OUR STORY
Movement that feels personal.
Pure Reform Pilates was created from a belief that Pilates should be more than a one-size-fits-all fitness class.
Studio owner Tarina recognised a need for smaller group classes where knowledgeable instructors have the time to understand the person in front of them — how their body moves, what they want to achieve and where they may need a little more guidance.
The result is a boutique pilates studio in Hampton, Bayside Melbourne, built around personal attention, thoughtful movement and genuine connection.
Whether you're new to pilates, returning to movement or have been practising for years, our aim is simple: to help you feel stronger, more confident and more connected to your body — through every age and stage of life.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Move well. Feel well. Live well.
Joseph Pilates developed his method around the connection between body and mind, believing that physical wellbeing supports the way we experience everyday life. That philosophy still resonates with us today.
At Pure Reform Pilates, movement isn't about keeping up with the person beside you or pushing your body through a prescribed workout. It's about learning how your own body moves and building strength, mobility, control and confidence over time.
Our instructors guide you with care and intention, helping you move with greater awareness and get more from every session.
The Pilates Method teaches you to be in control of your body and not at its mercy.

Meet the Team
MEET TARINA
A lifelong love of movement, with a personal approach to pilates.
Movement has always been an important part of Tarina's life. Growing up loving sport, she discovered early that moving her body wasn't only about physical fitness — it was also one of the best ways to reset her mindset and feel good.
During her first pregnancy while living in London, Tarina discovered pilates and was hooked. She went on to train in Mat and Reformer pilates with Polestar Pilates, an internationally recognised leader in Pilates Teacher Training. Polestar's holistic, science-based approach continues to influence the way she teaches today.
For Tarina, teaching is about helping people feel comfortable and confident in their own bodies. Pure Reform Pilates brings that philosophy to life through a welcoming space where people can move, connect and feel part of a community.
Tarina lives locally with her husband Tom, daughters Grace and Lilly, and Charlie the Cavoodle.
