Pilates + Bendigo

Fantastic experience: I joined Pilates plus over a year ago now and have enjoyed the benefit of their excellent guidance and professionalism. They are well organised, helpful, staff are lovely and cater for various levels of fitness. The time table is extensive, giving us every opportunity to attend the huge variety of classes. They tick all the boxes including being in such a convenient location!

Fantastic experience: Such a Fantastic Pilates studio plus so much more! My life has completely changed for the better because of Pilates +. All the staff are incredible people/trainers, I’m grateful for the kids friendly studios they offer for parents! I wouldn’t be able to attend if this wasn’t possible. I enjoy attending my 5 days a week and look forward to seeing all the familiar faces I’ve become great friends with! Keep up the good work Pilates team!

Fantastic experience: The CUTEST and best studio! So warming and friendly environment to walk into, coming from the Gisborne Pilates Plus (which I adore in and of itself) Was greeted with the same amazing energy and smiling faces! Best place for a workout! Easy and reliable for an amazing and custom workout to your needs! Couldn’t recommend more!

Fantastic experience: As a mum of 4 young kids Pilates Plus Bendigo is amazing. Not only is it super kid friendly, the staff are so welcoming, professional and supportive. It has an amazing community feel and I love my mornings spent there. Thanks team!

Negative experience: I attended their studio for the first time 3 weeks ago and injured my left shoulder. I have been doing Pilates for 6 years and this is the first time ever that I have injured myself because of an movement that wasn't taught safely. I have never done this exercise before as there are not many jumpboard classes in Melbourne so I trust the instructor. She told us to place our left forearms on top of the shoulder rest, set up the rest of the exercise where the feet and right hand would be and told us to jump. There was nothing against shoulder rest to take the impact of the jump. As a result, I slided off the shoulder rest when I landed, flew off the reformer, scrapped my left arm against the metal part of the shoulder rest and my right hand quickly grabbed on to the reformer before my head hit the ground. My left shoulder didn't hurt at first so I thought I could continue exercising. I then positioned myself against the shoulder rest this time to make sure I don't fall the next time. I wasn't the only client who fell, there were other clients who fell too. The clients told the instructor and the instructor put it back on the clients that their core is not strong yet. That exercise has nothing to do to with core muscles. The exercise was not set up safely to take an impact of the jump. When I got home, I felt the pain in my shoulder muscle. I iced it but the pain was still there after 2 days. I emailed my feedback to the studio owners and they responded after 3 days. They said that they will provide the feedback to their instructor team and hopefully my arm will get better. I attempted a side plank but the muscle still hurts after a week's rest. I emailed them to tell them that I will wait for another week to see if it was better. If it doesn't, I will see a physio as I could have possibly have an injury and will be sending my physio bills to them. There is no response this time hence the review on Google to get their attention. A major safety concern I have with this studio is that they allow young children to run amok in the studio while we were exercising. These children are under 4 years old. There is a playpen in the studio but the children were running around instead of being in it. They could trip and hit their heads against hard edges of the reformers. The studio needs to hire a child minder because it is unreasonable for an instructor to look after the children and teach at the same time. I don't recall seeing any signs or policies that children are to stay in the playpen. I hope that following this review, the studio implements a clearer policy on work health safety for their clients and instructors.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic friendly place to workout. I joined about a month ago and the staff are so helpful and friendly. They make exercise feel good.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Pilates Plus for probably six months now and I absolutely love it!! The instructors are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the studio is super welcoming and supportive. No class is ever the same - they are fun and full of variety and laughs. Always leave feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day!
