Mind & Body: Reformed in Mission Beach has six reformers in her fully air-conditioned studio
Whether you're 16 or 86, a fitness enthusiast or someone who hasn't exercised in years, Alicia Roelofs has a place for you at Mind & Body: Reformed in Mission Beach.
And she's particularly keen to encourage more men to discover the benefits of reformer Pilates.
"Everybody gets the same benefits," Alicia said.
"You improve your posture, your core strength, your muscle strength and muscle definition."
Alicia recently invited clients to bring their partners along for a free class, with some of the men surprised to discover just how challenging Pilates can be.
"I think they have this image in their mind that it's really easy. But it's actually not!"
With just six reformers in her fully air-conditioned studio in Mission Beach, Alicia keeps classes small, friendly and personalised, adapting exercises to suit different ages, fitness levels and abilities.
Her oldest regular participant is 83 and attends the popular Mobility and Movement classes, designed to improve flexibility, posture and strength without placing unnecessary pressure on joints.
Other options include full-body circuits, toning, jump classes, stretching and myofascial release, with new strength training classes planned from mid-November.
But what really sets Mind & Body: Reformed apart is Alicia's flexibility.
Can't find a class time that suits? Bring your own group together!
"If I had six men who wanted to come along on a Wednesday at six o'clock, we could organise that," Alicia explained.
The same invitation extends to groups of friends, workmates, sporting teams and teenagers. Whether it's a regular weekly session, a four-week introduction or training tailored to a particular goal, Alicia is happy to explore arrangements that suit everyone.
With Christmas approaching, she's also encouraging friends and work teams to consider a Pilates or relaxation session as something different for their end-of-year gathering.
Regular classes run Monday to Thursday, with Saturday sessions offered according to demand. Casual bookings and flexible class packs mean there's no need to commit to the same time every week.
