New Semi-Private Reformer Pilates for Expecting Mothers Arrives in Surry Hills

Sydney’s One Playground has launched a specialised semi-private Reformer Pilates program at its new wellness hub, Urban Oasis, in Surry Hills. The program is designed to support the physical well-being of expecting mothers and offers a structured and safe approach to fitness during pregnancy.



Tailored Pre-Natal Support in a Semi-Private Setting

The Urban Oasis wellness hub in Surry Hills has expanded its offerings with a Pilates program that bridges the gap between private coaching and larger group classes. The semi-private format allows for personalised instruction while maintaining the benefits of a small group environment, with each class capped at six participants.

Led by certified Pilates instructors, the program focuses on core stability, posture correction, flexibility, and pelvic floor strength, ensuring a safe and effective workout for pre-natal clients. The structured eight-week cycle provides a progressive approach, with exercises designed to support the body’s changing needs throughout pregnancy.

Why Expecting Mothers Are Choosing Semi-Private Reformer Pilates

The benefits of Pilates during pregnancy are well-documented, with improvements in posture, circulation, and back pain relief, as well as strengthening key muscle groups needed for childbirth and post-natal recovery. One Playground’s semi-private approach enhances these benefits by allowing instructors to provide individualised attention, ensuring that exercises are adapted to each participant’s fitness level and stage of pregnancy.

The program extends beyond pregnancy. It offers Align and Tone sessions available for post-natal recovery. These sessions target core rehabilitation, flexibility, and muscle recovery, ensuring continued support after childbirth.
