Powerhouse Pilates Centre

Highly recommend Ellie and Rachel at Powerhouse Pilates in Highfields. I call this place my “happy place”. It is where I can enjoy some ME time. I am a busy mother of 3 and also working in an office environment. My work involves sitting behind a computer for most of day so my body does stiffen. So I always look forward to my sessions every week, to give my body some TLC. If Pilates is something you are thinking about, please don’t think any longer, go try it for yourself, YOUR BODY WILL THANK YOU! xxoo

I needed to do some exercises and had heard about Pilates,so thought I would give it a try .We had moved from NSW where I had been doing Pilates and I was looking for a pilates studio and found Ellie Bee as it was known then.I love the people who come to the classes ,everyone is caring towards each other and sometimes we just need to have people who care around us .Ellie in particular is just a great instructor and really cares about each and every client.I had a knee replacement nearly 12 months ago and was back at Pilates 8 weeks later this was possible due to the fact I was fit from Pilates and the rehabilitation from Ellie was amazing. I would definitely recommend Powerhouse Pilates to anyone .Shirley Paff

I highly recommend Powerhouse Pilates studio in Highfields. I have been going there on and off for over six years. My physiotherapist recommended Pilates (and Powerhouse Pilates Centre in particular) for some hip pain I was experiencing and I haven’t looked back since. Any time I have a niggly or persistent body pain, a few sessions with Ellie sorts me out. And just my regular weekly classes have me feeling so fantastic! I’m 47 and I feel stronger and more agile than I did in my 30’s!And to top it off both Ellie and Rachel are so lovely and highly qualified at what they do!

I have been attending Powerhouse Pilates for over 7 years. I have suffered neck and shoulder pain my entire life and have been able to alleviate this pain by attending two classes a week. Incidentally I have a much stronger core and the physio gives me the same exercises! Aside from all the physical benefits, I love the comedy and enjoy my time with the other Pilates regulars (family).

Ellie and Rachel are both amazing instructors. I had never done pilates until seeking out Powerhouse Pilates. They made me feel very comfortable and still continue to work with how my body copes and reacts to the various movements. I have minor ailments but I find that pilates is helping with that too. The studio is local to where I live, is very clean and fellow attendees are very friendly. Highly recommended.

Advised to start Pilates by my Physiotherapist and I commenced classes with Powerhouse Pilates as their website was very informative and user friendly. The studio has a calm atmosphere and classes are relaxed and pressure free but extremely effective with both teachers providing great support and professional advice throughout the entire session. Having just returned from a long break from Pilates due to a 7 month road trip, I now really appreciate the benefits of attending regular sessions. I'm looking forward to feeling strong and pain free again having re-commenced classes.

Powerhouse Pilates has made a significant difference to my wellbeing. The two Pilates instructors are friendly and professional. Ellie, the founder, sets a high standard and her later appointed colleague, Rachel, continues in this way. Commencing with 3 one on one private lessons as an introduction , I moved on to a small group (3 - 4) reformer class. At 77 years of age I am able to feel strong and confident, with good balance, so important to prevent falls. The social aspect is important too. The banter before and after class with other clients makes it fun. I highly recommend this vibrant Pilates Centre.

This place has changed my life. I’ve done Pilates before, but Ellie is a true Pilates instructor. She is kind, caring and really targets what you need. I feel strong, confident and my imbalances and so much better. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

I have done solo and group sessions with both Ellie and Rach. Let me assure you, both these ladies are top notch teachers. They are patient, kind, thoughtful, empathetic and extremely good at what they do...making bodies move better and feel great. The Powerhouse Pilates Centre is the best equipped studio I have ever seen. I love the intimate feel and personalised approach these ladies have to making sure you keep motivated time and time again.
