Hi, I’m Karlie – a Brisbane based Pilates Instructor. I work at various studios in Brisbane, hold classes for private clients, and also work for some big corporate businesses in the area. I am a trained Barre, Reformer, and Mat Pilates instructor and I absolutely love what I do!
After working for 10 years in the marketing and events industry, I found Pilates by pure chance. I had always been into health and fitness but had never found anything that transformed my body, mind and spirit like Pilates.
I signed up to an anatomy course, and shortly moved onto my matwork qualifications – all while I was working full time. I was so excited to have finally found my ‘thing’, my ‘passion’ and I knew this was what I wanted to do all day, every day.
I have suffered from lower back and knee pain since highschool (thanks cross country running!), so I was amazed that I would walk out of a Pilates class feeling reenergised, feeling a ‘good’ sore rather than completely exhausted and fatigued.
Over the last 5 years I have evolved my style of teaching to include a fusion of pilates, barre, yoga, and functional training that I know you will love. If you cant attend my classes in Brisbane you can sign up to my online workouts for less than the cost of a cup of coffee per week.
I want to introduce as many people as possible to Pilates, and encourage them to live a happy, healthy and well balanced life.
I look forward to working out with you soon.
Whether you are a busy full time worker, travel a lot, or just want to workout in the comfort of your own home, my online studio is for you.
For less than the cost of a cup of coffee per week, you will have unlimited access to over 100 mat pilates, reformer pilates, barre and deep stretch workouts which you can filter through length, equipment or body part. I will suggest a weekly schedule for you to follow or you can choose your own workout from the library. New workouts are uploaded regularly so make sure you follow me on Instagram @thatpilatespassion for announcements, continual motivation, tips and tricks.
For that added personal attention, my private classes can be held in the privacy of your own home. I can see you one on one, or with a small group of family or friends. Your private session will include an assessment and personalised work out. Contact me here to enquire about private session availability and pricing.

Reduce staff stress levels and reward sore necks, shoulders and achy lower backs. Or use Pilates to boost team morale. I can come to you and hold a group Pilates session at your workplace. (Note some travel costs may be involved if outside the CBD). Contact me here to enquire about corporate session availability and pricing. (Image via Sweat Social)
Are you a studio owner looking for covers or permanent pilates classes? I currently work at various studios around Brisbane and am trained in Barre, Mat and Reformer Pilates. Contact me here to enquire about my current studio availability.
