Bringing Convenience to Pilates

I meet a lot of people who WANT to do Pilates, but aren’t able to commit. Number one reason why? Convenience. From stay at home parents/parents-to-be, to those working long hours or strange hours Kirsti Pilates to You (KPTY) is about bringing the convenience back to fitness. I supply everything you need- you just supply you!

  • Your Home: I come to you- and bring all the props and tools necessary for your class

  • My Home: Prefer to use machines like the Reformer? Come workout in my home studio

  • Virtual Group Classes: every Saturday via Zoom

  • In-Person Group Classes: every Friday morning after school drop off at Moorabbin Primary School

Bringing JOY to Pilates

No matter what class format you choose, I promise you’ll have fun. We’ll work out your back aches, your shoulder niggles, your stress, and when those things go away, you’ll have more opportunities to do the activities in life that bring you joy. When you can experience more joy, you feel calmer, kinder, happier, more balanced and fulfilled— on AND off the mat!

Bringing YOU to Pilates

KPTY works with clients of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re tight from your golf game, or hypermobile from years of dance. Whether you’re suffering an injury, or pregnant, or postpartum. Whether this is your first class or your thousandth class- there’s a space for you here!

Meet Kirsti

In my old life, I worked nearly ten years in an awesome Government role where I was sure I would make my way up the corporate ladder, collecting sick leave and long service leave, have some holidays and do the standard work/life thing.

I was a longtime client at a Pilates studio at the time (as a lover of dance and movement my whole life, I was hooked after my very first Pilates session!) and my teacher would often say that I’d make a great teacher. I would laugh and scoff to myself at the idea of this. I’d worked my butt off to get this corporate job and I wasn’t going to “throw it all away” to wear leggings all day.

It was after an organisation-wide restructure that I started to (seriously) evaluate what I wanted from my professional working career. I always knew that I wanted to have kids and do more Pilates, and the teacher’s schedule suddenly looked more appealing to me family-wise.

I took the leap.

Fast forward several years and I quit my corporate job, completed my 600-hour classical Pilates teaching certification, had two sons (Maddox and Levy), and started KPTY.

I built my business out of my own experiences of finding it hard to get out of the house and do exercise once I had kids. I strongly believe that Pilates is for everybody, and I wanted to do whatever I could to take the guesswork and hassle out of it for my clients, whether they be stay at home Mums and Dads, corporate employees working long hours, or retired grandparents.

I’ve now been teaching Pilates for close to ten years, and while there are good and bad days (as all small business owners and mothers know!), I wouldn’t trade what I’m doing for anything.
