Team
Studio owners Jules & Dee are the heart and soul of The Pilates Pad. Married for over 25 years with 3 children, they are passionate about life and sharing their love of Pilates.
Our Story
The Pilates Pad started as a small home based studio in Varsity Lakes in early 2014. As one of the first dedicated Reformer Pilates Studios on the Gold Coast, the home studio proved popular and resulted in a move to a larger commercial studio in Varsity Lakes later that same year. In 2016, Pilates Pad Studio in Nobby Beach opened up where we continue to offer both Private and Group Reformer Pilates classes.
Studio owners Dee & Jules have collectively more than two decades experience working in the fitness industry. Dee is a Pilates Instructor, highly regarded and sought after Pilates Instructor Trainer. Over the last several years she has trained thousands of instructors from Australia and overseas in repertoire including Matwork, Reformer, Wunda Chair, Cadillac and a variety of small equipment. Her previous experience includes working as a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness instructor for one of Australia's most popular health clubs.
Jules is an experienced Mat and Reformer Pilates Instructor, Studio Manager and Instructor Mentor. He comes from a background as a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and CrossFit Coach.
Dee & Jules enjoy being able to work and teach together and love to share their passion for Pilates and movement with others. Since taking over the Studio in 2019, they have established a small team of dedicated & skilled instructors with the same passion for Pilates, providing client focused and hands-on Pilates training experience.
The Pilates Pad instructors teach contemporary Pilates with a strong classical base and is dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming and inclusive community space to help you explore your own Pilates journey, whether through group classes, private sessions, family sessions or corporate classes.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Pilates Pad!

Testimonials
The Pilates Pad has given me the best continual knowledge and performance enhancing advice I have ever received in my life of exercising and I'm nearly 60. I drive 30 minutes, 4 days a week just to do my reformer pilates classes at The Pilates Pad, I feel great and apparently I don't look too bad either. Thank you Pilates Pad!

From the moment I stepped in the Pilates Pad door (so many years ago now) I was welcomed with enthusiasm, passion and highly trained staff members who have become more like family now. I couldn't be more proud of myself, of the mental and physical changes I have achieved over the years. I honestly have so much gratitude and couldn't thank The Pilates Pad enough.
Shannon S.
Best pilates reformer studio I have been to. Sessions are always interesting and tough. Instructors pay attention to clients and the quality of exercise. Everyone is very friendly.

The team at The Pilates Pad are 10 out of 10! I started with them at 22 weeks pregnant; Jules and Davina modified exercises adapting to my rapidly changing body. I was able to continue with both group and private classes until 3 days before my baby was born. I felt well, strong and I'm convinced that practising pilates during pregnancy has made the recovery faster. I highly recommend for anyone expecting to do Pilates with you!
Tegan S.
A beautiful bright, modern and welcoming Pilates Studio environment with incredibly knowledgeable instructors and high end equipment. Dynamic classes to suit and challenge all fitness levels. Owned and operated by a lovely couple, Davina & Julian. The small class sizes allow for individual modifications and guidance for a safe and effective workout. Highly recommended to first timers & pilates pros!
Naomi L.
This is the best and most professional Pilates Studio I've been to on the Gold Coast. All trainers are caring, highly skilled and considerate of your particular circumstances. I could not recommend them more!
Jade W.
I love The Pilates Pad!
The team is always so welcoming, caring and helpful. When I first started going, I had never done reformer pilates before and they made me feel so comfortable and confident! I would highly recommend it to anyone.
