Middle Park is about 3 km from St Kilda. Tram route 96 runs from Acland Street to Middle Park station, on the corner of Canterbury Road and Armstrong Street, in around ten minutes. Bus route 606 also stops on Armstrong Street near Danks Street. The studio is upstairs, so expect a short climb.

Which class to start with

Book Reformer Flow for your first class. It is a 45-minute full-body class that teaches the basics and keeps things low-impact. After a few sessions, try Reformer Strength for slow, controlled work with weights. Reformer Active is a faster class with a little cardio, for intermediate to advanced clients.

Not sure about the pace? Tell your instructor. They will set up your springs and show you each move.
