The Studio

Our studio, situated in the picturesque seaside suburb of Largs Bay, features an Equipment Room furnished with our beautifully handcrafted Australian-made Pilates equipment. Our Mat Room is thoughtfully arranged so clients can attend classes without needing to bring any equipment—mats are provided, along with a variety of small tools to ensure every mat class remains engaging and varied. The studio is air-conditioned for your comfort, and each class incorporates Kindred Self essential oils, music, and mindfulness techniques. We kindly ask that you bring your own socks to wear during class.

Chantell Murphy - Owner

Chantell’s passion for Pilates began through her own experience of its benefits, having dealt with years of chronic back pain following an injury sustained while nursing. After trying numerous treatments, she started practising Pilates and has not experienced any episodes of back pain since—now over 15 years ago.

Her enthusiasm for Pilates quickly grew, leading her to complete teacher training at Queen Street Pilates Studio under Leanne Mollison. In 2009, she earned the nationally recognised Diploma of Pilates Therapy and Instruction. Since then, Chantell has worked with a diverse range of clients, including the vision impaired and elite athletes, notably collaborating with the Port Power players.

Chantell values close partnerships with physiotherapists, which have deepened her understanding of various injuries and rehabilitation methods. Committed to her professional growth, she regularly attends further education sessions and is an active member of the APMA.

Outside of her professional life, Chantell is a Cancerian with three children and a friendly dog named Joni, who often accompanies her to the studio. Chantell is presently pursuing studies in Remedial Massage and is eager to broaden the range of services she provides.
