Alex decided to fully embrace her passion for Pilates after seven years of being a devotee. In 2012 she studied to become a Pilates Instructor. With a background in Classical Ballet with the Queensland Ballet, she has also continued with involvement in adult dance.

Being the proud mother of four boys, she understands the pressures of busy lives and the importance of striving to achieve a balanced approach. She believes Pilates is beneficial for both mind and body and helps to maintain this balance. Her focus is on technique, strength and flexibility in a welcoming environment.

Ruth’s biggest belief is that everybody should have access to affordable quality training for rehab, prehab, and bio-mechanical understanding of their body.

Her loves are Dance (and teaches Tango !), Anatomy and Bio-mechanics and her mission in life is to learn all she can and pass on that knowledge, to help people understand the way their body works, to minimise pain and to improve quality of movement at every level of ability.

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! I’m Olivia, creator of Studio High Street. You’ll find me in the Studio teaching a range of our classes, and managing our day to day operations. I’m always open to feedback, requests and suggestions from clients about our offerings, so please feel free to contact me!

Having endured a broken collarbone from a skateboarding fall at 21, and an arthroscopy and meniscus repair ten years later, I am no stranger to injuries and their ensuing imbalances. For my own injury rehab, I came to experience that the body needs to change up its regimen in order to continue seeing results and avoiding a plateau.

I particularly love the benefits of pilates for the body as there is the ability for such a diverse workout, which other modalities don’t offer. Pilates also targets the the small muscles of the body which are often overlooked in more typical fitness environments – and the results speak for themselves.

Prior to Studio High Street, I was working with physios and chiros running small group classes to help clients with ease of movement, increasing their strength, mobility and fitness.

For many years now I have been delivering yoga and mat pilates onsite to various corporate companies in the area. In addition to my work here at the studio, I still run corporate classes so if you’d like onsite mat pilates, yoga or Bounce onsite, do let me know!

Outside of the studio, Olivia enjoys cooking up storms, anything coffee related and all things cheese!
