Studio Founder Gina had been teaching Pilates for several years as “Precision Poise”, establishing a reputation as a trusted Pilates teacher and pregnancy & postnatal specialist. Teaching in the community and from her garden, Gina always wanted a dedicated studio that could offer a truly comprehensive approach to Pilates.
This opportunity arose in late 2023 when she was contacted by fellow Pilates teacher, Claire, with an exciting opportunity. Gina and Claire have known each other since the early days of their careers and share a similar vision. The opportunity at Lavant House helped them realise they are stronger together and by collaborating on this opportunity they could create something truly special.
Gina’s solo business Precision Poise became Be:Poised Pilates Ltd, and together Be:Poised Pilates and Pilates with Claire opened the doors to the Pilates Studios at Lavant House in June 2024.
The studios are a collaborative journey shared between our two Pilates businesses. We operate separately, yet being in the same building allows us to work collaboratively on studio development, special events and referrals.
Since opening, our studios have continued to grow and develop. Investment in new apparatus has resulted in our studios being potentially the most comprehensively equipped Pilates studios in the area, with Reformers, Towers, Cadillac, Wunda Chairs, Arm Chair, PediPul, Ladder barrel, spine correctors and other smaller classical equipment all available.
Be:Poised Pilates has grown, welcoming in two new teachers to be part of our team and fostering a supportive and active approach to ongoing training and development for our teachers.
We adore our beautiful studios, and the incredible Pilates community that has developed here.
