Have you been looking for a fresh way to get outside and get active this summer? Well, you’re in luck! Henley Beach has welcomed a new crew to its shores, as every Saturday local pilates studio, Spring will be heading down to the beach to host a weekly free pilates class.
Spring is not just your regular pilates studio. Through a combination of reformer pilates with the attention to detail of a PT, Spring’s group fitness style classes create an environment that is lively, welcoming and a place to kick goals.
“We first opened a studio in Stepney in 2021, and then we expanded into Goodwood the following year and a year ago we opened a studio in Henley,” shared owner Harrison.
“Our first business was a nightclub. We started ‘Loverboy’ when we were younger, but we’ve gotten a bit older now and sold it about a year ago. When Covid hit we couldn’t open the club, so instead we opened a Pilates studio.
“We also own ‘Nauti Buoy’ the cafe in Henley, so we always wanted to figure out a way that we could combine the two together. We know that pilates is a luxury for a lot of people, and we understand that not everyone can afford it, but we think that everyone deserves to have a chance to feel their best, so we saw this as an opportunity to give back to the community.”
With the studio, Nauti Buoy, and the beach at the team’s disposal, these ‘Sandy’ classes were a no-brainer. Plus, these classes are totally free and run on the weekends.
“We wanted to put it on Saturdays to make it as accessible as possible.
“These classes are for anyone and everyone. Usually, we’ll have a couple of trainers there as well to show everyone how to do it. I think it’s a really great intro to Pilates, we’ve been getting 150 plus people attending, so no one looking at you, they’re there to have fun.”
Harrison shares that all you need to bring to the free sessions is a towel to use as a mat. Plus, if you fancy a dip in the ocean after the session it’s sure to come in handy.
“Bring a towel, water, and your friends. The more the merrier!”
These sessions will be running every Saturday, with a few weeks off in February, at 7:30am on the shore down from Nauti Buoy.
