STRONG Pilates The Bays

Fantastic experience: Did my first Strong Class at The bays yesterday. LOVED IT!!!! Great concept, love the vibe in the studio, our instructor Ellen was fun, gave really clear instructions as it was my first time she was the perfect person to teach me how it all works. Will be back next week for more.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the workouts and the community here. These are the noteworthy points: Dim lighting No clocks 45 min sessions Row or bike based cardio (or no cardio- my face kind of cardio) Instructors are helpful and skilled and proactive in coming over to reposition you, where needed! TV screen showing the moves Friendly people Cold towels for after workout Totally recommend- but please don’t all join up or I might find it difficult to book in for the class I want to go to!! Thanks STRONG Pilates The Bays- I’m feeling stronger already!

Fantastic experience: I Absolutely love Strong Classes! Best Class I ever done! I love that in 45mins i get the cardio and strength training! Best way to start my day! The Team is all super friendly!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it here. Chris and the team are awesome and its become a morning routine we look forward to and it really sets us up for the day. Classes are always varied, challenging and exciting. Well done guys!

Fantastic experience: Didn't take long for me to become addicted, I'd struggled with back pain for years since having children and within about 6 weeks I was pain free. I've managed to tone and get back to my old self which I never thought would be possible. The app is incredibly user friendly and can always get the spots I need with full flexibility. Trainers are awesome and a well kept studio and equipment. Since joining under 4 months ago, ill be clocking 100 classes this week!

Fantastic experience: absolutely love Strong Pilates The Bays. The team is so welcoming, supportive, and motivating. Every class is challenging but fun, and the instructors always take the time to help you improve your form. The studio has such a positive vibe — I always leave feeling stronger, refreshed, and ready to take on the day. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build strength and confidence! ✨

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! The classes are amazing and the instructors are so nice and extremely helpful. Always feel so good after a strong class

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome vibe in the studio, really gets you motivated to work! Music always brings the energy and awesome instructors who are always willing to help! The cold towel at the end is also great after the workouts.

Fantastic experience: I can’t rave about it enough! Nearly 3 years and 500+ classes later, and I still love it! The environment, classes, instructors and results are all so good.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic variety of workouts, really love it here. Strong week is a real highlight

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to STRONG for two years now, and it’s hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made! The instructors are knowledgeable, motivating, and always bring good energy to every class. The studio itself is spacious, clean, and really well set up. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Strong Pilates is the ultimate mix of cardio and strength training which is so important for us ladies! The Bays studio is so easy for parking and has plenty of space in studio so you don't feel squished in like you can in other pilates studios. Highly recommend if you're looking to start your fitness journey....or for a challenge for the more seasoned gym goer.

Fantastic experience: Great workout and amazing staff! Recommend this to anyone who enjoys the combination of pilates and cardio in a session. Planning to keep going to STRONG in the long run!

Negative experience: I attended Strong The Bays for over 100 classes and really enjoyed the workouts and some of the instructors. However, my experience with their customer service was shockingly poor and ultimately led me to leave. As a mum of two young kids and suffering from chronic migraines, I found the membership schedule wasn’t flexible enough for my needs. When I tried to change from a membership to individual class pack, I was met with cold, unsympathetic responses. Despite being able to provide strict instructions from my specialist about my condition and the need to stop exercising until we had finished the new course of treatment I was trying (2 months), there was no compassion or flexibility offered. This all happened 6-8 weeks ago, and I’ve been holding off on writing a review to make sure I wasn’t overreacting. Unfortunately, after talking to other mums who were also interested in joining, I feel it's important to share my experience. I even reached out to Head Office customer service, only to be redirected back to the same person, with responses that felt automated and impersonal. It was deeply disappointing. It's such a shame because I really loved the classes, and the two female instructors I had were fantastic. But the lack of understanding and poor customer service has left a bad impression and just know that if you're dealing with a personal situation, you might not get the support you're hoping for. I wouldn't recommend the studio based on that experience.

Fantastic experience: We had an epic team session at Strong - The Bays. The staff were super accommodating and looked after us, the class was fantastic - Our group age range was from mid 20s to mid 60s and everyone loved the same session and got a lot out of it. Found the classes and instructors really easy to follow as a first timer, will definitely be back soon. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales

Fantastic experience: Love the strong pilates classes at the bays a great mix of classes and also great they have early morning options to fit around different schedules. Highly Recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Strong Pilates classes for the past two years. Recently, I tried other pure Pilates studios, but nothing compares. Strong offers a true 360° workout, combining elements of cardio, strength, and flexibility into the Pilates practice. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Always feel so good after, the instructors are lovely and omg the cold towels at the end. Pure bliss x

Fantastic experience: One of my absolute favourite workouts! Such a great mix of strength and cardio, and the classes are constantly changing!

Fantastic experience: I have only recently started going to strong pilates but have absolutely loved my experience and will continue to come along to classes. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about it! The staff are friendly and the facilities are clean and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: A lovely studio with great teachers. I love the variety of exercises and how workouts also include rowing and free weights. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I am a part time concession member here I love the fact that they have many deals and challenge weeks to suit me to get the most out if the classes. I love the workouts and have seen a change in my gym workouts since joining. Thanks Stong!

Fantastic experience: No class is the same which I love, I always finish the class feeling like I’ve been challenged in some way. Great tunes to keep you motivated and no matter how full the class is, the instructors always manage to give feedback or encourage you.

Fantastic experience: I have gone from couch potato to never missing my daily 6:00am class. The studio, the music, and the lovely instructors all give my day a great start and for the first time in years I am feeling strong again!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this studio, each class is different, instructors are super friendly and professional. The best thing I've done for myself in ages. Thanks STRONG :)

Fantastic experience: NEVER AGAIN would I go to any other Pilates studios other than Strong. The workouts are challenging but in the most rewarding way! I genuinely feel stronger and more motivated than ever to improve my fitness. Great trainers and vibes. PS this is coming from someone who doesn't like to workout.

Fantastic experience: Choose Strong The Bays if you.... - Want to be challenged physically each day, without fear of injury - Need access to a range of workouts at different times of the day, 7 days per week, that suit your busy schedule - Find yourself easily bored and need a fresh workout each day to keep you motivated and excited to turn up the next day - Enjoy working in a lovely, clean studio with excellent equipment and friendly, supportive instructors - Enjoy a mix of optional challenges throughout the year to keep you on track These are the reasons I choose Strong and keep turning up 4-5 times per week! Thanks for helping to make me the strongest I've ever been and keeping me injury and pain free!

Fantastic experience: Started at strong about a month ago and wow I am in love. The team are super friendly and every class HITS. Guaranteed to leave you sore in the best way possible and would recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio and instructors! Love the energy and classes. The rowformer machine takes Pilates to a whole new level! Definitely will get you stronger!

Fantastic experience: Different to the usual Pilates reformer classes. More upbeat, energizing music and the addition of the rowing machine brings a bit more sweat to the workout. I like that the classes alternate between full body or targeted ie. Lower or abs based workouts. They also offer Pilates only classes which I love when my muscles are feeling sore!

Fantastic experience: I had my wedding in June in my hometown and wanted to tone up before my wedding so I signed up for Strong - best decision ever as I got so many compliments about the glow up I had and felt the best I’ve felt in a while I’m not someone who is disciplined enough to go to gym and go through a routine myself so this is the perfect option for me. There are screens that demonstrate the movements so the trainer has time to go around and correct us, the work outs make you sweat and we get a cold towel after the workout which makes me feel super bougie. #glowup #selfcare

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Strong The Bays for just over a year and absolutely love it! The instructors are great and the work outs are amazing. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Strong Pilates is a great full body workout Cardio and strength. The instructors are helpful and the cold wet facecloths at the end are always welcome for cooling off.

Fantastic experience: STRONG is the best! From the variety of different classes you can do, the amazing instructors who are so encouraging and the music and vibe! 10/10 recommend - give it a go!

Fantastic experience: An addictive mix of pilates, strength, and cardio, great music, and inspiring instructors. Supportive community + real results — you’ll be hooked from day one ❤️

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say I have finally found a workout and a location that I love and works for me so perfectly. Every class is dynamic and challenging - all the instructors are so lovely and not intimidating like you can get in other studios in AK. Its only been a month so far so i'm looking forward to seeing how strong I can get :)

Fantastic experience: Love these classes!! Great workouts and awesome instructors who are super helpful at teaching you the right techniques. I book via class pass - which is super great as it works with my variable work schedule. Have been going for 3 months now - first time I've stuck to something this long in years! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I recently took advantage of the intro offer at Strong Pilates and have since committed to a 20-class pass. Before having my son, I was very much into Crossfit, working out 4-5 times a week, but after giving birth, I realized that returning to such an intense regimen wasn’t an option. I needed something more controlled and gentle, but still effective. The variety of classes keeps things interesting, and the coaches are not only skilled but genuinely supportive. The best part is, it's local, so it fits perfectly into my routine. After just 9 classes in the past 3 weeks, I can already see changes in my body, and my back pain has significantly improved. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and give it a try—you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Always such a satisfying challenge when I go to a STRONG class. This studio is huge so even if the class is full it doesn’t feel cramped. Love the scented wet towels they offer at the end of every session! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an engaging workout that pushes you to your limit!

Fantastic experience: Wow! I found STRONG Pilates when I was recovering from a foot enjury. Surprisingly it smashed my expectations In a great way. I found STRONG and fit instructors who cares and check our posture during the exercises. I was glad for being able to exercise and being helped to avoid new injuries while getting stronger. I have been in Strong Pilates for 45 days now and the changes in my body are very noticible my 6 packs are on the way. Already saying "Hello"to me. The studio is clean. The instructions exceptional, New equipments and a refreshing town at the end. Perfect and close to home. Thanks Strong Pilates.

Fantastic experience: Just joined last week and right into Strong Week already. Don’t be intimidated, the workout is hard but not impossible. The workout always end with everyone puffing but smiling, love the environment and the people who attend, such support. Always look forward to the cold towels after a great workout

Fantastic experience: I started STRONG The Bays in October 2023. It is the best gym I have ever been to. The combination of cardio, strength, balance and stability work has truly helped to transform my body. I am down 7kgs in body fat and have gained muscle. My balance, core strength and stability are the best they have ever been. I love that the classes change so I don't get bored and that there is always room for progression. I have met a great bunch of women that all support and encourage each other. I LOVE IT ❤️

Fantastic experience: Fab, fun and challenging workout in a super nice studio. Trainers give heaps of guidance and really care about technique. Been going for a year and it’s made a massive difference to muscle mass and tone Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Just completed day 2 of Strong week, Strength+ class… Strong has enjoyable and fantastic classes and instructors. Offers great full body workout. Have been going to Strong for 18months now. Totally would recommend.

Fantastic experience: STRONG The Bays is hands down the best place to work out! I’ve tried a lot of different fitness routines, but nothing keeps me coming back like STRONG. My favorite class is Loaded Lower—it's the perfect mix of intensity and focus that leaves my legs feeling stronger every week. The variety in the workouts, especially the balance between low impact, strength, and HIIT, means I get everything I need in one place. The atmosphere is always motivating, and the instructors really know how to push you while keeping the sessions fun. Plus, the cold towel at the end is such a refreshing touch that I look forward to every time & it’s so aesthetic so mirror pics are the best! If you're serious about getting fit and staying consistent, STRONG The Bays is where you need to be!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Strong Pilates The Bays for over a year now, and I can't say enough good things about it! As a proud member of the 5am club, I love starting my day energised and focused. The early morning sessions are invigorating and leave me feeling strong and accomplished before the sun is even up. Not only have I noticed significant improvements in my core strength and flexibility, but my overall posture has greatly improved as well. The team of instructors is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always providing personalised tips and encouragement to help me reach my fitness goals. If you're looking for a workout that challenges you while also promoting mindfulness and body awareness, I highly recommend Strong Pilates The Bays. It's truly transformed my approach to fitness, and I look forward to every session! ✨

Fantastic experience: If you want to get fit just sign up for a membership at STRONG. It’s the perfect mix of low impact, strength and HIIT so I get everything I want in one place. I never miss a week of working out because I love to get my moneys worth hehe. I was only going to keep my membership during my wedding prep but it’s the ONLY workout that’s kept me consistent. Now I’m about 40 weeks in and I’m not planning to stop anytime soon! (Also you get a cold towel at the end of your workout, I dont why but I just love that)

Fantastic experience: 20+ Classes in and I LOVE ‘Strong’. The classes are challenging but really fun, I can feel myself getting stronger every session. The Strong team are very professional, they know their stuff and they take the time to help with individual needs. The studio is awesome the layout, the music, the wind-down area, all perfect. The ice cold towel at the end of the session is a great touch. I love the row-formers and adding the cardio element to the Pilates. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: Feeling very strong after this strength class. It was a tough one but amazing to get sweaty and fit. The instructors at Strong The Bays are super friendly and encouraging. They continuously walk around the room to help with form/positioning while doing the exercises. They are clear with their communication during the class and what exercise is up next. Highly highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a dynamic Pilates class Strong Pilates is going to be the one for you! I felt every single Strong class I’ve attended offered a variety of movements and you also have the option of focusing on various parts of your body which keeps each session interesting and challenging. No class is the same and you always walk out feeling great and accomplished. The instructors are so friendly and welcoming which is a huge bonus, and I have to say the playlists are fire! I’ve been going consistently for the past 4 months and love the Strong community and the way everyone celebrates each others success on their Pilates journey

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the STRONG Pilates The Bays studio for a little over a year now.
