Balance Moves is by far the best studio in the East, not only for their variety of Pilates Barre, Mat, Arc and reformer but because the teachers and staff are extremely positive and inspiring. Balance Moves is welcoming and inclusive, accommodating all levels with patience and professionalism. A+++

We attended a series of virtual pilates sessions with Renee during the COVID lockdown and they were absolutely brilliant! Renee was very professional, the classes were pitched at the right level and suitable for all abilities. We look forward to the studio re-opening so we can attend in person. Thank you Renee!

Great class. Great instructor. Renee has made the most out of a difficult time. I am grateful to be able to attend her classes even though I am in a different state. That would not have been possible previously. Look for the silver lining - it is there - just harder to find sometimes. Thanks Renee

I've been coming to Balance Moves for several years now, and love the classes and the way they are taught! My personal favourite is Barre Attack (especially taught by Holly!), which is always intense and leaves me feeling like I've had a really good workout. I also love popping into an Arc Pilates class, which is great for someone like me with a history of back and hip alignment issues.

This is the place for your pilates and barre workouts. Caring, friendly, enthusiastic instructors that not only push you but make sure you are staying true to the technique. Definitely should try.

Balance Moves is my go-to workout studio. Home to the sweat-inducing Barre Attack, and with a great variety of other classes focusing on your Core, TRX and strength, pilates and alignment, I cancelled my gym membership after I tried the Intro pack here. Trainers also also really attentive and make you work hard!

Balance Moves is a wonderful studio with excellent pilates and barre instructors. We felt very welcome from the start and loved the positive and enthusiastic atmosphere. We came in as beginners, left as addicts, and can't wait to come back when we return to Bondi from overseas.

I've been a Pilates devotee for 10 years. I started coming to Balance Moves last year to try the Barre Attack classes. I'm completely addicted!!! Renee and her fantastic team of instructors are knowledgeable, expert and passionate about their work. I feel fitter and stronger since going to Balance Moves. Love it!!

After years of doing yoga and suffering numerous aches and pains my Physio suggested I try Pilates. I started off doing basic mat classes and have worked my way up to doing Barre Attack (or as I fondly call it Heart Attack) and Core Attack. After 4 years of regular classes and at the ripe old age of 43 I finally feel like I am in control of and comfortable with my body. Renee and her team of amazing instructors (Holly, Gosia, Carolina) are all wonderful, it doesn't matter what level you're at, they are constantly watching and improving your technique. Now I'm too scared to stop as I'm convinced
