No doctors referral is required to start Cadence Pilates. All Intro Sessions and ongoing classes are supervised by a fully qualified, highly skilled physiotherapist or Certified Pilates Instructor.

A Cadence Pilates Intro Session starts off in our consulting rooms or studio space (if available). It is an individual assessment containing a detailed subjective examination exploring general health, body metrics and discussing specific goals for undertaking Cadence Pilates. We will teach you the 5 key elements of Pilates and introduce you to the reformer. There are outcome measures that we use to ascertain physical capacity and assist with measured progression over time. Find out more about the Cadence Pilates Intro Session HERE or if you’re ready to book your Intro Session, you can go ahead and book that at our Dernancourt Pilates Studio HERE or at our St Peters Pilates Studio HERE.

Cadence Pilates offers a unique form of exercise and goal setting approach. We believe that if we have direct knowledge of your current capacity, we will be far better placed to help you achieve your goals and gain greater benefit in regard to health, strength and fitness.

Cadence Pilates promotes individual and group based progression. We aim to encourage one another’s progression by focusing on individual goal setting and progressive change, rather than comparison to one another.

Each membership is billed on a fortnightly basis. When you sign up initially there is a minimum spend of 4 weeks total at the rate of 4 weeks of your membership. Once the minimum spend period is finished the membership may be cancelled at any time.

Active exercise wear is most appropriate for Cadence Pilates classes.

We recommend Pilates socks (which are readily available at our studio) as they allow best feedback through the feet for proprioceptive feedback mechanisms.

Non-slip Pilates socks are recommended as there are certain movements during most classes that require a non-slip sole. We have Pilates socks readily available for purchase at our studio, so you’ll never be stuck without a pair.

Cadence Pilates is goal focused and has regular reviews of your goals helping you stay motivated to achieve your goals. Trained and specialised physiotherapists have an advanced understanding of anatomy and physiology, as well as goal setting and progressive exercise. We do our absolute best to promote ongoing accountability to exercise and lifestyle change.

The Cadence Pilates Intro Session is best undertaken whilst in good physical condition. However, rehabilitation is a common reason for undertaking Cadence Pilates. Our highly skilled physiotherapists are experienced with injury and rehabilitation, and will provide advice on the right time to commence Cadence Pilates.

During the Cadence Pilates Intro Session our physiotherapists will examine any old injuries and provide advice regarding self management. An understanding of these injuries from the expert perspective of a physiotherapist will help address correct form and also provide adequate and appropriate boundaries for exercise prescription and supervision within group-based classes.

The Cadence Pilates Intro Session is designed to assist us in understanding each individual’s exercise capacity and boundaries. It is our physiotherapists role to gently push each member’s boundaries to allow growth and progression without going too far beyond their exercise capacity. Therefore we reduce injury risk. However, whilst rare, injuries do occur. The benefit of having a highly trained professional physiotherapist running each class is that they can clinically reason in the moment and make a highly informed decision in the moment on whether or not a particular member should continue the workout. Conversely, they can provide injury management advice in the moment to help reduce pain and dysfunction.

A Pilates reformer is an apparatus including a carriage, springs, pulleys, footbar and frame. Whilst it may look hard to use, it has fantastic variety and diversity. Along with our specialty demonstration and instructive teaching methods, you will progressively improve and become an expert of the apparatus over time.

Cadence Pilates has 4 Pilates studios that vary slightly in size, all being fully equipped as first class Pilates reformer studios, located in Dernancourt, St Peters, Golden Grove and Port Adelaide, serving the Adelaide CBD, the North Western and the North Eastern Suburbs of Adelaide.

One-on-one classes are available. However, there are more limitations on time as it will require booking individually with our Cadence Pilates physio team for certain classes. Check out our great information on 1:1 sessions HERE.

Cadence Pilates is an all-round body workout. We have some classes that are more driven to muscle growth and strength, however all classes will grow and develop muscles.

Cadence Pilates will improve core activation and strength in men. Decreased flexibility, increased muscle tension, over developed global muscle systems and lower back pain are common dysfunctions within the male population. Cadence Pilates promotes improved flexibility and dynamic mobility aiming to reduce pain and improve core function.

Cadence Pilates will help improve foundational core muscular systems, increase upper body strength and tone, rehabilitate abdominal core muscles and improve pelvic floor activation, promoting dynamic mobility and stability. Check out more information HERE.
