“ESSE is so much more than just a Pilates studio to me. I always leave my sessions feeling stronger, refreshed, and energised. The studio itself is beautiful, welcoming, and clean, making it a place I genuinely look forward to visiting.

Every instructor puts so much care and effort into delivering well structured, engaging classes that challenge and motivate me, while still being enjoyable.

My favourite thing about ESSE is the consistency. No matter which class or instructor I book with, I know I’m going to get an incredible workout and leave feeling amazing.

The Studio owners and instructors commitment to continuous improvement is what makes ESSE such a special place.”

“The distinguishing factor of ESSE is the education of the Pilates teachers. I find not only do I get the vibe and the high flows, I also get the corrections which really helps me feek confident.”

“I can get the workout that I want in any class.  I don’t even look who the instructor is which is a bonus for me. They really give it their all here and I show my daughters that you can do this at any age.”

“As one of the founding members of ESSE Pilates, it’s been so rewarding to watch the studio grow into the incredible community it is today.

More than 662 classes later, I still genuinely look forward to coming through the doors each week. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive and consistently deliver challenging, engaging classes that keep me motivated.

What truly sets ESSE apart, though, is the sense of community. It’s a welcoming, encouraging environment where people feel connected and supported, and I’m grateful to have been part of the journey from the very beginning.”

“I’ve been coming to ESSE since my very first session in January 2023, and honestly, I can’t imagine my week without it.

I try to get there multiple times a week, and the fact that I’ve kept that up says everything. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely caring, and every session is planned with real intention.

The studio is warm and inviting, there’s zero judgement, the vibes are good and the music is amazing. The hot mat and reformer workouts push me every single session, and I walk out feeling like I’ve already conquered something, which makes the rest of the day feel easy by comparison.

What I didn’t expect was how much ESSE would change me beyond the physical, my mind is sharper, and I’ve built a real confidence in myself that I carry into everything I do.

ESSE doesn’t just change the way you move, it changes the way you show up for yourself.”

“Genuinely any person can come to ESSE and I feel that’s a major difference. Anyone can walk in the room and feel included and welcome.”

“I drive past about 15–20 different Pilates studios to get to ESSE, because it is like home. I don’t think there are many other studios that treat you like part of THEIR family.”

“I still remember my very first class at ESSE almost two and a half years ago. I'd never done Pilates before and I was so nervous walking in, but the experience completely won me over. I went home straight after and bought a membership because I just felt so good, both physically and mentally, that I knew I wanted more of it.

What's kept me at ESSE ever since is the instructors. The attention to detail is honestly unmatched. They’re constantly watching, correcting, and adjusting in ways that make you feel truly seen, not just another body in the room. And they're so encouraging without it ever feeling forced or performative. More recently, as I've started training for my first half Ironman, that same quality of coaching has quietly become a huge part of keeping me strong and injury-free through all the extra load.

Looking back, I don't think I realised how much that first class would end up shaping me. ESSE has been there through so many different chapters. Building my confidence, keeping me strong and steady through new challenges, and just being a constant source of feeling good in my body and mind.

It's more than a studio to me at this point, it genuinely feels like home.”

The trainers at Esse go above and beyond for our experience." You never know what you're going to walk into - it's so dynamic and different everytime you walk in.”

“I love everything about ESSE. I love the vibe. I love the girlies. I love how as soon as I walk in the door how I'm greeted & I love the friendships that I've made.”
