Our classes
Hot Mat Pilates
Prepare to work up a serious sweat. This class redefines traditional mat Pilates with a modern twist, using equipment to create dynamic, flowing sequences that deliver a full-body workout. Suitable for all levels and held in a heated room at 30–34 degrees, the added warmth enhances cardiovascular benefits while the creative layering and movement patterns build strength, tone, and overall mind-body awareness.
Hot Mat Strength
This class blends our signature Hot Pilates with functional strength training for a powerful full-body session. Using heavier weights, higher reps, and supersets, you'll build strength and endurance in a heated room at 30–32 degrees. Extended sets create the ultimate burn, while strategic bursts of intensity elevate heart rates for a strong and balanced workout.
Hot Mat Yoga
This class offers a modern take on yoga in a 30–32 degree heated environment. Expect a balanced flow that builds strength, mobility, and mindful awareness through purposeful sequencing. The warmth supports greater ease in movement and enhances cardiovascular benefits, while longer holds and controlled transitions help develop stability and focus. Suitable for a wide range of experience levels, this session delivers a steady, grounding, and energizing practice.

Attending classes
We encourage you to arrive at least 5 minutes early so we can discuss any pre-existing conditions you may have.
If you are attending a single class and it is your first visit, keep in mind you will need to create a customer profile first. We suggest coming 15 minutes prior to facilitate this and purchase the class.
Bring a water bottle (no glass bottles), a towel, and workout wear you can move unrestricted and feel comfortable in. Please note that due to the heated room you will get sweaty. You may want to bring a change of clothes.
Unfortunately, The Hot Method is not suitable for pregnancy.
If you have an injury or mobility issue, it is recommended to consult with your medical practitioner first. Always notify your instructor of any existing conditions so alternate exercises can be provided. As this is group exercise, we cannot offer rehabilitation programs and recommend consulting with a physio.
While The Hot Method is not suitable while you are pregnant, around 6 weeks post natal you should be able to start participating (you should wait until being cleared by your doctor or mid-wife). Please pass any relevant information onto your instructor so we can provide suitable modifications.
We cater for all levels from beginner to advanced. Our classes have varying intensity levels. Be kind to yourself if you are just getting back into fitness and you are most welcome to take breaks where required. It is your journey and we aim to support you along the way.
Unfortunately, we’re unable to extend or offer credits for expired class passes and packs. Each pack and pass has a set expiry date.
