If you're searching for Pilates in Mona Vale, you'll notice several class types available group, semi-private, and private sessions. But how do you know which one is right for you?
At Body Form Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates Studio, we offer all three. Each format is physiotherapy-led, meaning your program is backed by clinical knowledge and tailored to real-world bodies not generic exercise templates.
Here’s how to decide which option best suits your body, your goals, and your experience level:
🟩 1. Group Pilates Classes
Best for: General fitness, strength, tone, flexibility, energy boost
Max 6 clients per class
Our group Pilates classes use a variety of studio equipment like reformers, spine correctors, and jumpboards in a dynamic full-body workout. Every session is designed to improve core strength, posture, and control, with ongoing progression built in.
These classes are suitable for:
Clients with no significant injuries
Those looking for regular movement and strength
Anyone who loves working out in a motivating, small-group environment
✅ Most cost-effective option ✅ Easy online booking via our timetable✅ Perfect complement to your weekly routine
🟨 2. Semi-Private Pilates Sessions
Best for: Injury recovery, personalised attention, goal-based programs
Max 3 clients per session
Semi-private Pilates offers the best of both worlds small class sizes and fully individualised programs. Each client in the session works on their own rehab or progression plan, created by our physiotherapists after an initial 1:1 assessment.
Ideal for:
Clients with injuries, chronic pain or post-surgical recovery
Prenatal and postnatal clients needing modifications
Those wanting focused progression with close supervision
✅ Still social, but highly tailored✅ Ongoing tracking and support by your physio✅ Health fund rebates may apply for eligible clients
🟥 3. Private Pilates Sessions (1:1)

One client with one physio at a time
Our private sessions are true 1:1 clinical Pilates appointments, run by a physiotherapist. You’ll receive direct, uninterrupted guidance using our full range of Pilates equipment. These are perfect for clients with complex medical conditions, confidence issues, or those returning to exercise after injury.
Recommended for:
Clients wanting to build strength before joining a class
Those with neurological conditions or high injury risk
Anyone who wants expert attention and rapid results
✅ Tailored entirely to your body✅ Best for injury recovery, high-risk clients or beginners✅ Private health rebates available
