5 /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 south Melbourne studio has quite a trendy vibe with dimmer mood lighting, feels more modern compared to the port Melbourne studio which is more bright and light. Both have good instructors. Clean bathroom, 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 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 2 hour street parking spots available around the area. 12 clients max per class, 50 mins per session.
Classes here specifically: as a beginner I found Maxs class to be the easiest to follow simply because his instructions are very loud and clear whilst he shows you the movements, and he repeats it well so I spent less time looking around me trying to copy others because I didnt get what the instruction was (I think youll do this anyway for any beginner, but I just found i was doing it less in his class). I also like how he corrects the clients because then were getting the most benefit from the training, whilst hes still being very encouraging.
