Cam Anthony

Cam brings to HIIT Pilates a diverse background in the teaching & practice of Pilates, yoga, pole fitness and barre.

Having trained in classical ballet and contemporary dance up until the age of 19, Cam has always had a passion for movement. After a hiatus of a few years, a fiery ashtanga yoga class got her into her groove again- and she has since studied yoga teaching at BodyMindLife and trained extensively in mat and reformer Pilates at Studio Pilates, KX and Elixr Pilates. Cam also teaches pole fitness and barre classes.

Cam’s sessions are strong, energetic and sweaty and are guaranteed to push you out of your comfort zone for the better! Two core beliefs are at the heart of every class you’ll take with her: 1. Movement is medicine; and 2. You are infinitely stronger than you know. You’ll leave a HIIT Pilates session with Cam walking taller, feeling stronger and proud of the amazing things you never knew you were capable of!

Masha Basman

Masha started her pilates journey over 8 years ago whilst she was in school. Coming from a competitive dance background, she has always had a passion for movement as a creative/emotional release and really resonated in with the mindfulness and flow of pilates.

Working as an actress she loves to engage with people, she found teaching to be another way to connect with people and move them in some way. Her strong energy will motivate and support you.

Masha believes we are all more capable than we think and she is determined to make sure her students feel empowered and proud of themselves after every class.

Jay Martin

Jay is an enthusiastic trainer from the UK. She is passionate about body positivity and empowerment. She has come to Australia to broaden her teaching knowledge and is excited to bring her passion to HIIT Pilates!

Isabella Gibson-Giorgio

Before completing her Reformer certification through HIIT Pilates Academy, Isabella had tried every fitness modality - from functional weights, boxing, barre & cardio heavy classes. Isabella found her perfect fit in HIIT Pilates, where everything she loves about training comes together in one class.

With a background in competitive sport, she’s always valued conditioning training that supports a strong, balanced body. For Isabella, fitness is a non-negotiable; it keeps both her body and mind healthy.

Expect to walk out of class feeling sweaty, strong, and with a big hit of dopamine!

Laura Lasker

Laura completed her education in personal training in 2009 and also went on to study Yoga but found her passion for Pilates in 2010. In 2014 Laura completed her certificates in Pilates Mat, Reformer and Pre and Postnatal Pilates. Laura has since completed courses on Athletic reformer, further Pre and Postnatal, Flexibility, Mobility and Functional movement.

“I love the diversity that Pilates brings. Whether it’s to rebuild my body after having children, to increase sport performance or maintain a great overall fitness, Pilates will allow the practitioner to set the foundation’s to accomplish any goal. I love the nurturing aspect it can have for women to reclaim their body and sense of self after childbirth and I love how it can create a strong and resilient core for people looking to strengthen and develop power in their chosen sport.”

Laura delivers a strong class but can modify to suit any level. Be prepared to work!

Lauren Wilson

A self professed HIIT Pilates addict, Lauren began attending classes at HIIT after the first COVID lockdown, when she’d grown tired of home workouts and needed inspiration to get moving again. After her Intro Pass she was hooked, and in time it was a natural progression for her to study Pilates Instruction under the tutelage of HIIT’s very own Carla Sconce.

Lauren says, “It’s amazing that HIIT pilates gives me the best of body weight work and also heavy resistance & weights. I love the fact that we as a studio embrace everyone from all fitness levels, and that’s what I strive for in my classes: to make the class achievable for those starting out as well as challenging for those pushing their strength and balance. I look forward to seeing you in class!”

Shirley Chan

Starting her journey in reformer Pilates eight years ago, Shirley has been hooked ever since - no matter where in the world she was living. From Sydney to Toronto to London, she balanced a demanding corporate career with her passion for movement, always finding her way back to the reformer.

What began as a personal practice evolved into completing the HIIT Pilates Academy certification, then teaching, and now, as the studio owner of HIIT Pilates Surry Hills, Shirley brings a results-driven approach to every class. Blending mindful movement with high-intensity training, her sessions are designed to unlock your body’s full potential while strengthening the mind-body connection. Expect to sweat, strengthen, and surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Candice Anthony

Candice has always had a love for movement, with 15 years of classical ballet and contemporary dance training. Experiencing first hand the transformative properties of pilates, particularly in combination with high intensity interval training, Candice was inspired to deepen her knowledge and embark on her teaching journey. She loves that pilates has the ability to increase strength, muscle tone, posture and kinaesthetic awareness, as well as enhancing the mind-body connection.

Olivia Lord

With 13 years of experience as a dancer, Olivia has always been fueled by a passion for helping others discover the joy of movement and a love for physical activity.

Two years ago, Olivia discovered HIIT Pilates and was instantly captivated. The combination of HIIT training with reformer strength, cardio and mindfulness in each session resonated deeply with her, and she quickly became hooked. Eager to deepen her expertise, Olivia enrolled in the HIIT Academy, where she honed her skills and expanded her knowledge in Reformer Pilates. Olivia's classes are not just about physical exercise; they are an invitation to rediscover the fun and push yourself to the limits.

Sophia Kalas

Sophia discovered her love for fitness at a young age when she first picked up a tennis racquet. Growing up, she spent years training and competing, which sparked a lifelong passion for movement and performance.

With over 10 years in the fitness industry, Sophia began her career as a club manager before completing her certifications and moving into coaching. Since then, she has taught across various disciplines including Pilates, spin, strength & conditioning, and HIIT. She is a qualified group coach, personal trainer, and reformer instructor.

Bridgett Ledak

Bridgett loves all things movement - yoga, walking, swimming - but Pilates will always have her heart. She discovered the practice eight years ago as an outlet from her corporate consulting career and quickly fell in love. Inspired to share that joy with others, she took the leap into teaching.

Bridgett is passionate about making Pilates accessible to everyone. She’s committed to creating a welcoming, supportive space for people of all abilities, grounded in her belief that wellness is a right we all share. Her favourite part of teaching is watching students build confidence in their movement and get excited to explore new progressions.

Outside the studio, Bridgett still works in corporate but treasures the time she spends teaching and practising with her HIIT community in Surry Hills. When she’s not on the reformer, you can usually find her soaking up the sun at the beach or binging the latest Netflix release.
