4 /5 sventek: In seeking advice to get stronger to avoid the intermittent aches and strains that comes with natural aging, I was recommended KX pilates by a medical professional who believes that KX is one of the practices who dont stray too far away from the teachings of Joseph Pilates. The port Melbourne studio is very bright and light. Good working reformer beds that feel new. I like how consistent the class availabilities are, even on public holidays. Whilst you can make bookings to different studios on the same site, their fee structure is such that you have to first purchase a class pack for a specific studio, and you can only use the pass to book classes from that specific studio. Because my schedule requires flexibility, I tend to swap between the port Melbourne and South Melbourne studios depending on both our availabilities (I wish they allowed booking at any studios instead) however their real time updates of spots available helps. Free street parking spots available around the area. 12 clients max per class, 50 mins per session.
Classes here specifically: as a beginner I found Genes class the most beginner friendly, her instructions are clear, and her regime for the beginner class were genuinely for beginners, I found some others were more catered towards "intermediate" or "advanced beginner" with beginners more in the back of their mind even though the class was specified beginner, and Id be struggling to keep up, which was a little bit annoying in the beginning because I wouldve happily booked another class instead had I known I was going to be the only beginner struggling in the clearly more advanced class, but as you attend more classes you get a better idea of which instructors work for you better anyway.
