In a city where pilates studios are popping up faster than coffee shops, standing out is no small feat. But @pilates 24/7 Unley isn’t just another mat-filled room with mood lighting and a screen. They’re flipping the script on what modern exercise looks like with the launch of a tech-powered, human-led, and 24/7 studio on Saturday!

“We didn’t want @pilates Unley to feel like just another faceless 24/7 studio. While the flexibility of being able to work out whenever you want is amazing, we knew real connection was still key,” says co-owner Coco, who runs the studio with husband Lachlan.

The idea to bring the hybrid concept to Adelaide came from personal experience juggling mum life with pilates. As a new mum, Coco found the traditional class model nearly impossible to keep up with.

“If something has to go, it’s often the thing that makes you feel good. When I came across this concept, it just made sense — the flexibility, the independence, the support. I knew Adelaide needed this,” she says.

“That’s why we love the hybrid model. The freedom to move on your terms, with the comfort of knowing someone’s always around to guide you.”

The way @pilates Unley works is simple. It’s $45 a week for unlimited classes, and members have access to one-of-a-kind technology that allows them to make their own profile, choose their class, track their progress, and move at their own pace.

It’s also the only pilates studio in the country with a fully customisable digital program, and has specially curated classes for every stage of your movement journey, whether it be for pregnancy, postnatal, recovery, strength, entry level, or advanced.

“Our classes are designed by a team of professionals in physiotherapy, osteopathy, exercise science, and women’s health,” explains Coco.

“With expertise in pre and post natal care, rehab, and strength training, every class is intentionally programmed to be safe, effective, and supportive.”

Once you’ve committed to exercise, the natural first step is to set a goal for yourself. But if you’re not a fitness guru, sometimes knowing how to reach the goal is the biggest challenge. That’s why @pilates Unley is doing all the (metaphorical) heavy lifting for you.

As part of the onboarding process, they walk you through how to tailor your experience to your goals – strength, mobility, postpartum or just building a consistent routine.

“Our portable instructor pods recommend classes that align with your goals, and can track your sessions and progress right from your profile. But it’s not just digital – our studio facilitators are always available during staffed hours to offer extra guidance,” adds Coco.

The same way a clean room helps you study, a modern space to move and connect studio is an easy motivator to get your body moving and stick to your fitness goals. @pilates Unley is just that, a studio best described as “calm, uplifting, and beautifully designed – somewhere you actually want to spend time in,” with soft muted tones, high ceilings, and a warm and welcoming design.

If you’ve been looking for a way to make movement a non-negotiable in your life, this could be your sign. Whether you’re wrangling kids, working late, or just trying to squeeze in time for yourself, fitness needs to fit around your life, and @pilates Unley have made it easy for you. Plus, you can still get in a few laughs between lunges with the friendly staff.

Doors officially opened over the weekend, and according to Coco, this is just the beginning. Expect more events, more community, and more ways to move.

“It’s pilates like you’ve never experienced before – tech powered, human-led and made to fit your life.”
