About Luke
I'm Sophie — a STOTT-trained reformer and mat Pilates instructor running a private studio in Surry Hills. Seven years teaching, six of those one-on-one with a focus on rehab-friendly strength, postnatal core recovery, and dancers / desk-workers with cranky hips and necks.
How I work
Every client starts with a 90-minute assessment so we can see what your body actually does — not what the questionnaire says. From there it's a structured 6–10 week block on the reformer, with mat homework you can do anywhere, and reassessment built in.
I work closely with three local physios — if something's outside my scope, you'll know and we'll triage it together.
What I offer
- 1:1 reformer + mat at my private Surry Hills studio
- Live online mat-Pilates sessions (you need a mat + a small set of bands)
- Duets (bring a friend) — $65 per person
Who I work best with
- Postnatal women rebuilding from diastasis recti or pelvic-floor issues
- Office workers with neck/shoulder/hip stuff that's not bad enough for physio but isn't going away
- Dancers and runners cross-training to stay injury-free
- People who want Pilates as actual strength training, not as a stretching class
Health-fund rebates apply with most major extras providers.
What's included
- Free 15-minute phone consult before you commit
- Movement assessment + 1-page plan in session 1
- Coordination with your GP if Medicare CDM applies
- Texts between sessions when you need a check-in
- No lock-in. Pay session-by-session.
Came to Luke with a torn meniscus and a fear of squatting again. Six months later I’m deadlifting more than I did before surgery.
I’d been told I had to stop training because of my heart. Luke worked with my cardiologist and got me back on the floor. Honest, no nonsense.
After two kids my back was a mess. Luke didn’t just give me exercises — he taught me how to move like an adult again.
