Your closest Soul Athletic studios
Sandringham (your closest studio)
Shop 2, 11 Waltham Street, Sandringham VIC 3191
Sandringham is about a 10-minute drive from Brighton, depending on traffic. The train is just as simple. Sandringham is the last stop on the Sandringham line, and from Brighton Beach station it is two stops: Hampton, then Sandringham. Waltham Street meets Station Street right at the station.
On two wheels, the Bay Trail runs beside Beach Road from St Kilda beach around the bay towards Beaumaris. That makes the ride from Brighton mostly flat and off the main road. Sandringham station has a car park and bike parking nearby, so check the signs for time limits before you walk to class.
We are open Monday to Friday from 5:15am to 8:15pm, Saturday 7am to 1pm and Sunday 8am to 12pm. Classes here are capped at 12 reformers.
Elwood (your second option)
83 Ormond Road, Elwood VIC 3184
If you are heading north, Elwood suits you. Take the Sandringham line towards the city and get off at Elsternwick. The studio is about a 10-minute walk from there, in the Ormond Road village. Elwood classes are capped at 10, and there is two-hour street parking along Ormond Road.
Which class to start with
Start with Reformer Flow. It is our most common first class, and instructors talk you through every movement. After a few Flow classes, many people add Reformer Strength, which uses spring tension and hand weights and builds up slowly. Reformer Active is for intermediate to advanced clients: a faster class with a little cardio and a possible jump board. It isn't a beginner class.
If you like to finish before the workday starts, weekday classes begin at 5:15am.
