The Studio
Our Studio, located in the beautiful seaside suburb of Largs Bay, comprises an Equipment room complete with our beautiful Australian made, hand crafted Pilates Equipment.
Our Mat room is set up so our clients can attend their classes without needing to bring anything to class. Mats are provided and we use a range of small equipment to guarantee your mat class will never be boring or repetitive.
The studio is air conditioned for your comfort and we incorporate Kindred Self essential oils, music and mindfulness techniques into each class. All we ask is that you bring your own socks to wear to class.
Chantell Murphy - Owner
Chantells’ passion for Pilates arose out of her own experiences of it’s benefits, dealing with years of chronic back pain following an injury whilst nursing. After trying everything she eventually began practising Pilates and has not had any episodes of back pain since. That was 15 years ago!
Quickly developing a passion for Pilates, she undertook the teacher training at Queen Street Pilates Studio under Leanne Mollison and obtained the nationally recognised Diploma of Pilates Therapy and Instruction in 2009. Since then she has been privileged to work with a wide variety of clients, from the vision impaired to elite athletes, working with the Port Power players. Chantell has enjoyed working closely with Physiotherapists to gain a thorough understanding of a wide range of injuries and rehabilitation practices. Chantell continually attends further education sessions and is a member of the APMA.
Chantell is a Cancerian and has three 3 Children and a lovely dog called Joni who regularly attends the Studio! Joni greets people as they enter the studio and enjoys all the love and special attention!

In Loving Memory of daisi
Daisi was more than just a beloved dog, she was a cherished part of the Studio’s soul. A gentle Capricorn with a wise and playful spirit, she loved nothing more than being by Chantelle’s side, a good frolic down the beach, followed by curling up on her special spot by the door to warmly greet everyone who came to the studio.
Daisi brought joy, calm, and connection to all who visited, offering her quiet presence and soaking up every bit of love and attention that came her way. A truly loyal companion to Chantelle and a friend to many, her big beautiful toothy smile touched countless hearts.
We sadly said a heartfelt goodbye to Daisi on 7th August 2024, but her spirit still lingers softly through the space. Forever part of the Studio’s story, forever part of the Studio’s soul.
