Pilates for Every Body
In Their Words…
What CLASS SHOULD YOU BOOK?
All our classes are beginner-friendly, so you can jump into any session that fits your schedule. If you're new to Pilates or just getting back into movement, we recommend starting with a STRENGTH class. It's a great way to build your foundation and get comfortable with the reformer.
If you're feeling ready to elevate your heart rate and add some cardio, try a SWEAT class. It's a fun, high-energy session that blends Pilates with a cardio boost.
Still unsure? You can always try STRETCH! It’s the best of both worlds, a good solid workout and stretch session in one, a great way to ease into things. And if you’re ever stuck, just chat to one of our instructors. We’re here to help!
What to bring to your first class?
Just bring yourself and get ready for a good time - we’ve got the rest covered!
Here’s what we recommend to help you feel comfy and confident:
🧦 Grip socks
These are a must for safety (and hygiene). Don’t have a pair? No stress, you can grab some at the studio.
💧 Water bottle
You’ll definitely want to stay hydrated.
👚 Comfy, fitted activewear
Wear something you can move in, and that lets your instructor see your form so we can guide you properly.
⏰ Arrive 10–15 minutes early
We’ll show you around, walk you through the reformer and answer any last-minute questions before you jump in.
We’re so excited to welcome you, whether it’s your first Pilates class ever or just your first time with us. You’ve got this 🤍
how long is my pass valid for once I’ve started?
Our 21 Day Kickstarter starts from your first class. We recommend booking your multiple sessions in different classes, with different instructors, to see what you like and get the most out of it!
Can I use my pass at multiple studios?
The 21 Day Kickstarter is valid for one location only.
I’m concerned I can’t do HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)... I haven’t worked out in ages
So glad you're getting back at it! But don't worry, we try to make our HIIT sequences as easy to follow as possible. We have them displayed on screen at the front of class while our certified Instructors move around the room offering options to ensure you get the most you can out of each exercise! Our studio is a open and inclusive space, so you can work at your pace and progress when you feel confident and comfortable.
I’ve never done reformer pilates before, is that ok?
Definitely! We layer each exercise offering advancements and modifications to suit all fitness levels. We welcome beginners to all of our classes! Make sure to tell your Instructor it's your first time, so they can introduce to the reformer and help you with any needed modifications throughout class.
Can I do a class if I’m pregnant?
You're welcome to attend any of our classes. Our classes can be modified for those who are pregnant, as long as you’ve been cleared to exercise by your GP. Please update your trainer on how you’re feeling and how many weeks you are before each and every class.
We do recommend if it is your first time, you might find our Strength or Stretch classes as great options to start. If you have any more questions, feel free to email us at hello@hiitpilatesstudio.com and we would be more than happy to answer any queries you may have.
What happens if I have an injury?
As long as you've been cleared to train in a group fitness environment by your GP or physio, then we'll happily modify exercises for you in our classes. It's best to arrive 10 minutes early to ensure you have time to chat with your instructor about your injury, and they'll make sure to give you the appropriate modifications throughout your workout.
What Happens After the First Timer Pass?
Loved your intro classes? You’ll have the option to roll into one of our ongoing memberships or packs. No pressure, no lock-ins — just options when you’re ready and if you think it’s for you.
IS IT NEAR PUBLIC TRANSPORT?
Absolutely! It is just a 5 minute walk from the Waterloo Metro Station, 10 minute walk from Green Square and there is a bus stop right out front!
YOu have a few questions? AND Prefer to chat to someone about it?

Owner and Founder of HIIT Pilates, Carla promises you’ll never do a boring workout again. Every class is different - she’s always tweaking a rep count, move combo, or tempo variation... and pulses, nothing beats low-range pulses.
In addition to her certifications in Pilates mat and reformer, Carla is a qualified Personal Trainer, Barre and Boxilates instructor. While her classes are strong, they are focussed on functional movement patterns to help clients move well in their daily lives. After years of hearing from clients, “I love reformer, but I’m missing cardio”, and equally, “I hurt myself at the gym, I’ve been told to try Pilates” she created HIIT Pilates mixing the best of high intensity interval training with the control and alignment of reformer Pilates.
Carla understands everyone leads busy lives but that if we love what we’re doing and nurture our body, we can achieve great things. She believes that Pilates focus on posture, core stability and strength makes it an important practice for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Yasmin is currently studying a bachelor of health science in Naturopathy and has practiced various forms of yoga over the past 10 years. Yasmin recently discovered Pilates after having just moved to Sydney and was immediately addicted. The feeling of finding equilibrium in strength, agility, coordination and balance left Yasmin wanting more. Pilates provides such a fun and creative outlet to explore our body’s potential, our mental stamina and to deepen our connection to each breath and movement.
Yasmin loves to see each student finishing a challenging class with a blissful smile and a big red-faced post-exercise glow! Yasmin believes our bodies demand to be challenged in order to grow and flourish both physically, mentally and emotionally.

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!”

She’s a little obsessed with Pilates and loves that walking into the studio allows space to truly connect to your body and switch off from the noise in your head. With a mix of Pilates and HIIT, expect a challenging, energising class that leaves you feeling strong, centred, and accomplished. Honestly… what more could you ask for?
