Explore what’s coming in your new Mind Body Studio, including the temporary closure of Studio 2 from Tuesday 27 January and a revised timetable.
WHAT'S COMING: LES MILLS™ REFORMER
Les Mills Reformer is a premium, resistance-based workout that strengthens, sculpts, and restores your body - without rushing the process. Using state-of-the-art reformer beds and moving to music, every rep is intentional and every movement counts.
With just 20 spots per class, you'll train in a calm, focused studio where quality comes first. No distractions. No chaos. Just you, the movement, and the work.
This is strength with control. Effort with purpose. This is a new state of mind.

If you arrive early and a class is in progress, relax in the studio lobby and ease into the moment.
Once the Mind Body Studio has opened, a booking will be required to attend BODYBALANCE® classes to ensure we can cater to all.
