Now two ways to take on the challenge…

16 Classes in 28 days. The same as 4 classes a week for 4 weeks. $240 upfront. That’s $15 per class.

24 Classes in 28 days. The same as 6 classes a week for 4 weeks. $290 upfront. That’s $12 per class.

We know the holiday season is fast approaching, and that’s why we’re making it even easier to stay consistent - or step outside your comfort zone!

Don’t miss out.

Buy your Challenge package before Monday 17 November, and get ahead by booking your classes now.

Stay consistent, step outside your comfort zone and raise your level.

That’s how we build a better PLATFRM.

Two years ago, Tayla couldn’t run. “Genuinely, I’d try to run around the block and my heart rate would be 200”.

Now’s she regularly competes in the IRONMAN 70.3

Nothing’s too hard, you’re just not good at it yet.

Do hard things.

That’s how we build a better PLATFRM.

“I didn’t realise that there were actually different types of reformer Pilates out there, and when you say you developed strength-based reformer, like you made it, you actually did invent your own style of working out on the reformer, and I actually can’t just get this anywhere if I want this, I have to come to you”

Honestly guys; chill the f*ck out.

GM | Head of Marketing Tayla just got back from finishing her Half Ironman, and now you’ve got her working overtime because The Challenge wasn’t challenging enough! Shame on you all.

Here you go; The Challenge (Option 2). Now that we’ve done all the work behind the scenes it would be rude not too.

Lock in.

The Challenge starts this Monday.

16 Classes in 28 days. The same as 4 classes a week for 4 weeks.

$240 upfront (only $15 per class!)

We know the holiday season is fast approaching, and that’s why we’re making it even easier to stay consistent - or step outside your comfort zone!

Whether you’re new to PLATFRM, yet to experience once of our rooms, or are already an absolute guru - we’ve planned your challenge weeks so that all you need to do is show up!

Challenge yourself to attend 4 classes a week for 4 weeks (or 16 classes however you want over 28 days), and see how small, consistent habits create bigger tangible results.

Buy your Challenge package before Monday 17 November, and get ahead by booking your classes now.

Stay consistent, step outside your comfort zone and raise your level.

Now and then we get a question from you about why we don’t do planks or sit ups in the Run & Weights room, so it’s important you understand the reasoning behind it.

The long version; research consistently shows that heavy compound lifts like squats and deadlifts already produce high levels of abdominal activation (and therefore, they are more effective for you than planks and sit-ups).

During loaded movements, the abdominals and obliques work to transfer force efficiently between the upper and lower body. Studies comparing heavy squats and deadlifts to traditional ab exercises found that these lifts activate the trunk muscles to a greater degree (better than) planks and sit-ups,, especially under higher loads and closer to fatigue (Behm et al., 2005; Andersen et al., 2020; Clark et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2020).

We know that to reach meaningful abdominal activation, loads need to be at least 70 percent of one rep max (around 10 to 12 reps to failure), with activation increasing sharply beyond 80 percent (around 6 to 8 reps to failure); this is also why in the Run & Weights room, a lot of our compound lift are generally sit between 10-12 reps or less.

At these intensities, re**us abdominis and oblique activation typically reach 35 to 45 percent of maximal contraction, roughly double that seen in planks or sit ups! Abdominal involvement also rises throughout a working set, with the final few reps under fatigue producing the greatest stabilising demand.

This means our standard Run & Weights strength work already covers this requirement perfectly, provided athletes brace hard and maintain full body tension.

The short version; every squat, hinge, and carry we program in the Run & Weights room already trains your abdominals in their most functional role, under load, through movement, and with full body coordination. That’s why we don’t waste time chasing a burn with planks or sit ups. We build stronger abdominals by lifting eavy sh*t.

It’s never been about being a great runner, a reformer guru, or a world-class powerlifting athlete.

It’s about learning to love do hard things, and understanding that by doing hard things, we get better. Everything gets better.

It’s about making life better.

That’s why we build a better PLATFRM.

We recognise there’s a problem in the fitness industry.

Clients of all health and fitness levels are often placed in the same room, doing the same workout, with little to no oversight. Many are either out of their depth or not challenged enough, leading to frustration, loss of motivation, and a lack of progress. Over time, this results in poor adherence, inconsistency, and memberships that go to waste.

PLATFRM was created to solve that problem. Our scalable approach to training combines the science of strength and conditioning with the accessibility of small group coaching.

Every client begins with entry level classes, Reformer Fundamentals & Recovery and Run & Weights Endurance, designed to build capability, confidence, and skill. These sessions develop foundational strength, coordination, and aerobic capacity using principles from athletic development, adapted for everyday people.

Intermediate Reformer and Run & Weights Tempo introduce greater intensity and complexity through structured, evidence based training. Clients learn to lift heavier, move faster, and train with purpose, creating measurable progress.

At the advanced stage, Advanced Reformer and Run & Weights Speed drive performance under fatigue, reflecting true athletic conditioning.

Alongside this, PLATFRM’s 8 Week Strength Program delivers measurable full body strength through structured programming. Clients can join at any time, with sessions tailored to their level and coached with intent to ensure clear, ongoing progress.

All clients are encouraged to move through this full pipeline from entry level to advanced. This progression is the foundation of strength and conditioning, built on the principle of progressive overload; the key to continual improvement in health, performance, and body composition.

Every session is scalable, measurable, and individually driven. Progress is visible on both a macro and micro level, ensuring every client moves forward with purpose.

That’s how we build a better PLATFRM.

“Your reformer instructors seem to know things that others don’t.

Everything from how to deal with injuries, if I put my knee in exactly this location, I’m going to feel my bum, how what I do with my feet impacts my abs, but also how everybody in the room gets the most out of their time differently until they can’t do anymore, even though we’re all doing the same thing.

It’s a complete orchestration of finesse and intensity that I’ve never seen before”
