These classes are great for improving your core strength and stability while enjoying an effective general workout. Before you start, a private session will introduce you to the concept of body awareness and to ensure you enrol at the appropriate level.

The classes are progressive.

Gentle: this is for you if you have an injury or wish to work at a gentle, basic pace.

Intermediate: you are already familiar with basic Pilates principles. Small equipment and exercise balls provide extra challenge.

Advanced: you are accomplished at Intermediate level and have no acute injuries.

PreNatal: this class is specific for those during pregnancy. Exercises have been chosen and modified to focus on strengthening, stabilising and stretching the areas most needed for pregnancy, labour and post birth.

Individualised programs are highly beneficial because they are designed to meet your specific needs, capabilities and body type. Whether you are injured or not, you will achieve increased flexibility, strength and stability so that you can live your life better. Your program will be monitored and adjusted as you progress which is also perfect for people who are keen to get back into exercise safely.

You begin with a full body assessment and two or three private sessions to become familiar with your individual program before joining group sessions. A class size of maximum 4 people ensures affordability PLUS the individual attention and feedback essential for the safe execution of exercises. Learning how to move, and where to move from, is vital to injury prevention and rehabilitation. Small classes led by physio’s are safer and more effective.

Our Pin Point Program Instructor is a Physiotherapist: Professional expertise in biomechanics and injury ensure that your exercise program is structured to achieve optimal results for your individual needs. The courses are graded so that you build your core foundation and confidence first, then gradually progress to more challenging exercises to keep you motivated and challenged. We integrate the latest scientific research on low back pain with core stability and injury management with some of the concepts of the Pilates Method.

The Pilates (pronounced pee-lah-tes) method, created by Joseph Pilates in the early 1920’s, focuses on the stability and strength of the spine – particularly through developing control of the deep abdominal muscles.

Health fund Rebates: unlike standard Pilates classes, Physiotherapist-run classes are eligible for health fund rebates under extras cover. For Private Health Claims, the PinPoint Program is claimable under your Physiotherapy cover.

NBP is proud to offer Beefy Bones, a program designed specifically to increase bone mineral density and improve long-term health outcomes for adults aged 50+. The program runs for 4 months and is grounded in the best available research from large clinical trials.

This program focuses on three evidence-based pillars of bone health:

1. Adequate Vitamin D intake – to support calcium absorption and bone metabolism
2. Adequate calcium intake – the key building block for bone tissue
3. Structured resistance training – the most effective exercise mode for increasing bone strength

Our goal is to help you build stronger bones, increase muscle mass, improve balance, and reduce your risk of falls and fractures. These factors are strongly associated with lower all-cause mortality and better functional independence as we age.

Translation: you get to enjoy a better quality of life for longer.

Prevention is better than cure, and we’re here to set you up for success.
