During these challenging times to help you maintain good health, fitness and rehabilitation we now offer our services online. We provide a number of services from Teleheath online consultations. Our talented Pilates instructors will support you 7 days a week.

Online Telehealth Consultations

One-on-one online Telehealth consultations start but are not limited to 15 minutes. We can see each other face to face to discuss your programs, demonstrate the exercises and hold individualised exercise sessions for you. We’ll also support you with pre-recorded videos which demonstrate the exercises, technique details and where appropriate alternative exercises. The fee is $20 per 15 minute blocks.

Etiquette for online group classes

Some etiquette for these online classes to ensure you and others enjoy your group sessions:

  • Before the class starts, you can unmute your microphone and say hello

  • To avoid any disruptions during the class, all microphones will be muted and ensure your video is switched off

  • Pin the instructor so that their video feed is in view and full screen. Hover over the picture of the instructor, 3 dots will appear at the top right of the picture, click these, in the drop down menu that appears, choose 'PIN video'

  • At the end of the class you will again be invited to unmute your microphone and say goodbye

While Zoom works across different devices such as phones, tablets, and Windows and Mac laptops or PCs, the quality of the picture and sound will be much better from a laptop or PC as a mobile phone may be very small and the sound quality much less.

You are encouraged to test Zoom used it before to ensure you are fully setup prior to your class. You can follow this link to join a test meeting which will go through the process to ensure you have the right app installed and test your microphone and speakers - here.
