the experience · the method

Not another pilates studio. A method of our own.

The Flowhouse experience blends contemporary Pilates with modern strength training on the FlowFormer — our custom reformer. Slow tempo, time under tension, breath, precision, and control, sequenced into one continuous flow.

six principles

Built on pilates. Programmed for now.

Joseph Pilates was a movement obsessive. So are we. The Flowformer method takes his original principles and re-sequences them for a contemporary practice and a coastal life.

01 · custom equipment

A custom reformer, built for our method.

The FlowFormer is our custom reformer, developed specifically for the way we teach. The real innovation isn't just the machine — it's the Flowhouse Method, the programming, and the experience built around it.

02 · modern + classical

Two lineages, one sequence.

Our founder trained across classical Pilates and contemporary reformer methods. The Flowformer method draws from both — classical control, contemporary pacing, no purist apologies.

03 · time under tension

Slow eccentrics. Loud results.

A six-second eccentric beats a thirty-rep blitz. Time-under-tension programming trains the deep stabilising muscles classical pilates is famous for — the ones that hold every other movement together.

04 · continuous movement

No stopping. No standing around.

Every Flowformer class is sequenced as one continuous breath-led flow. You'll move from one position to the next without a break — and the carryover work happens between exercises, not in spite of them.

05 · grounded strength

Low impact. High intention.

The reformer rewards control. We reward control. The Flowformer method is low impact by design and intense by sequencing — strength without strain, every single class.

06 · nervous-system regulation

Breath as the metronome.

Every Flowformer class ends in a long, deliberate cool down — because regulation is part of the work, not after it. You'll walk out lighter than you came in.

the machine

The reformer behind the Flowhouse Method.

By combining the principles of Joseph Pilates with contemporary movement training, we've created an elevated movement experience that is uniquely Flowhouse. The FlowFormer is our custom reformer — chosen and refined for the way we teach, so the movement can always come forward.

before your first class

A few things to know.

Everything you need for a calm, confident first visit. Your instructor guides the rest.

Grip socks

Required for safety and hygiene. Available for purchase in the studio if you need a pair.

Arrive early

First-timers should arrive about ten minutes before class for a short orientation and FlowFormer setup.

What to bring

Bring water and wear comfortable, fitted movement clothing you can move freely in.

Spring changes

Your instructor guides every spring adjustment. There's no need to change resistance until directed.

Modifications

Modifications are always available. Let your instructor know about any injuries or concerns before class.

Phones

Please keep phones silent and stored away so the room stays calm and focused for everyone.

The FlowFormer

Our custom reformer. Your instructor will walk you through the carriage, platform, springs, straps, and safety features.

Class flow

Classes follow an intentional sequence. Your instructor guides every movement, transition, and spring change from start to finish.

good to know

A little flowhouse language.

A few terms you'll hear in the studio — so your first class feels familiar before you arrive.

Flow FormerOur custom reformer.

The matte-black machine at the centre of every class, built specifically for the way we teach — carriage, platform, springs, and straps working together.

Time under tensionSlow, controlled reps.

Moving slowly and with control so muscles work for longer through each rep. It's how we build strength without impact.

The FlowThe rhythm of class.

A continuous, breath-led sequence that carries you from one movement to the next — the signature rhythm of a flowhouse class.

Springs & resistanceYour load, guided.

The reformer's springs set your resistance. Your instructor guides every change, so you're always working at the right load.

ModificationMeeting you where you are.

A small adjustment to a movement — a different range, position, or spring — so every body can work safely and effectively.

ProgressionThe next step up.

A way to add challenge to a movement once form is solid — more range, more load, or a longer hold, always earned.

Eccentric movementThe lengthening phase.

The lengthening phase of a movement. We slow it down on purpose — long eccentrics are where lasting strength is built.
