Can I use all five Awaken studios?
Yes. Direct debit memberships offer access across Yanchep, Ashby, Mindarie, Joondanna and Greenwood. Your class allowance, access hours and included services depend on your chosen plan. Check your membership details in the app or ask our team before booking. Sauna is available at Ashby, Mindarie, Joondanna and Greenwood; Yanchep does not have a sauna.
Can beginners do Reformer Pilates?
Yes. You do not need Pilates experience to get started at Awaken. Our instructors explain the equipment and offer options so you can learn at your own pace. Start with an instructor-led class and ask our team to recommend a suitable first session. Let your instructor know you are new and arrive 10 minutes early. Class styles vary, so check the Class Descriptions page before booking.
What are the benefits of Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates uses a moving carriage, springs and straps to provide resistance and support. Classes focus on controlled movement, strength, balance, mobility and body awareness. At Awaken, instructors layer exercises so you can choose an appropriate challenge. Regular practice can support your fitness and give you time to focus on yourself; individual experiences and results vary.
What are the benefits of Yoga?
Yoga combines movement, breathing and time to slow down. Depending on the class style, sessions may focus on mobility, balance, strength or relaxation. You do not need to be flexible to begin. Check the timetable and Class Descriptions page to find a style that suits you, and let your instructor know if you need help with a position or an alternative.
Can I try classes before joining?
Yes. New clients can try one free class or choose 3 weeks of unlimited timetabled classes for $59.95. The 3-week trial begins with your first class. Download the Awaken Pilates and Yoga app, create your profile, select your studio and claim your trial. Eligibility and offer terms apply. Our Getting Started page explains the next steps.
How many times can I use the free trial?
The free trial class is available once per person. The 3-week trial is a separate introductory option for exploring classes and building a routine. Check the offer terms in the app before purchasing, or contact your studio if you are unsure about your eligibility.
What should I know before my first class?
Book before attending and arrive 10 minutes early so your instructor can welcome you and explain the equipment. Tell them you are new and mention any injuries, pregnancy or concerns before the class begins. Move at your own pace, follow the setup instructions and ask for help whenever you need it. If a movement feels painful or uncomfortable, stop and speak with your instructor.
What should I bring to class?
Bring water and wear comfortable activewear that allows you to move freely. Avoid loose clothing that could catch in the equipment. Grip socks are required for Reformer Pilates and can be purchased at the studio. We provide class equipment, although you are welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer.
Can I attend Reformer Pilates while pregnant?
Please speak with your healthcare provider about exercise during your pregnancy and contact your studio before booking. Let your instructor know you are pregnant so they can discuss class suitability and modifications with you. Each pregnancy is different, so a general class description cannot confirm whether a class is suitable for you. Ask our team to help you choose an appropriate session.
How do I book or cancel a class?
Use the Awaken Pilates and Yoga app. Create your profile, choose your studio and tap EXPLORE to find a class. Check MY BOOKINGS to confirm your studio, date and time. Your available class credits depend on your trial, membership or package. If plans change, cancel through MY BOOKINGS in line with your booking policy. Contact your studio if you need help.
How does 24/7 studio access work?
Eligible memberships include 24/7 studio access using your keytag, allowing you to use Reformer On-Demand outside timetabled classes. Off-peak plans have restricted access hours. Check your chosen plan for access times and inclusions. Ask our team to help you get set up before your first independent visit.
How does Reformer On-Demand work?
Choose a guided workout on a Your Reformer screen and follow the session independently in the studio. Screens are available outside timetabled classes, with no screen booking required. Access depends on your membership and permitted hours. If you are new to Reformer Pilates, begin with an instructor-led class and ask our team about getting set up.
Can I bring my children to class?
Children can attend our designated Mums (Dads) & Bubs classes. There is no age limit, including during school holidays. Bring something suitable to keep them entertained. Children remain under your care and supervision while in the studio. Check the app for available Mums & Bubs sessions at your preferred location.
How do I book an infrared sauna session?
Sauna is available at Ashby, Mindarie, Joondanna and Greenwood. In the Awaken Pilates and Yoga app, select your studio and switch from classes to private sessions to find sauna bookings. Follow the prompts to choose your session. Access and booking conditions depend on your membership or package. There is no sauna at Yanchep.
