Meet the Pilates Instructors Who Put You First

Delivering consistently High Quality Pilates by getting to know you and your needs.

Support That Goes Beyond the Mat

At Silverback Studios, we do things differently, and we’re proud of that. Our studio is built around the idea that connection comes first. By keeping our classes small, our Pilates Instructors can really get to know you, your body and movement patterns so they can offer personalised guidance each and every time.

Our team is highly qualified, continuing to learn and stay up to date through collaboration workshops, our Polestar Pilates partnership, and industry short courses. Every cue, every touchpoint, every class – backed by knowledge, delivered with care.​

What Sets Our Pilates Instructors Apart

Experience the Silverback Studios difference.

Change happens through movement that aligns to your body’s needs and goals, in a supported environment. One size does not fit all. That’s why our classes are small, and all of our Pilates Instructors are fully trained, so you can be confident you’re in safe hands.

We offer more than a workout, we offer a community where we build strong, long lasting relationships. We coach, check in, adjust and explore what’s happening in your world regularly.

It’s care. It’s commitment. It’s the Silverback Studios way.
