EXPERIENCE THE FOCUS DIFFERENCE
all bodies welcome | individualised instruction | traditional pilates method
FOCUS conducts classes and appointments for all ages, abilities and needs. We currently work with students ranging in age from 15 – 87, in various class types. There is definitely something for everyone at FOCUS!
Focus Pilates and Massage has a kindness always ethos in a friendly atmosphere, often with a little fun thrown in. Banter and encouragement between students during class is welcomed. Bullying or body type comments are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
We look forward to hearing about you – your body challenges, quirks, changes and of course improvements that may have occurred since previous sessions. We want you to share how your body is feeling - before, during and after classes which helps us to tailor programs that work for your body and suit your needs.
Discussions about progress, achievements and goals are built on realistic expectations. Remember, results are also based on what you are doing outside of the studio.
Our mission is to provide high-quality, professional Pilates training drawing from the Traditional Pilates Method as originally taught by Joseph Pilates. We FOCUS on intentional, individualised instruction delivered with integrity by a knowledgeable, highly qualified professional whose goal is to inspire others, just as she has been inspired, to the life changing benefits of traditional Pilates for mind, body, core, spine, strength, stability and co-ordination.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY….
"I first started seeing Brooke for her Pilates classes. This came after my Rhabdomyolysis incident in my legs. My legs were so weak I had lost all the muscles, I found walking a challenge especially up stairs and my energy levels were very low which lead me to sleeping a lot in the day. Brooke really helped get me back on my feet by working with me to gain my strength and stamina back. I can now walk without any troubles and we are working towards getting me back running. I’ve found working with Brooke absolutely amazing, she is really passionate about what she does, her knowledge is second to none, always researching to find new ways to help you! She’s very attentive and in tune to your needs and is always making sure you’re OK. Love every part of work with her. Thank you Brooke I’m forever grateful x"

"Three months ago I couldn’t walk to the other end of my house without pain. Today, on Mother’s Day I took my three kids and walked about 4 kilometres to a lookout and back... Pain free!! I haven’t been able to walk, jog, swim or go to the gym with my injury. Pilates has been the only safe exercise I’ve been able to do. It is purely thanks to Brookes weekly class (and that sharing of knowledge in between!) that has got me to this point. Today I felt strong and like my body was able to hold itself together. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to feel like that. I can’t recommend Focus enough. I still have a way to go, but am confident Brooke can get me there and get me there safely."

"When a change in life circumstances led to me giving away long ocean swims 4 days a week, and then suffering from a bout of bursitis of the hip, I was recommended to a Pilates mat class being offered at a practice in Ulladulla. It was there that I met Brooke, who ultimately became Focus Pilates and Massage. Brooke has changed my life with her knowledge and enthusiasm. I am 72 years of age and after attending Brooke's mat class for 2 years now I can honestly say that I feel 20 years younger than that. Through Brooke's guidance and with her astounding knowledge of the body structure and how the body works, I feel fitter, stronger and more energetic and supple than I have ever felt in my life. As well as leading her class through an hour of sometimes challenging poses, strengthening muscles we didn't know we had, she also has a warm and caring way and a wicked sense of humour which makes the classes fun to be in. It is my intention to attend Brooke's mat classes for as long as I am physically able which I'm hoping will be for many years to come."
