Meet Team Vagabond

Hey, I’m Millie! Vagabond Pilates is run by myself and my husband Tim. After 49 years of combined military service (obviously we don't look old enough 😉), we decided to make our passion for health and fitness our focus and established Vagabond Pilates. While I’m very much 'front of house' and the lead instructor, in the background Tim is running the business side of things and making sure I stay on track!

Vagabond Pilates was established to smash the pilates studio mould. Think warm welcome, think fun, think laughter, think country music and think....sweat!

Vagabond Pilates is not a generic studio - I am here to be your friend, safe space, therapist and hype girrrrrl.

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.

At Vagabond Pilates, we believe in YOU!

Welcome to your come-as-you are, wear-what you-want, swear-as-much-as-you-like (it sometimes helps), feel good Pilates studio.

Every session is personalised to you. Subtly correcting posture or introducing props will help you get the best out of your flows and reps. Our sole purpose: to bring out the BEST in you!

Creating energy and movement as we train, so that every second you move is purposeful and fun.

By tapping into your potential we will deliver dynamic, customised classes that will progressively strengthen, stretch and balance your body.

…and with every flow, you’ll feel stronger and more confident.

It's super simple....we're crazy about Pilates - come and see what the fuss is about!

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!
