Common Ground Studio

Fantastic experience: I have been happily attending common ground for the past year, and I genuinely look forward to every single session. The trainers are incredibly dedicated, knowledgeable, and always friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the door. It truly feels like a warm hug going into the studio! The workouts are challenging in the best way possible—the burn is like no other!. Common ground is the answer for everyone looking to improve their strength, flexibility, and overall well-being in such a supportive and lovely environment!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Common Ground for almost 2 years and love it! The instructors are amazing and the other members couldn't be more welcoming, friendly and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Commonground enough! Starting here as a complete newbie, I fell in love quickly with the instructors and Pilates! As one who has never been a fan of group exercise, I can safely say I’m attending three times a week religiously and love every second of it - well not the scooters, but almost every second!

Fantastic experience: Common ground has a welcoming atmosphere where the instructors are knowledgeable and attentive, providing personalised guidance so we all get the most out of the session. The instructors plan their flows thoughtfully with a mix of strength, stability and core with plenty of “pulses” and “holds” I appreciate the focus on form and alignment to make sure im doing the exercise right. The classes have a sense of community, full of support, laughter and chat. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Common Ground pilates studio! The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and provide excellent guidance throughout the class. The workouts are always challenging yet adaptable to all fitness levels. I've noticed a huge improvement in my core strength and flexibility since starting there. The studio is clean, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their fitness routine

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Common Ground highly enough! The space, instructors and community are absolutley amazing.

Fantastic experience: I have been absolutely LOVING reformer Pilates with Common Ground Studio. It’s great how the exercises are increased with layers, which means the classes cater to everyone’s ability. I’ve never stuck with a workout routine for this long before, so it’s a testament to how amazing the instructors are!

Fantastic experience: I won a giveaway Common Ground were doing a couple years ago on Instagram and I am so glad I did. I’ve always been a bit intimidated by group fitness classes so it was the push I needed to go and I’m hooked now!! I go four times a week and I enjoy it so much I miss it on the days I don’t go. All the instructors are great and so encouraging and motivating (and just lovely people). I love how they are so inclusive of all different fitness levels and stages of life, I’ve been while pregnant and postpartum. Definitely recommend, but warning, you may become hooked!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the Common Ground Pilates Studio classes - especially the Tuesday 6am with Jess. Initially joined for recovery following an injury, but it's now a weekly event. Really appreciate how there are always options during the class depending on your ability but that there is motiviation to push yourself that little bit harder. Have even arranged a private class with family and friends to hopefully inspire them to - that was so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and welcoming studio that is run by inspiring and passionate women. Always walk away from the a session feeling so good.

Fantastic experience: Love Common Ground pilates - great instructors and different classes each time I go!

Fantastic experience: The best vibe in this studio! I was a little nervous going on my own but i soon realised after everyone being so welcoming there was nothing to be worried about!! I look forward to my classes every time and absolutely love how time, effort, training and love Kate and Jess have put into this spot! Truly suits its name commonground so much

Fantastic experience: A welcoming space and instructors, good vibes and no judgement. Come as you are and the instructors will adapt movement to suit your needs and abilities.

Fantastic experience: You guys totally rock! ❤️ It’s the most enjoyable exercise class I have ever done, tried many gyms over the years, this is hands down better than any of them, the lovely coaches really make it as fantastic as it is. They push us to challenge ourselves, as well as correct us and make sure we are doing the exercises correctly, not hurting our backs or neck. I’ve noticed great changes with my aging body, I plan on sticking with it for as long as I can :-)

Fantastic experience: I'm new to Pilates but I have loved my journey so far with Common Ground Studio. The instructors are all very friendly and welcoming. The support for newbies is awesome and the environment is lovely too. I'd thoroughly recommend this studio.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending the Mum’s and bubs class on a Tuesday! Absolutely love it! There isn’t many things you can do for yourself as a Mum and take baby (fitness wise), it’s great that Jess and Kate can provide this. Suits all levels as they do a beginner version of the exercise and then add an intermediate level if you feel up to it. I appreciate that they take the time to learn your situation and where your at with your fitness and pelvic floor (especially after birth). Jess and Kate are both professional, kind, caring, knowledgeable and are helpful with the babies if you need help or they need a cuddle. The studio has a great layout and vibe! It’s such a great place to go! I’ve been loving my classes. Thanks so much ladies, you’re incredible! Keep doing what your doing, Abby x

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Common Ground a year ago when i was trying to gain back strength and get to know my postpartum body after 2 kids. The schedule fits in with toddlers and daycare, my body is challenged every single session, each instructor is so attentive and kind. They can adapt to injuries/capabilities and all bring their own unique flair and fun to each class. I have found a little community that i never want to leave!

Fantastic experience: The best reformer studio ever! Absolutely love being able to keep active throughout my pregnancy, and feeling safe doing so!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love coming to common ground! I love the classes, the vibe and the teachers who are all fabulous I’m relatively new to reformer Pilates but the girls at common ground have made it so easy to figure out and now I couldn’t get through my weeks without my classes here. Definitely recommend popping in and giving it a try.

Fantastic experience: Why will I go back and recommend Common Ground? They are super friendly people and welcome you in with such a warm heart! Thankyou Kate for leading myself and my Dear Community Nelson girls for a beginner class. We all throughly enjoyed it and couldn’t be happier with how the class went! The Studio is very neat, extremely clean and very well done and designed! You definitely won’t go wrong joining these classes

Fantastic experience: I have struggled with exercise for as long as I can remember, and I had never gone to a group fitness class before. I built up the courage to take a class at common ground after seeing their Instagram page. All I can say is that I have never felt so welcome, heard and not judged in the slightest. Kate & Jess both individually introduced themselves, showed me 1:1 how to use the reformer, and re assured my anxiety! I never feel bad for taking a breather, and all the teachers are so attentive to each person. Thank you for introducing me to a form of exercise I love! ❤️

Fantastic experience: What first started off as rehab from an injury quickly became a twice weekly addiction! My body has changed for the better, in ways I never imagined! The variety of classes keeps me aiming for more and more complex and strength conditioning moves! The instructors are top notch and the members become like family.. what an absolute gem in the heart of Richmond! Thank you thank you to the incredible common ground team!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Common Ground my journey started about 2 years ago, as i suffer from MS I was a bit nervous about how I would go but the girls at Common Ground are all so helpful and supportive. It's been a huge help to me with my balance and strength of my muscles. Would recommend giving it a go no matter age or ability as the classes offer layers so it can be done to your ability and it's surprising the improvements that you make.

Fantastic experience: First time ever doing pilates and so glad I started at Common Ground. I just started off with the intro sessions to give it a go and I was hooked after my first session. Jess has been so welcoming and absolutely love her calm yet energetic vibe! I’ve also briefly met Kate who was super lovely too! Good vibes, great people, killer workouts. Highly recommend!
