry Awards. It is recognition that reaches across the Upper North Shore and the Northern Beaches, earned one body at a time.

From group classes to semi-private sessions and personalised one-on-ones, the St Ives studio has a place for every step of your Pilates journey, wherever you are starting from. We are easy to reach from Pymble, Gordon, Wahroonga, Turramurra and across the Northern Beaches.
