Strong Pilates

Fantastic experience: Oh, you know, if your love language is words of affirmation and you hear Petros, Heather, or Hannah say 'You go, Hazel!' or 'Well done, Hazel!' ... you just can't help but keep going and put in twice the effort Julius and I have been going to Strong for a month now, and it has been excellent. We enjoy every class and appreciate the support and warmth of the instructors (Tara, too!)!

Fantastic experience: I love Strong. :D After a year of consistently going here, this is the longest I've stayed with a gym 'cause they just make it so fun. The team is super amazing, and I love the intense, cardio-mixed workouts. It is also a huge plus for me that I don't have limitations to select a particular slot that suits my fitness level from some timetable. There is different focus on what part of body we're targetting each day and the instructors give options for each of the sets to suit individual energy levels for the day. I definitely feel the difference, and would highly recommend trying!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a few classes here and loved every single one! Especially the strength class. I love how you combine the bike/rower with the Pilates. The studio has everything you need from the equipment to tv screens showing the exercises and also lovely showers/changing rooms. The staff are so friendly and great at their job! Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Such challenging and fun classes. Also very clean and professional. Petros was great :)

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Strong more highly, it is the perfect combination of pilates, strength and cardio. There is never a dull moment with different classes each day and week, it is never repetitive. The crew at Strong Elsternwick are so welcoming and encouraging which makes it super enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Feeling oh-so strong and powerful after this morning's loaded lower class. The class was pumping with good tunes, great vibes and plenty of sweat.

Fantastic experience: I’m a newbie to STRONG but I already love the vibes (and burn) I get every time I show up! Instructors are really good at showing new people how to get started and feel comfortable - I can’t wait to continue!

Fantastic experience: The perfect balance between Pilates and Cardio for those of who can’t decide . ‍♀️ Gets you STRETCHING and SWEATING at the same time…..and you will need a shower after and also definitely we could use that Dysan to dry me and my two daughters hair

Fantastic experience: I love STRONG! Before I joined in 2021, I hated exercise and never went to gym. Safe to say that STRONG changed that for me. Studio is beautiful, all the trainers are super supportive, and will push you out of your comfort zone in the best way possible!!

Tara is also the BEST studio manager!!!!

Fantastic experience: This studio seems to have a winning blend of getting big results with a team who have big hearts and smiles.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of my incredible journey at Strong Elsternwick so far ✨ From the moment I stepped in, I was enveloped in positive vibes that set the tone for every session. The studio's focus on mental strengthening alongside physical challenges truly sets it apart! It’s vibey, invigorating and the inviting space creates the perfect backdrop for pushing my limits while finding tranquility for my mind. The workouts are undeniably challenging, yet they leave me feeling empowered and rejuvenated. The trainers are so passionate in the studio - they are dedicated to honing our technique, ensuring that each move is precise and impactful.

Thank you - I can't recommend this studio enough to anyone seeking an uplifting and transformative pilates & strength experience!

Fantastic experience: The vibe and quality of workouts is hard to beat and arguably impossible to injure yourself. I found the other group fitness training places didn’t sit in an exercise long enough to really benefit and you get injured when you’re re-racking weights, from being fatigued, poor technique, etc. This place gets me the kind of functional fitness that has resulted in improved running, surfing, stamina and general posture. The trainers are very attentive to your technique and instructions are clear. I highly recommend it and if you can manage 3-4 sessions per week you’ll notice significant difference at around the 3 week mark.

Fantastic experience: This location, "STRONG Elsternwick," has the WOW factor. The reformers are unique compared to those in other Pilates studios. Any mature woman will be able to execute exercises that we couldn’t even imagine. Your minor pains will go away, and your muscles will start to function normally once more. The Pilates instructors are qualified, considerate, and entertaining. Even though I wake up at 5.15am for a 6am session five days a week, I have regained my waist, my strength, and a ton of energy. Huge hugs go out to the STRONG Elsternwick team; you guys are special. Never claim that I failed to warn you about "PETROS, one of the instructors)"! I challenge you to sign up for a class with him. You'll become addicted)! I dare you to book in a class with him. You will be hooked! Just saying…. 11 kilos lighter but most importantly my visceral body fat was 16 now 8! They have that machine thingy you jump on and it reads all your levels of muscle and fat from head to toe and the printer spits it out! Healthy bones, healthy heart and so much fun with the 20 year olds. No boring, repetitive classes. Strength training is a must for us and the weights are incorporated in most of my classes. Don't be jealous when you see my arms.......

Fantastic experience: The perfect stop if you like Pilates but want a little more strength or cardio involved. Petros is my fav trainer

Fantastic experience: I have only done a handful of classes at Strong Elsternwick so far but they have been super welcoming and accommodating. Each coach has made sure I feel comfortable during the workouts. The workouts themselves are a great combo of Pilates, strength and cardio… just the mix up I was after after 2 years elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: 11/10!! Great for anyone that enjoys Pilates and weights but wants more of a sweat. The trainers are supportive and help with form, it's a very inclusive environment and great for anyone regardless of age or fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Joining Strong Elsternwick is without a doubt one of the best things I've ever done for my health and fitness. It's the perfect mix of strength, stability and cardio, and I have never seen such dramatic changes in my fitness or mentality from any other kind of training. What makes the Elsternwick studio so unique is just how much knowledge the instructors have about strength training and technique, and they are always on hand to correct your form, to praise you when you're doing well, or to motivate you push through when you're struggling (looking at you, plank-to-pikes!). The trainers also make a real effort to get to know you and make you feel welcome and it goes such a long way. Thank you team - keep up the great work ✨

Fantastic experience: Can I just say that this is by far the best concept in the world! Combining 45 minutes of strength with Reformer Pilates and Cardio with Rowing/Bike Ergs for a wicked High intensity and low impact training session. We have the best trainers, incredible music mixed with a variety of classes during the week you just can’t resist coming back for more and more. I’m addicted and love the challenge and burn . Even at 54. Love you guys. RG

Let’s goooo! ️

Fantastic experience: High-intensity, strength based workout that perfectly blends pilates and cardio. Great trainers that encourage you and correct you when you're doing it wrong!. You definitely feel like you've had a work out at the end of the 45 minute class - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Strong Pilates Elsternwick is a game-changer! The workouts are challenging in the best way possible, and the incorporation of the rower/bike adds an exciting dimension to traditional Pilates. The workouts deliver a perfect balance of strength, cardio, and flexibility that has accelerated my results. The cherry on top? The post-class cold towel that adds a refreshing touch of luxury. If you're searching for a Pilates studio that combines a friendly atmosphere, tough workouts, and leaves you feeling empowered, Strong Pilates is it!

Fantastic experience: Consistency is so important. Every class I attend at Strong is consistently challenging and fun! The instructors are all motivating and engaged. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the blend of weights/Pilates and cardio - every single class you can feel it working and the way the workout is broken into sections makes the time fly. After only a few classes you start to feel the difference which is much quicker than other workout styles I’ve tried so would definitely reccomend

Fantastic experience: I have been going to strong for well over a year now and have never been fitter. Before I joined I struggled with injury and continuity on the field playing AFL and cricket year round as well as being a runner and doing a few triathlons. The classes are a perfect mix of strength, HIIT and pilates which has improved my balance, stability, power and core strength. Going to strong has allowed me to stay noticeably injury free as well bulk up my running km's and speed (currently at 80 kms p/w). The best thing however is the community that exists here. Wonderful trainers who are super knowledgeable and helpful as well as awesome people to meet and interact with. Would and have strongly recommended to friends.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Strong for nearly 6 months now. I am feeling the best I’ve ever felt physically and mentally. The classes are challenging but led by expert trainers. The energy from the strong community is addictive and I look forward to each class. I would thoroughly recommend Strong even if it’s just for the cold towel with hints of eucalyptus at the end of every class.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Strong Elsternwick! Classes are challenging and the trainers are always super friendly and work hard to keep you motivated :) !

Fantastic experience: I only started coming to strong Elsternwick nearly 2 months ago and can already feel a difference in my strength! Pilates at Strong has truly exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the vibrant energy of the studio. The instructors are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also incredibly supportive and motivating. The studio itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes every session enjoyable. I've seen remarkable improvements in my strength, flexibility, and overall well-being since I started attending classes here. If you're looking for a positive and transformative fitness journey, Strong Elsternwick is the place to be! I have recommended strong to a few of my friends now who have since started up and have been loving it and are now recommending it to more and more people! Definitely give strong a try you wont regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Strong Elsternwick enough!! I have been going to Strong for almost 2 years now and they truly offer the best Pilates classes out there.

Shout out to all the amazing trainers who really motivate you and support you from the beginning of your STRONG journey. Thanks team.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and lovely experienced trainers!

Fantastic experience: As a total beginner I was really nervous coming to Strong, HOWEVER, the instructors have been incredibly supportive of my journey (special mention to Sonja). You absolutely feel the burn every single session, it’s so exciting!! I’ve already seen changes in my strength and endurance. Once you start, you won’t stop. Other worthwhile mentions: - the studio is always fresh and clean - the music is immaculate - great variety of classes to work the whole body!

Fantastic experience: Strong Elsternwick is hands down my favourite place to be for the day! Such an encouraging, happy, friendly environment. Not to mention we get pushed to our limits to get the best out of our workouts! Music vibes are great, trainers are awesome, an all around great place to train every part of your body!!

Fantastic experience: Good mix of rowing and pilates

Fantastic experience: STRONG has re-inspired me after a bit of a fitness slump. I love the variety that the classes offer with a great mix between cardio and strength. Even if I go to a class with a "Won't try too hard" mindset, the instructors always motivate me to do my best and I leave feeling like I've put in my all. Thanks STRONG!

Fantastic experience: Strong is literally its name - you will feel empowered, physically capable and indestructible after 1 class. Having visited other studios, the Elsternwick studio will push you to your limits, and you will always leave feeling like you accomplished something. Expect sweat, sore muscles and a red face but strong

Fantastic experience: I am currently doing the strong week and absolutely loving it!! Can’t wait to see my flat pancake bottom, transform xoxox Thanks Strong Fam

Fantastic experience: Welcoming fun studio. Love the mix of rowing and Pilates. At the end of 45 minutes definitely felt like I’d done a work out! But the cold towel at the end was amazing.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love strong! Coaches are all super knowledgeable and supportive! Workouts are always challenging yet so much fun!! Couldn’t recommend it anymore!!

Fantastic experience: Just before Christmas last year I’d planned to trial three local pilates studios and choose the best one. Strong was my first trial and I got hooked! The Strong concept (“rowformer”) really elevates classic reformer pilates, with the choice of more strength/cardio focused sessions and either a rower or bike to get sweaty. Plus, standard pilates classes through the week too! Most importantly, the Elsternwick studio is unpretentious and incredibly welcoming, with supportive trainers and classes that cater to all abilities and fitness/pilates levels.

Fantastic experience: I can’t rave enough about Strong and especially Strong Elsternwick. I tell anyone who asks how amazing the workout is. The instructors at Elsternwick are fun, knowledgeable, motivating and really foster that sense of community. What a great idea to combine reformer beds, weights and cardio. You get everything in the one place. I can highly recommend Strong Elsternwick for anyone who wants to have a good experience working out.

Fantastic experience: The most motivating and amazing energy! Absolutely love everything about Strong The workouts are great and challenging and the instructors are fantastic

Fantastic experience: Strong Elsternwick is a wonderful place to train. The instructors are competent and helpful, and committed to helping everyone improve and achieve their fitness goals. The atmosphere is cheerful and friendly and there are oodles of classes to chose from.

Fantastic experience: Perfect mix of pilates and cardio with a choice of rower or bike. Trainers are fantastic! If you’re looking to build strength and cardio fitness I can highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE Strong. I've trained for years at various gyms and by far these are the most challenging yet rewarding classes I've ever done. A great mix of cardio, strength and Pilates - you'll be sweat'n!! Instructors are all amazing, and try and push you as hard as youll go. Facilities always clean and equipment always in good order.

Fantastic experience: Strong is by far the best group exercise I've ever done, and Strong Elsternwick is the most welcoming and inclusive studio. All the instructors are so knowledgeable and inspirational, and their fitness levels are amazing. They really live what they teach. I love the sense of community created by Sonja and the team, enhanced by newsletters, info sessions and social events. Strong is much more than your normal reformer pilates, but I'm 60+ and have never felt overwhelmed by the commitment required. A huge thanks to the Elsternwick team for making me move.

Fantastic experience: I went for my first time ever today and Emma was super welcoming and supportive!! I will definitely be back to try rowing :)

Fantastic experience: The variety of workouts

Fantastic experience: STRONG is the perfect option if you’re looking for an incredible workout that’s lower impact. Not your typical Pilates class as weights and cardio is often mixed in via bike and rower. The classes are never the same and instructors are attentive to your form to ensure you’re doing best by your body. Chou, Liv, Pedros, Heather and team always brighten my day. I’ve tried all types of group fitness classes all over the world and STRONG is something different - if you don’t give it a go you’re missing out

Fantastic experience: Amazing!!!

Fantastic experience: Love love love this workout! Have lived in Elsternwick for 12 years, and this is by far the best fitness workout I’ve tried in ages. Friendly staff and knowledgeable trainers.

Fantastic experience: What a workout? very clean and beautiful space. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I enjoy carbs yet still feel comfortable enough to work out in this venue. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The best workout you will ever have! Love it

Fantastic experience: Being a novice at reformer pilates / never been to a class ever, I was shown the equipment/ how it works and was made to feel at home. The staff are super friendly. Ive been twice now, Its super fun and you will SWEAT! Can't wait for my next session... Highly Recommend!

Negative experience: Extremely disappointing. It was my first time there. I arrived 15 minutes early as was stated to do on website to explain how it all worked. I checked in, was barely acknowledged and wasn’t shown how the equipment worked. Halfway through the class I fell and fractured my rib. When I tried to explain to the manager and owner that I wasn’t taken through how the rowformer worked they said I was lying. Although this happened 2 weeks ago I believe the follow up duty of care was completely lacking.

Fantastic experience: It is a full-body workout that comes with a bucket of sweat. Had 2 sessions and definitely coming back for more. Embrace the burn (muscles) when you're doing it right. The instructor (Timea) is approachable and encouraging! Give it a go if you're looking for something challenging and different, this is the place to be.
