full-body workout that ties in with your physical and psychological well-being. ‘F’ stands for functional, because every element has been designed to work together—for more purpose, less pose. ‘S’ is for style, remixing Pilates, tone, and yoga in a way that’s never been done before. ‘8’ represents the 8 key elements that form the core of FS8.

Focusing on either the upper or lower body, the Xtreme Pilates classes are only 25 minutes long – perfect for busy types who want a solid workout but in a shorter amount of time. 

5.  Premium Performance | Windsor

Housed in a beautiful loft above Chapel Street in Windsor, Premium Performance is one of the top Melbourne Pilates studios.
