Exciting news – A dedicated Reformer Pilates Studio is coming to PARC

We’re thrilled to bring you some exciting news. A dedicated Reformer Pilates Studio is coming to PARC! And for our Full Access members, access to the new Studio will be included as an additional membership benefit.

Where is the Studio?

We’re transforming our former childcare space into a welcoming, boutique-style Reformer Pilates Studio, complete with brand-new beds, state-of-the-art equipment, and an expanded timetable of instructor-led classes. The studio will also offer virtual and on demand Reformer Pilates.

How can I access the PARC Reformer Studio?

Access to the PARC Reformer Studio will be included in your Full Access membership at no extra cost.

Reformer Pilates is one of our most in-demand services, and we’ve heard your feedback – it’s hard to book into classes.

That’s why we’ve taken the time to redesign how we deliver Reformer Pilates and created a purpose-built space just for this service. This is a major step forward in creating more space, more access, and more of what you love here at PARC.

And now, we’re thrilled to confirm that from Thursday 29 May, all Full Access members can enjoy unlimited access to the new PARC Reformer Studio – at no additional cost.

What’s in the new PARC Reformer Studio?

  • A boutique, purpose-built Reformer Pilates space
  • 16 brand new beds, along with new industry-leading equipment
  • 10 additional instructor-led classes each week (now offering 43 live classes each week)
  • The PARC instructors you know and love delivering the expanded timetable
  • 4 signature PARC Reformer formats: Foundation, Cardio, Strength, and Athletic
  • Unlimited Virtual Kiosk Classes (bookable on 7 beds) – attend anytime that suits you
  • Unlimited On-Demand Access sessions (bookable on 9 beds) – attend anytime that suits you
  • PLUS all your usual benefits including access to the pools, gym and other Group Exercise classes

When is this happening?

The new studio will open on Thursday 29 May, with class bookings opening for members 3 days prior, on 26 May, as per your normal group exercise booking process.

What else is changing?

  • From 29 May, all current Reformer classes will move from Studio 2 to the new PARC Reformer Studio downstairs. An additional 10 classes will also be available on the timetable.
  • Studio 2 will continue to deliver your favourite class formats like Mat Pilates, Barre, Yoga, and Body Balance. Plus, we are including 6 additional classes as well as new formats like Les Mills Shapes, designed to accommodate more participants per class to maximise access.
  • We are reviewing the overall Group Exercise timetable to ensure that the class times and formats continue to meet member and community needs.

What do I need to do?

If you’re a Full Access member – there’s nothing you need to do. Just enjoy this exciting new Studio as part of your membership benefits.

If you’re on a different membership or not yet a PARC member, chat with our team about upgrading to Full Access so you can experience everything the new PARC Reformer Studio has to offer.

Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

Next Friday, on Friday 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:
🔌 Protect mental health
🔌 Raise awareness to prevent suicide
🔌 Support vital education and awareness programs

Last year, more than 134,000 people took part, proving that sometimes the most powerful connection is offline. This year, SmackTalk is aiming to reach over a million participants in Australia and around the world.

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

Restart a Heart Day at PARC this Saturday ❤️💙

Join us this weekend, on Saturday 18 October, for Restart a Heart Day, a vital community event that raises awareness about cardiac arrest and empowers people with lifesaving CPR skills. 

Hosted by Monash University Paramedicine, this educational pop up in PARC's foyer will help build a safer, more prepared community.

Did you know that only 1 in 10 people survive a cardiac arrest? Most cardiac arrests happen in the home, so learning how to act fast could save the life of someone you love. Restart a Heart day will teach you how to respond in just three simple steps: CALL, PUSH, SHOCK.

Drop by PARC on Saturday morning between 9am – 12pm to learn from paramedics and paramedic students, who will be on hand to guide you through these critical steps and boost your confidence in delivering CPR. 

Every minute counts when restarting a heart – let’s work together to improve survival rates!
