Once you move beyond the initial adjustment of PLATFRM feeling more demanding and more effective than what you’re used to, something shifts.

Your standards lift and you want more for yourself; not just in your workouts, but in life itself.

When you continually challenge yourself to do hard things, you place yourself in environments and outcomes you once thought were out of reach.

We call it the PLATFRM Effect; a change in reference of who you thought you were, and who you might now become.

Raising of the level upon which people and things can stand.

That is why we build a better PLATFRM.

At PLATFRM, we pride ourselves on delivering progressive training that sets our clients up for long term success, not short term fatigue.

Fundamentals is where that process begins.

These classes are intentionally slower, more detailed and more coach led. We focus on teaching the skills of movement. You will learn how to set yourself up properly on the reformer, how to organise your body under load, how to understand spring tension, and how to execute key patterns with control and precision.

We prioritise quality over speed and understanding over exhaustion. This is where capability is built.

Before intensity, there must be competency. Before heavier loads, there must be technical ownership. Before advanced variations, there must be strong foundations.

Fundamentals allows you to develop the strength, coordination and body awareness required to progress safely and confidently into Intermediate and advanced class types.

Many clients tell us they appreciate the extra guidance, the hands on coaching and the reassurance that they are moving well. That is not accidental. It is deliberate. Education increases confidence.

Confidence increases performance.

If you are new to PLATFRM, returning after time away, or wanting to refine your technique, Fundamentals is your first step. It is the entry point into our pipeline and the platform on which everything else is built.

COMPLEMENTARY WORKSHOP | Build a Better Bench Press

Hosted by Charlotte and James, this workshop is designed to teach you how to bench press properly, safely, and with purpose. Most people never learn how to set up on a bench, create full body tension, position their shoulders, use leg drive, or understand how much load they should actually be lifting.

As a result, they press light weights with poor mechanics for years and never see real strength progress. In this session, we break the lift down from the ground up. You’ll learn correct setup, bar path, grip width, shoulder positioning, breathing and bracing, and how to apply progressive load over time.

You’ll also understand what a meaningful weight feels like and how to build confidence under the bar.

This is a workout and an education session built around one of the most important upper-body strength exercises you can do. You’ll leave knowing exactly how to bench press in a way that builds real strength and carries over into your training at PLATFRM.

“This will be my first challenge at PLATFRM, and i am so looking forward to adding a sprinkle of running and lifting to my usual reformer routine. PS: i dont know how the trainers seem to know my limit more than i do! I love getting the extra push in every class!”

Reformer workouts don’t sculpt and tone. You’re being sold a story. “Sculpt” and “tone” are marketing terms that really mean muscle growth and changes in body composition.

To grow muscle, you need to train hard with intensity and effort. Muscle growth isn’t random. It’s predictable when you apply the right stimulus consistently.

First, you need enough load.

Muscles grow when they’re challenged with resistance that actually feels heavy. If it’s too easy, your body has no reason to adapt. Our trainers understand strength science and prescribe springs and progressions accordingly.

Second, you need progression.

The same springs, the same classes, the same tempo every week won’t cut it. Add load. Add reps. Increase total work over time. Growth follows increasing demand. That’s exactly why our class pipeline exists.

Third, you need enough work.

One tough class here and there isn’t enough. Muscles respond to consistent, challenging sets each week. Our memberships and schedule are built for frequency and structure, not randomness.

Fourth, you need to train close to fatigue.

You don’t need to collapse, yet most sequences should finish with only 1 to 3 reps left in the tank. Easy rarely builds anything. We coach this deliberately.

Fifth, you need protein.

Training is the stimulus. Protein is the building material. If you’re unsure, speak to our friends at for more information.

Finally, you need recovery. Muscle doesn’t grow during the session. It grows when you rest, eat well and sleep properly. That part’s on you.

Load it properly. Progress it intelligently. Recover deliberately. That’s how bodies grow muscle and change.

Tempo is the most authentic form of hybrid training and the go-to for those who love to lift and run.

It is built to raise your lactate threshold, the fastest pace you can sustain before fatigue escalates. Most of this work falls within Zone 4, roughly 80% to 90% of maximal heart rate. This is the uncomfortable, controlled hard zone where breathing is heavy but sustainable. Training here consistently improves time-trial performance, VO2max, and running economy (Midgley et al., 2007; Seiler, 2010).

The structure is deliberate.

Your goal is to achieve as close to 2 km or more within a 10-minute treadmill effort. You then move to the floor for structured strength work before returning for another 10-minute effort. That pace places you directly in the threshold zone shown to improve aerobic durability and sustainable speed (Midgley et al., 2007).

Back-to-back Zone 4 efforts teach you to reproduce output under fatigue. Repeated high-intensity bouts improve buffering capacity and fatigue resistance (Bishop et al., 2004). You learn to stay composed while working hard.

On the floor, we prioritise heavy compound lifts in the 70% to 85% 1RM range.

Meta-analyses demonstrate that heavier loads are superior for maximising strength through greater mechanical tension and motor unit recruitment (Schoenfeld et al., 2017; Grgic et al., 2018). Increased maximal strength is associated with improved running economy and endurance performance (Blagrove et al., 2018).

Explosive dynamic exercises are layered in to improve the rate of force development and neuromuscular efficiency. Properly programmed concurrent strength and endurance training enhances both systems without meaningful interference (Fyfe et al., 2014).

Strength builds force. Zone 4 running builds capacity. Together, they build durability, speed and repeatable performance.

At PLATFRM, your workouts aren’t random.

They’re structured, progressive, and built on evidence-based strength and conditioning principles for athletic development and performance training for real-life application.

Whether that’s running faster for longer, lifting heavier, keeping up with your kids, or simply feeling more confident and sexy in your own skin, the objective is the same: build capabilities and capacity that transfer beyond the studio walls.

At PLATFRM, we are proud to coach you through exercise fundamentals, challenge you through progression and hold you accountable to standards that create measurable change.

New clients, if you’ve done Pilates before, you’ll notice that this feels different.

The intention, the loading, the progressions and the performance focus are not built around simply moving well; they’re built around building muscle and strength.

It may feel more challenging than what you’re used to. You might even be sore after your first session. That’s not a step backwards. It’s simply exposure to a new stimulus.

When you feel the difference, rather than being discouraged, take comfort in knowing that even though you’ve been on a reformer before, your fitness journey isn’t over. If anything, the fact that you’re here tells us you’re ready for something better

You’ve likely mastered one environment, and now you’re stepping into another that will ask more of you.

Stay consistent. Trust the process. Ask questions. We’ll guide you through it.

That’s how we build better PLATFRM.
