For some, exercise is a great way to let off steam, for others, it’s simply a way to keep in shape, but for members at Rauform Pilates and Fitness, exercise is about more than just fitness – it’s about community.
Opening its doors in May this year, Rauform burst onto Adelaide’s fitness scene with its core values at the forefront of everything they do. Because Rauform isn’t just another Pilates studio, it’s a family.
“Absolutely everyone is welcome,” says owner and head trainer, Sandy Rau.
“I wanted to create a space where people of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels could come and feel completely at home with no judgement, and feel comfortable and supported by those around them.”
The brand-new, custom-built studio has been specially designed to accommodate those of all fitness levels and features not only reformer pilates machines but also a boxing, weights and cardio section – which are used in a number of the ‘fusion’ classes that combine the best of all the facilities at Rauform.
With 15 years of experience in the fitness industry behind her, Sandy has developed a sense of what her clients want and endeavours to provide this and more at Rauform.
“I’ve really focused on what the client wants because, at the end of the day, that’s who it’s all about. Some people embark on a fitness journey because they want to change something but a lot of people are also searching for somewhere they fit in and a community, so Rauform is like a home away from home.
“This space is also somewhere that people can come to rediscover who they are, their passions and to find themselves. Fitness helps us to get stronger not just physically but also mentally.”
Based in Walkerville, Rauform sits atop the health-focused eatery, Yolk Café, so you can properly refuel post-workout, adding an extra element of community by having somewhere to connect with other Rauform members.
Sandy and her instructors are trained professionals who take the time to listen to the individual needs of their clients. Whether it be injury, fear or wanting to target a specific concern, the biggest thing for Rauform is connecting with their clients and helping them achieve their goals.
Rauform Pilates and Fitness is located at 40 North East Road, Walkerville
