Meet Team Vagabond

Vagabond Pilates is run by Millie & Molly; Pilates Instructors and business besties with ‘Type A’ personalities. While Millie is the lead instructor, Molly is very much 'front of house' running the business and making sure the team is well looked after!

Vagabond Pilates was established to smash the pilates studio mould. We are not a generic, clicky soulless studio that confuses dynamic reformer workouts with actual reformer Pilates!

Vagabond Pilates is inclusive, positive and empowering. Think warm welcome, think fun, think laughter, think country music (other genres are available) and think....sweat!

With a hand picked team of incredible instructors - we are here to be your friend, safe space, therapist and cheerleader!

So much more than
just a Pilates session

After years of leadership in the military, we never saw anyone perform to their best when they were put down and berated. If we apply the same principle to our self talk and inner voice, our body is unlikely to perform and feel its best when we are criticising it and putting ourselves down.

Not everyone loves what they see in the mirror. We get it, in a world of filters and glam social media posts, our personal confidence and self esteem can take a hit. At Vagabond Pilates we will encourage you to focus on performance, what your body can do rather than what it can't. We are 100% invested in every client and together we will celebrate the wins no matter how small.

In turn, we hope that session by session you will start to see yourself in a positive light and feel your confidence soar.

Why choose us as your Pilates studio?

  • Picking your Pilates instructor is not something you should do lightly. Not only do you need to find someone you vibe with, it is important that you make sure they have the right qualifications and experience. At Vagabond Pilates you will find Certified STOTT Pilates instructors so you know you are getting the 'Gold Standard' - they're also pretty epic people.

  • Every body type is different and everyone has different goals. Book in, and let’s chat about your goals!

  • As STOTT instructors it also makes sense to have the 'Gold Standard' equipment to train with. In the studio you will find Merrithew reformers and other high-end props.

  • The hardest bit for some clients is walking through the door. We get that. It is important to Vagabond Pilates that you feel safe and comfortable to get the most out of your class. The studio has Moveactive grippy socks to borrow or buy and Tim's fridge with free drinks - trust us - you will need to hydrate. Whatever you need to get the most out of your class - Vagabond Pilates has got your back!
