OUR TEAM

CHELSEA SLATER

STUDIO MANAGER | INSTRUCTOR

  • Movement on the reformer to me is more than just exercise. It is a tool for strengthening your body, improving flexibility, ROM and enhancing overall mindbody connection. 

  • I love a lunge. If you haven’t noticed! Lunges are a highly effective exercise & when using a reformer the options are endless. Lunges target multiple different muscle groups, improve balance, stability, mobility, they enhance our functional strength and so much more. Keep lunging! 

  • When I was 19 I moved to London & lived there for 3 years! I’ve also travelled to about 30 countries, so if you need any travel recs or advice I’m your girl. I love dogs & I’m getting married in August woo.

DANI CABRERA GUTIERREZ

INSTRUCTOR

  • It’s never the same. We don’t feel the same every day, and I love that the reformer reflects that. It gives you space to explore ~ some days you need strength, some days control, or just a moment to reconnect. It’s a different experience every time, but the challenge always finds you.

  • Plank ~ always, and side plank better. But I love a good drop set and combo ~ heavy legs into light burns, or the kind of upper body flow that makes you question everything mid-set. I love building intensity and watching clients surprise themselves by pushing through.

  • I came to Australia enrolled to become an engineer, then passed through finance, and ended up with marketing - which I now practice and love.

INSTRUCTOR

MIMI MEKDARASOUK

  • It’s the slow and controlled movements for me and the options to make it work for our bodies (heavier or lighter). I love the total body workout the reformer can give you and slowing down those movements really helps with that mind/body connection. 

  • Sphinx push up is my favourite move to teach and do in class! I love seeing the progression of my regulars as they get stronger and stronger each time we do it in class and seeing the satisfaction when they really nail the move. 

  • I’m a big reader, particularly romantasy, so any recommendations you have please let me know!

INSTRUCTOR

KATIE CROFT

  • Movement on the reformer—and in any form—is expression to me. It’s a space to explore, play, and feel strong, while also cultivating stillness in my mind. It’s my biggest form of therapy—an outlet to process, reset, and reconnect with myself. 

  • I love teaching what I love to practice—anything for tummy or side tummy strength is a favorite. But my true joy is weaving movements together, whatever they may be, and watching people find their flow as they connect their movement dots. Laying the building blocks, then giving my clients the space to explore them freely at their own pace, is always rewarding.

  • My expression extends beyond Pilates. I also freelance in content creation, modelling, and hosting movement, food, and lifestyle events. I’ve also worked in childcare and support work.

EMMA JENNINGS

INSTRUCTOR

  • Pilates was the first form of exercise that truly clicked for me. It’s no longer something I have to do—it’s something I want to do. The reformer challenges me while also giving me space to slow down, focus, and feel connected to my body. It grounds me, energises me, and I feel like the strongest version of myself, physically and mentally.

  • Anything with a scooter is a favorite of mine! The slow, controlled burn through the legs is unbeatable, and I love how it combines strength, balance, and endurance.

  • I moved around a lot growing up because of my parent’s career. It taught me how to connect with new people easily, which is something I love when it comes to teaching pilates.

INSTRUCTOR

SARAH RICHARDSON

  • Personally, it’s a love affair. I fell in love with reformer Pilates immediately. I’m not very coordinated but I could follow the movements on the reformer  

    It’s challenging yet achievable but at the same time it continues to ask yourself to go little further, a little more precise, challenge yourself even more. 

    I also love how reformer has evolved from Joseph Pilates’ original set repertoire to incorporate other forms of movement, especially functional movement. Plus, reformer Pilates is now accessible to many, which is amazing.

  • Hmmm this is a tough one to answer. 

    Bent leg/straight leg kickback series on the box. It works every single muscle in your body and questions your will to live. 

    Equally love teaching a multilayered core series. 

  • I can’t ride a bicycle.

INSTRUCTOR

MAISY LAM-PO-TANG

  • The reformer allows for intentional, creative movement which is so crucial for my productivity and mental health, and I love sharing this passion with others! The reformer is simultaneously a place to decompress and challenge myself. I love classes as the energy of the Peak community is so welcoming and invigorating. 

  • I love a plank series! When I first started practicing pilates, I detested planks, but have learnt to love and embrace the challenge. It’s still a love/hate relationship though!

  • I’m two years away from becoming a lawyer!

INSTRUCTOR

JESSICA JUGOVAC

  • Movement on the reformer means to me, a full body, high intensity workout with lots of fun and energy. I love when my clients leave class shaking and when they’ve gotten a sweat on.

  • My favourite move to teach on the reformer is a side standing series, layering standing splits, squats, scooters, and of course lots of pulses. I love this because there’s so much variety to it, allowing us to combine the movements and use props like hand weights, the magic circle or the small ball.

  • I am ACT’s representative for the Croatian Women in Leadership Youth Network.

INSTRUCTOR

BEK LYONS

  • Movement on the reformer means exploring different ways to make my body and mind stronger and having fun while doing it!

  • Planks to pikes/knee tucks.

  • I have 2 beautiful (but naughty) dogs - a Frug (French bulldog x pug) named Manny and a miniature dachshund named Archie.

ASHLINA CACHIA

INSTRUCTOR

  • Movement on the reformer is about intention. The intention to slow down, move with purpose, engage our body and breath while moving into areas of our body that other disciplines don’t always have the ease or ability to access and refine.

  • Standing side splits is a personal favourite to teach as it encourages clients to embody both control and mindfulness of Pilates. Incorporating breath, body and purposeful movement while being part of clients’ confidence and progression in both balance and strength is encouraging.

  • I am studying to be a Psychologist.

DANI WATSON

INSTRUCTOR

  • Reformer is the foundation of every other activity I do. When I practice regularly, I feel stronger, I have less muscle soreness or running injuries and I’m more focused overall.

  • I love planks - any and all variations. When done right they challenge so many muscle groups. My favourite way to cue plank is to squeeze everything really tight, hold on and pray!

  • If I’m not teaching Pilates, I’m running. I completed my first full distance marathon last year and I’m training for another coming up later this year.

LING TONG

INSTRUCTOR

  • Movement on the reformer, to me, is more than just physical exercise. It connects my body and mind. The rhythm of breath and movement lead to a sense of calm focus, much needed after a long busy day in a clinical workspace. 

  • All sorts of lunges. From static to arabesque to curtsy lunge.

  • I work in a clinical setting during the day.

YIKKY CHAN

INSTRUCTOR

  • It means a whole body challenge, including challenging the brain so that I am intently listening to cues and coordinating my movements as described by the instructor!

     

  • I love teaching running man planks to members who have never done it before, it can seem quite scary when you try it for the first time but everyone ALWAYS surprises themselves (and it’s a whole lot of fun).

  • You know how there are those people that are just good at everything? Well I always tell people I’m actually bad at everything hehe
