Our Story
I'm getting fomo. Let's do it
Paula
This place is for anyone who wants to be better; feel better, be better at sport, better after injury, more confident, independent, stronger. I took my nervous first steps through the door on a rehab journey after injury - and haven't left! Sarah and her amazing team took the time to understand where I was at and what I wanted to achieve; everyone is so friendly and the classes are a varied, challenging and fun! If you're thinking of having a go, do it, you won't regret it or the gains.

I feel that the classes are very inclusive, a great bunch of people, instructors are knowledgeable and fun! And I have been recommending to all my friends as I think often the thought of starting an established class is the scary bit. I love punchpass, really suits my lifestyle with been flexible and bookings etc are easy.
Let's book!
Maddie
It's the most beautiful vibe for a Pilates Studio, it's incredible and I have gone to my fair share of studios! It's a beautiful, really positive space that has been created there. I am loving it.
Let's book!

Sharon
My Husband & I have been clients of sarahs since before she started central core...
central core has become an addiction (of the good variety) and we love it.
Sarah has created a beautiful community within central core, it is fun, friendly, hip (with a bit of hop) and a lot of spice and burn. We have alot of laughs. every class is different which keeps it fresh and interesting. Reformer pilates has helped my lower back issues and sarah's hands on correcting ensure the perfect technique in every class.
Pilates changed my life. It is my job, my hobby and has been my work since 2015. A love of strength training mixed with a Chronic Fatigue diagnosis led me to search for a form of resistance training that would empower me without killing me but what I found was so much more, it is my purpose.
