Ciara’s Pilates journey started with matwork classes, “I was looking for something to help my body move better after sitting at my desk and in my car for hours on end in my corporate job”. She did matwork Pilates for years until her sister told her about the reformer. She did two private sessions and then 2 weeks of unlimited classes and was hooked. She started her Certificate IV in Pilates straight away and then went on to study her Diploma of Clinical Pilates straight after. “Pilates taught me that I don’t have to be perfect, I don’t have to take the hard option, I can take things at my own pace. I learned to be intuitive and listen to my body as it would feel different each time I was in the room. Pilates taught me to exercise to feel strong, resilient, and empowered and to stop exercising to be thin or to look a certain way. I hope that I can help other people with their unique Pilates journey.” Ciara wanted to create a community within the fitness industry that welcomes you and celebrates you, exactly how you are, which sparked the birth of Empower Pilates in 2020.

Ciara is also a mum to a beautiful little girl, which you will see around the studio from time to time. “I am so proud that our studios are family friendly spaces, and we support and encourage parents to enjoy some me time as well as supporting our predominantly female team throughout their pregnancies and getting back to work postnatally”.

Ciara's classes will provide you with a full body workout utilising traditional and contemporary Pilates principles. Classes will also incorporate functional and stability exercises to train your body to perform more efficiently both in class and in your regular life.

Years later, Samina decided to start Pilates. It took her some time to take the plunge and join a studio, as she thought she didn’t have a Pilates body or that she wasn’t fit enough or strong enough. Turns out, she was. Turns out, EVERY BODY has a Pilates body!

Samina been told by many of her clients about how they have been intimidated to start Pilates and her passion is to help change that perception.

Samina is qualified in Clinical, Reformer and Matwork Pilates and continues to educate herself around movement using science-based evidence. “I want to help people move fearlessly and freely. In a class with me, we use functional and freeing movements that benefit your day-to-day life.” Samina’s classes celebrate what our bodies can do.

Losing her mother to Motor Neuron Disease (MND) in 2016 left a deep impact on Megan. Watching her mother's body deteriorate and lose its function made her realise just how important it is to love and care for our bodies—not for what they were at 16, 23, or 45, but for what they are right now. It’s about being present and appreciating your body in the moment.

Now, with three years of experience teaching Pilates, Megan is committed to helping others connect with their bodies, embrace movement, and experience the physical and mental benefits of Pilates.

She found and fell in love with Pilates during her second pregnancy. Alexis spent 9 months doing matwork Pilates, building more strength and flexibility than she ever thought was possible.

She first discovered Pilates two years ago to complement her riding and quickly fell in love with the way it strengthened muscles she didn’t even know she had — along with the physical and mental challenge it brings. Beaux enjoys leaving each class knowing she’s truly worked, and her goal as an instructor is to help others experience that same sense of connection, strength, and accomplishment.

Having attended classes at Empower for over a year, Beaux is continually inspired by the energy and sense of progress in the studio. Watching clients grow stronger and more confident with every session is what motivates her most.

A country girl at heart, Bianca lives on her family farm with her husband and two boys. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll often find her getting her hands dirty helping out around the farm or riding motorbikes with her boys.

Bianca brings her love of strength into her Pilates classes, with a focus on strength-based movement while challenging balance, stability and control.

Her favourite part of teaching is seeing that moment when a client finally masters a movement they’ve been working towards. She loves watching clients recognise their own progress, feel proud of what they’ve achieved and discover just how strong and capable they are.

As a mum and FIFO wife, Steph understands how precious a little time to yourself can be. She knows that for many parents, their Pilates class might be the only hour in the day that’s just for them. That’s why she puts so much care into making sure their children are settled, comfortable and having fun, so parents can enjoy their class with peace of mind.

For Steph, one of the most rewarding parts of her role is hearing children say they don’t want to leave at the end of a session. To her, there’s no better compliment than knowing the little ones have had such a lovely time that they can’t wait to come back.
