GoogleA beautiful, light filled space for classes and private sessions alike. Tamara is a wonderful, knowledgeable practitioner who knows exactly what bodies need for optimal mobility and strength. She is kind, gentle and easy to talk to. Her personalised movement programs are easy to manage at home and she ensures that you are across each part before you leave her studio. Highly recommended for folks needing to work on their mobility, flexibility and fitness in a supportive environment - no matter your fitness level.
Tamara is both a scientist and professional exercise physiologist. I recently couldn’t even walk at time due to muscle constriction. However after just 2 sessions with Tamara I was walking again normally at her practice. Brilliant.
I have recently started the Barre class on a Saturday morning with Tam. And I'm absolutely hooked. Don't let the name put you off. I am no ballerina.. but this class with have your glutes activated for the whole. So much fun. Great upbeat music and Tam's programming keeps it so fun and challenging I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to strengthen their booty and improve their balance ❤️
Tam is one of the most inspiring, funny, friendly and very articulate instructors I've ever known. She manages to individualise the program to our specific fitness issues but also keeps us all moving forward together towards our strength and flexibility goals.
Southside Pilates is amazing! Tamara is both the most experienced and friendly practitioner I have worked with. Her knowledge of Remedial Pilates is outstanding and I would thoroughly recommend anyone thinking of either Pilates or requiring exercise physiology to seriously check this out. Individual programs are researched and adapted to such a high standard. Such a great place!
