Mats
A soft mat with excellent support and still comfortable when used on surfaces like concrete!
Bahe Power Hold 4mm Yoga Mat
Live this may for how easy it is to store. We don’t have a lot of space I no our house and I love things to be out of sight, so this mat is perfect for it!
The Movement Mat by foldUP Online
Reformers & a Ballet Bar
The BEST quality home reformer in a reasonable price range. Paying much less then $3,000AUD for a reformer is going to result in something much lower quality. This machine wears incredible well (if at all) and is studio-grade smooth to use
YR Original Reformer Bed
This is the best *folding* at home reformer you’ll find. I wouldn’t recommend any of the wooden looking ones, that also fold, as the tracks can start to miss a line and create a bump in the carriage as you use it. The steel framed ones hold up perfec...
The Transformer Reformer
A freestanding barre for any barre work outs!
MEMAX Wooden Ballet Barre 1.5M for Dance & Fitness
Hex rubber dumbbells are my preferred style of weight, as they’re able to be held while they’re on the ground. This can help with wrist pain in planks etc if you need it! A 1kg set is perfect to begin. Plus a 3kg, 5kg & 7kg if you want to do some...

My go to for at home may and reformer work while pregnant!
Pregnancy Wedge Black
I’d argue that most bands are made equal, so choose ones that are cute! These are from a Brisbane studio called Vicalates and their colour scheme is unmatched.
Vicalates Bands Set
Wearable weights help elevate your mat work when you’re looking for an extra challenge!
Holyfire Adjustable Ankle & Wrist Weights 2Lbs
A Pilates ball is a must have for home workouts. If you only choose one prop, let it be this one! It’s one that will both support and challenge you, depending on how you use it.
PROIRON 25cm Mini Pilates Exercise Ball
The Pilates circle. One of the original pieces of small equipment designed by Joseph Pilates himself!
Yoga Ring Double Handle Fitness Circle Pilates
If you like to keep your workout space set up, and prefer a certain aesthetic, these weights are for you!
Curved Weight Bars - Espresso 2kg
I bought a weighted ring from Bala when they first came out, and I love it! They are definitely a great product, but now there are a lot of other versions of the same thing available! I love this colour from move active

Hundreds and hundreds of classes that are mat Pilates, reformer Pilates, yoga, barre, strength and hiit! The instructors all have the signature ‘Barre Body magic’ that leaves you feeling great afterwards
BARRE BODY ONLINE | Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates, Barre, Yoga and Strength
Hands down the best online teacher. Vic had such a depth of knowledge that makes doing her classes at home just as effective (and hard!)
VICALATES VIRTUAL - Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Wanda Chair, Barrels
Love love love Gemma’s style of teaching. It’s calm and intentional but extremely effective Pilates. She has a lot of strength classes too if you crave lifting some heavier dumbbells!
