Pronto Pilates - Richmond - Richmond (VIC)

5 /5 Melissa Morgan: The absolute best way to do Pilates! Way cheaper, and more convenient given the sheer number of classes each day. The classes are also crazy good quality for the price - great variety, clear instructions, spotless studio. The only thing I don’t recommend is the grip socks they sell in the foyer - not as grippy as other brands.

1 /5 Eos Kappadais: A couple points that I would like to make about my experience with pronto Pilates: -it is way overpriced for what it is. Whilst more affordable than a regular Pilates studio, $99 a month for 11 classes is outrageous. My old gym membership with free classes and a free personal training session included was about $70 per month and they hired staff that you could consult. The lack of live instructors means that there is no adjustment or guidance for doing a move if you’re doing it wrong which could lead to injury. I cannot think of a justification for the price seeing as it is a bare room with a handful of reformers playing an exercise video on the wall. For 2-3ish months of membership I could quite literally buy a Pilates machine or foldable reformer, watch an online video and do it for free. However, what I pay for is having a live instructor there to teach and help me. -the class was advertised as 6:45-7:30 but it ran well under. There was an insufficient cool-down sequence and the class ended before 7:30. So it wasn’t even the length that was advertised. All in all I would not really say it is worth the price to be honest. You could probably just invest in a Pilates machine or foldable reformer and get the same experience but for free at home. If the membership was cheaper I would say this is a better option but it’s not even that drastically different from other Pilates studios that have live actual instructors.

5 /5 Priscilla Yardley: Twelve months ago I was looking for reformer pilates classes at an affordable price and came across Pronto Pilates. I had avoided exercise for many years but I tried it and havent missed going regularly since. It is so good! I am amazed at the muscles and core strength that I have developed. The studio is easy to use, the different plans suit different needs, the video routines are varied and the many classes suit my busy lifestyle. I do miss a physical instructor at times but I overcome this by listening carefully and adjusting my position in response to instructions. I really love it!

5 /5 Christine Stoove: I have been attending classes for 3 months now. I feel physically stronger, fitter and happier than I have since before my two children. The best part for a mum of two young children is the flexibility of classes. Every day any time. The next best thing is novelty. As someone who doesn’t have a great record of attendance after the initial glow has worn off… the fact that every single class is different means I am never bored. And lastly, feeling dynamically fit, functionally powerful because of the diversity of exercises has meant I am not sore, and my previous injuries are finally being healed. I am a massive advocate.

5 /5 Niamh: Affordable reformer! Ive been going to Pronto for 6 months now and its become a favourite part of my routine. The classes are well-guided and easy to follow (once you get used to the TVs!), the space is always very clean, and the timetable makes it easy to find a class to fit into my schedule. This is the first time Ive been able to afford weekly reformer classes and its a real game changer. I do think having some grasp of pilates and proper form through in-person instruction is key here, and would recommend some regular classes to absolute beginners to nail down the basics first.
