Feel The Burn At The Gold Coast’s Best Pilates Studios

If a Pilates class could be couture, L’Atelier Flow would be it. This reimagined Burleigh studio is where effortless movement meets understated luxury, blending breezy coastal energy with a certain je ne sais quoi — think beachside chic with a Parisian soul. Under fresh management and a refined new brand vision, the studio has expanded its offerings, welcoming a team of expert instructors who each bring their own specialty to the mat (and the reformer). With a newly stacked class schedule, including the much-anticipated Reformer Pilates sessions, this is the spot for sculpting, lengthening, and moving with intention. First-timers, take note: the Intro Pack (five classes for $50) is the ultimate steal — particularly for those visiting the coast for the weekend and craving a luxe-yet-accessible Pilates fix. Consider L’Atelier Flow your new sanctuary of strength, style, and seriously good movement. 

Essentials Studio is more than just a studio — it’s a lifestyle. Just a short walk from the beach, it’s the ideal spot to kickstart your morning before heading out for a beach walk and a post-burn coffee. The warm, tonal brown hues in both the reformer and mat studios set a up beat, inviting tone. With expert instructors and a diverse class offering, the studio is as stylish as it is welcoming. Whether your after a strong spicy flow in Essentials Reformer or Burn, something more powerful in Power reformer or Strength or a full body work out in Jump reformer and Barre there’s always something to keep your routine fresh and exciting. The dynamic mix of high-energy, low-impact classes ensures you’ll never hit a plateau. With the studio already in high demand, Essentials is expanding — watch for a second location opening in April at Chirn Park in Southport. It’s easy to see why Essentials is a must-try on the Gold Coast.
