Kind words

  • Hilarie K

    I have been seeing Melissa for over two years on a regular basis at ARC studios and attribute the management of my hip and knee pain to her excellent work. I feel stronger and more confident in my movement.I have found her attention to detail and ability to respond to changes in my body and general well-being at each session as well as her clear direction very supportive and helpful. Melissa manages her classes effectively with humour and humanity. I highly recommend her as a Pilates instructor. 

  • Julie Hines

    I went to Melissa at ARC Pilates in Preston when I had a lower back issue. She was so good with me I have stayed with her for over 2 years of Pilates classes. If you are looking for someone who knows her stuff and is a knowledgeable instructor, then Melissa is your go to. She can help with injury recovery, general fitness at all levels and strength and balance for mature people. I am a young 69 yrs and haven't felt this good about my body in years.

    LIFE CHANGING!!

    Mel is a brilliant pilates instructor but also a brilliant person. Her ability to read the situation and understand individual needs has made a massive difference to me after 20+ years of pain and significant back surgery. If you are a beginner or advanced in the world of pilates you couldn't find someone better to cater to your individual needs.

  • Simone

    Melissa is an incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable pilates instructor, providing a safe, fun and comfortable space to move your body. I recommenced my pilates practice with Mel after experiencing occupational burnout and she just knew exactly what my body needed, always listening and asking how my body feels. I can feel my body improving each week after feeling stiff and tight for so long!

PILATES FAQ’s

  • The Welcome Pilates Consultation consists of two 1:1 sessions for $222, valid for 1 month. These sessions are designed to create a personalised Pilates experience by assessing your goals, addressing any injuries or requirements, and performing a movement analysis to identify your strengths and areas for improvement. This ensures that your ongoing Pilates sessions are safe, effective, and tailored to your needs. Booking these sessions first sets the foundation for a successful and customised Pilates journey.

  • In a 1:1 session, you'll work exclusively with an instructor, receiving personalised attention and tailored exercises to address your specific goals and needs. In a 2:1 session, you'll share the session with another client, still benefiting from individualized instruction but with a focus on shared goals and accountability.

  • The best format depends on your preferences, goals, and budget. If you prefer individual attention and a fully customized experience, a 1:1 session may be ideal. If you enjoy the motivation and camaraderie of working with a partner or friend, a 2:1 session can provide a supportive environment while still offering personalised guidance.

  • Absolutely! We can pair you with another client of a similar skill level and goals. Many clients find that working with a partner adds an extra level of motivation and enjoyment to their Pilates practice.

  • During both 1:1 and 2:1 sessions, you can expect a comprehensive workout that focuses on core strength, flexibility, balance, and overall body conditioning. Your instructor will guide you through a series of exercises using Pilates equipment such as the reformer, mat, and props, tailored to your individual needs and abilities.
