This is a long overdue posting but I wanted to leave a review for women in Adelaide looking for a…read morefun and inspiring way to change their bodies and find that great lift tone and burn without the arduous task of going to a boring gym. Let me preface this review by saying I am a San Francisco based Pure Barre teacher and I was seeking a barre studio that would allow me to continue my practice during one of my many trips to Adelaide. I tried what few places were available in the area and out of studios that I tried Inner Strength Pilates & Barre studio had to have been my favorite. Maybe I am a bit biased because it did remind me of my own barre studio at home, in that it had high energy music and a quick pace that allowed you to build your strength while of course getting your heart rate up and providing good cardio at the same time. The teacher was motivating (even though it was early in the morning!) and although the class was only me and another women she handled the small size well, being particularly attentive of our form and technique (which of course provides the best results). The terms did seem a bit dance heavy which could be intimidating to those (like myself) with no dance background and little to no rhythm. But fear not! because those are simply the terms they use to help set up the exercise, the actual work requires no dance background or rhythm in the slightest. The best thing about barre is it is fun and distracts you from the pain of working out. Instead you're lost in the music and the motivational cues from the instructor and before you know it the class is over and you're already thinking about the next time you'll be able to come in. The next day I felt delightfully sore! Two weeks of regular classes I'm positive you would start to see results. I only wish I had gone to a few more classes because I can imagine that a full class would have wonderful energy. It would be nice to see some kind of package deal for regular clients. Perhaps an autopay set up that provides unlimited classes for a discounted rate. I would definitely be signing up for that right away! (Plus when you're paying a higher price for these classes you're always more motivated to go regularly and get bang for your buck!) I also really regret not trying one of the pilates classes. I am a regularly client of a reformer studio here in San Francisco and it would have been great to see how those classes compare too. I guess this just gives me another reason to check the studio out next time I am in Adelaide. Coming from an area where the boutique fitness studio market is WAY over saturated it sometimes can be difficult to find a studio that is up to par with the many offerings we have in SF. However, I am confident when saying Inner Strength Pilates stands out a league above the rest.

I had an unforeseen injury and they fit me in within 6 hours which was unexpected but awesome. The very nicely outfitted office space is snug but serves its purpose. The receptionist was friendly and helpful and not easily distracted when dealing with the customer in front of her. A quality i rate highly. The actual appointment attention to detail was professional and courteous. Not that i expected anything less. They also run pilates classes on site too and have Saturday morning appointments. If you're unlucky enough to need physiotherapy i highly recommend PPP. I cant speak for the pilates side of things (yet!) But i hear they're also top notch. Located conveniently next to a large carpark, a cosy coffee shop and supermarket and a chemist within stone's throw.

As a girl of larger girth - the idea of a gym with men in it - and the idea that other women trying…read moreto impress those men might be in it - intimidates the hell out of me. Having a Women's gym eliminates the stress of everyone trying to impress each other and allows for a supportive, feminine environment which can cater directly to the female mentality and physique. Fernwood St Agnes is a little gym, but with a lot of knowledge and a good balance of varied activities. They have two rows of treadmills with individual Foxtel TV's as well as a giant TV (set to a music channel) at the head of the room. There are two cross trainers, two steppers and many different types of stationary bikes and there are a few rower machines. The small room next door is dedicated to personal training and the equipment looks quite scary until you know how it's used. They provide yoga, Pilates and the Les Mills training programs. Their weights room have free weights, machine weights, steps and bikes for spin classes. Fernwood provides a weight loss service, personal training a creche, breakfast supplies and nice change rooms with a massage chair. This place is small but quite well formed - I just don't enjoy - and never have enjoyed the business sales pitch at the beginning. Be very wary - Fernwood can be quite expensive. If you're motivated enough (and they genuinely want you to be), Fernwood has the ability to change your lifestyle.

I attend the classes run by Sharon each Tuesday night. I used to do Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga many…read moreyears ago with another studio, and have recently decided to take it up again due to the health benefits, and also as it clears my mind. The style I attend is Hatha, and the classes are different every time as the teacher adapts the classes to those who are attending. You do not do a set routine each time, and personally I find this more interesting because I like to have it mixed up a bit. The thing I love about yoga is that it is about your body and your personal limits, there is nothing more satisfying than feeling your body click into place more each time you attempt a pose than last time you tried it. Sharon is very encouraging as a teacher, and calm, she respects the limits of every class member and makes everyone feel good about what they can do. She leans more towards the spiritual side but there is no chanting, which is fine by me. Each class will have as many as two or three meditative periods, and I find that at the end I feel very light and experience a wonderful sense of calm and wellbeing. I often find that if I practice yoga for any period of time my core strength improves markedly, and I have better posture and can breathe easier. All this and leaving class each Tuesday night as if I have just had a relaxing full body massage for only $16 a session, is certainly a bargain in my book.
