Aimee is the founder of Revive Pilates. She is passionate about creating an inclusive fitness space where everyone can feel comfortable, empowered and achieve a more confident relationship with themselves!

She has been teaching Pilates since 2019, though, not a stranger to teaching after 19 years of dance instruction, owning and operating her dance studio for 6 years in Darwin. Originally from the UK where she grew up in the dance world, receiving full time tuition at a professional dance college before moving over to Australia. Her background has allowed her to integrate elements of movement, grace, and artistic expression into Pilates teaching, so Pilates was such a natural transition!

Aimee's teaching style focuses on empowering clients to connect with their bodies, deepen their mind-body connection, and foster a sense of mindfulness and self-awareness. She prioritizes proper form and alignment, while also encouraging clients to listen to their bodies and to challenge/modify exercises as needed to prevent injury and promote a safe and effective workout.

“What I love to do in my downtime – Spend quality time with my family and doggo.”

Enas is one of our Reformer & Clinical Instructors who’s classes are mindful, calming, progressive & focus on bringing awareness to the true technique of Pilates we all know and LOVE!

"I first discovered Pilates In searching to find a movement modality that would deepen my connection to my body. My love for the practice became a desire to learn more, and so I undertook a diploma with PITC completing my Mat work, Reformer and Studio qualification over the course of two years; It was a consistent Pilates practice that enabled me to deal with my own injuries at the time.

Since first beginning to teach in 2022, I’ve been delving more deeply into the mechanics of the human body and its capacity to heal. I'm especially interested in the dynamics of breath, and how this harmonises with movement; I hope to share all that I’ve learnt with those I teach, empowering clients with a richer understanding and awareness of their own bodies.”
